Subject of the article fails WP:POLITICIAN. Local government chairman are generally not considered notable. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 07:38, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Local Government Chairman (or woman) are just like County Executives here in the US and the Leader of the County Council in the UK. I do not see County Executive and Leader of the County Council pages of being tagged for deletion. The County Board of Legislators here in the US is very similar to the Local Government Council, the elected Legislators represent a district, while elected Members represent a ward and are in charge of a field (ex. Environment, Finance and Supplies, Estate & Valuation, Youths & Sports). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aelimian21 (talk • contribs) 15:34, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, even in the United States and the United Kingdom county councillors don't get an automatic inclusion freebie on Wikipedia just because they exist. Local government officials can get into Wikipedia if they can be reliably sourced well enough to satisfy WP:GNG, but they do not get an automatic right to keep a Wikipedia article that's written this poorly and/or rests entirely on primary sources and Wordpress or Blogspot blogs as this does. WP:NPOL explicitly limits the notability of local political figures to those who can be well-sourced to reliable source coverage, and does not grant automatic inclusion rights to all members of any county or municipal government just because it's possible to verify that they exist. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if it can be sourced properly to substantive coverage in reliable sources. Bearcat (talk) 21:20, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can You please inform me of any deleted County Executive Pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aelimian21 (talk • contribs) 17:03, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There have been many, trust me. I'm not going to spend my time hunting down every past example for you, but for one very recent example, look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barry Saul. Bearcat (talk) 17:36, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This LGA is too small to give its chairman inherent notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:36, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Barry Saul was a councilor who was the ceremonial position, Olorode Samuel Oluade is an elected official. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aelimian21 (talk • contribs) 18:03, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't matter. He still doesn't get an inclusion freebie just for existing, if the article isn't citing any reliable source coverage to earn him inclusion. Bearcat (talk) 01:21, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Afijio may not be the largest, or most populous LGA in Oyo State, though the northern border of the LGA reaches the ancient city of Oyo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aelimian21 (talk • contribs) 18:26, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It has an area of 722 km² and a population of 134,173 at the 2006 census.Aelimian21 (talk) 12:36, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:NPOL. Only national and firts-level-below-national politicians have de facto inherent notability, everybody in lower levels needs coverage to pass GNG. Web searches turn up only a few routine announcements and press releases. Kraxler (talk) 14:56, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
