Deletion of Del Pepper

Comment: The "local coverage" criterion as applied to people was discussed at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)/Archive 2019#Local sources, again where it was advocated in relation to "write ups in very obscure sources, like city-wide or parish-wide magazines". The criterion was not included even for that very limited scope. If it had been incorporated by analogy with  it would be the narrow circulation of the newspaper, not whether the person is only known close to the place of publication, that would matter.  and POL are guidelines and people are free to disregard them if they like but to claim that references by the Washington Post are to be discounted is firmly against our guidelines

Comment: I'm not aware of any applicable guideline in this area that prohibits the use of local coverage: NPOL is quite clear that meeting the GNG is enough, and WP:AUD-style restrictions on the GNG have been rejected numerous times. And coverage like https://alexandrialivingmagazine.com/news/longtime-city-councilwoman-del-pepper-announces-retirement/ this and https://www.alxnow.com/2020/06/24/councilwoman-del-pepper-honored-for-35-years-of-public-service/ this is certainly enough to meet the GNG. There's thus no guideline-based reason to conclude that Pepper is non-notable: after all, we're |not paper, so there's nothing preventing us from including well-sourced articles like this one
