As large and significant as Tampa is, it is still not a global city for the purposes of being able to make its city councillors notable enough for articles just for the fact of serving as city councillors per se. He could still clear the bar if something genuinely substantive and |reliably sourced could be written about his political career which demonstrated credible evidence (eg. nationalizing coverage) that he was a special case over and above most other city councillors — but this, as written, is not so much an encyclopedia article as it is an unsourced "meet your councillor" blurb of the type one would expect to see on the city council's own self-published website. The key to getting a city councillor over the "special case" bar does not hinge on being able to primary-source his pre-politics career and volunteer backgrounds, because ''every'' city councillor ''always'' has career and community involvement backgrounds and a primary-source profile on the city council's website — it hinges on being able to ''reliably'' source genuinely substantive content about his work ''on the city council
