Harrity represents 1.6 million people. In other context, big urban cities council members all have wikipedia pages. Harrity's page matches up with the status quo, if we delete his page then we have to delete many other pages User:Phillypaboy123^{Let's Talk !} 10:18, 6 December 2022 (EST)

• Comment: The articles of municipal councilors of large global cities are often kept at AfD; I suppose the argument is whether Philly qualifies as that. No opinion either way at the moment, just laying out the foundation. Curbon7 (talk) 02:04, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I find nothing else about him except that he was elected to the city council. I unfortunately can't get to the one source (inquirer) that appears to be a significant source, but I am assuming it is. So there is one fairly good source. But remember that for the purposes of notability, a source, like Philadelphia Inquirer is viewed as one source even though it is repeated in the article; and that seems to be the main support for this article.

• Comment Harrity also one of the leaders of the state party as a "Political Director", one of the most important positions.

Can you give a link for that? And also, sign your entries here. Lamona (talk) 17:52, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's a state party level staff position, not seeing any inherent notability. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 09:47, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when he can be sourced better. While it's true that city councillors in global cities like New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago or Philadelphia are often accepted as notable enough, that isn't an automatic guarantee in all cases — it hinges less on verifying that he exists as a city councillor, and more on the amount of
