Stewart Chen (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Part-term city councilman who appears to fail WP:POLITICIAN; all the coverage I can find is either very local to his small city (Alameda, California, population about 75K) or a passing mention. Nat Gertler (talk) 04:44, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Wikipedia doesn't extend a presumption of notability to city councillors unless the city is an internationally prominent global city on the order of New York City or London, so he doesn't pass WP:NPOL on that basis. In theory, he could potentially still qualify for a really well-sourced and substantive article on WP:GNG grounds — but nothing written or sourced here actually demonstrates any real reason why he should be considered more notable than most other city councillors, so I'm not seeing a credible GNG claim either.

 * Delete - besides being not so notable, this page might become little more than an attack BLP. Bearian (talk) 21:06, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable. At least 3 of the references do not support notability (League of women voters pamphlet, 1&5; city charter, #2). The remainder are local papers, one a freebie. LaMona (talk) 01:04, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
