Editor removed the Prod without an edit summary. Article was previously deleted as a G11. The only non trivial source I could find is a link to The Chester County, Pennsylvania commissioners website [1] NN locaL politician, fails WP:POLITICIAN.—Sandahl (talk) 18:22, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I only found trivial coverage, mostly in local news. One county commissioner of a county of population less than 500k is not sufficient for passing WP:POLITICIAN. Ray^Talk 15:30, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I found quite a bit of coverage in the regional paper, the Philadelphia Inquirer (was WP:BEFORE followed?), and added several references to the article. County commissioners aren't automatically notable, but I think he makes it, partly for being the first African-American elected to his position. --MelanieN (talk) 21:12, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete. While MelanieN's efforts are greatly appreciated, I don't think that that particular achievement alone is grounds for notability; the coverage is thin and the only independent source that says anything about him (as far as I can tell) is the 1999 Inquirer article.

Comment - This is a county commissioner whose sole achievement seems to be having been the first county commissioner of his ethnicity in that particular county. While I am loathe to delete political biographies, this one doesn't seem to pass muster. Carrite (talk) 17:23, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
