Poorly sourced biography of a person notable only as a city councillor. Dayton OH is not a global city for the purposes of getting its city councillors over WP:NPOL #2, so the notability test a city councillor in Dayton would have to pass to get into Wikipedia is that he could be referenced to a volume and range and depth of media coverage that marks him out as a special case over and above most other city councillors -- but the only reference here is a legacy.com repost of his standard paid-inclusion obituary in the local newspaper classifieds, not actual journalism, so it's not a source that assists in demonstrating his notability at all.

- Redirect to Politics of Dayton, Ohio maybe? I'm not sure he's even that notable, though. valereee ( talk) 18:16, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Doesn't pass WP:NPOL and there isn't enough sustained and significant enough coverage to establish WP:GNG. Best, GPL93 ( talk) 00:28, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
