She fails WP:NOTE. A Seattle city councilwoman who was appointed, not even elected. Clarityfiend 17:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Although I have seen articles for members of major city councils (e.g. NYC) I am not thrilled with them, unless it's a council/manager form of government, which few major cities are. In most cases the mayor holds the vast majority of the "notable" power in US cities, i.e. appointments & budgets & policies. In such cases I'd like to see real notability established, and WP:BIO does agree; beneath state legislature level, politicians should have substantial coverage of their activities to be notable. That means interviews, initiatives, etc. --Dhartung | Talk 19:10, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't believe local (as in city-level) politicians are notable. Corpx 21:43, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete as some city councillors can be notable, but I am not sure that she is notable. Bearian 23:44, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep if there are more sources. in this particular case, there are no sources given except the appointment. From the one source there is, there seems to have been considerable previous controversy, so perhaps more sources can be found. I dislike blanket statements about local politicians. Some are nonentities, others notable. DGG (talk) 02:16, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - article is now better sourced. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 05:49, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is not the strongest keep motion ever, but it barely satisfies the goals of WP:BIO by a smidge.  Burntsauce 18:57, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
