Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a politician notable only for serving at the county level of government. As always, this is not a level of government that confers an automatic pass of our notability standards for politicians; people at the county level of government get into Wikipedia only if they can be reliably sourced as much more notable than the norm for this level of office, namely by having coverage that nationalizes far beyond just their local media. But with just two footnotes here, which are both primary sources that are not support for notability at all, that bar has not been cleared. This was also a WikEd project which escaped being prodded two months ago because the course instructor personally deprodded on the grounds that "this page provides basic biographical information about a local government official in a county where it is very difficult for citizens to learn about their elected officials. Wikipedia is one of the only ways to research", but this does not constitute an exemption from our normal notability standards for politicians either: Metro Chattanooga has real media and Catoosa County's government has a website, so I don't know why anybody would think their county councillors were otherwise unresearchable (or why they would think it was our job to rectify the matter by waiving our normal notability and sourcing requirements even if it were true.)

 * Delete, no claim to notability for WP:BLP, and the sources are inadequate at that. Do, however, keep in mind that the article survived a PROD. Utopes (talk) 05:02, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
