fails WP:BIO. simply being a city manager is not enough. he gets gnews hits but more for statements he's said representing the city, not actual coverage about him as a person like education, career achievements etc. LibStar (talk) 06:47, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. City manager is way too down the line of government hierarchy to be considered notable. Especially if the city involved isn't a major metropolis like New York City. There are sources from local media mentioning him, but none of them specifically focus on him, as is required by WP:RS. Either way, the subject doesn't meet the criteria in WP:BIO for politicians, which requires that local leaders underneath the mayor must usually be "members of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city".--Hongkongresident (talk) 08:20, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete A man doing a job. In fact, if he's Deputy CM at Austin as well, doing two jobs. (Unless that means he's upping and offing in the near future...) No real notability shown, and in fact unreferenced in any outside source. Is a City Manager a politician? They aren't elected (at least, our equivalents aren't), and if they are anything like ours are usually in battle with the politicians as to who actually runs the place. Whatever, non-notable.

 * Technically not. But as WP:BIO does not have a notability guideline specifically for "City Managers", the politicians guideline, which does discuss what to deal with the direct subordinates of people who are elected officials, will have to do. :)--Hongkongresident (talk) 13:20, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
