Local politician. Can't see enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG, and doesn't meet either WP:NPOL or WP:MUSICBIO. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:52, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not yet notable. Mccapra (talk) 18:09, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Absolutely nothing stated in this article demonstrates that he passes our notability standards for businesspeople, musicians or politicians. None of those are careers in which people are automatically notable just because a smattering of local interest coverage in their hometown local media offers technical verification that they exist — musicians aren't automatically notable just because they've played a local festival in their hometown, businesspeople aren't automatically notable just because they bought and renamed a local theater venue, unsuccessful city council candidates aren't automatically notable as politicians, and on and so forth. All of those occupations require a person to surpass certain specific criteria of achievement before a Wikipedia article becomes appropriate, and we are not a free public relations venue for people to promote themselves just because they have jobs.
