Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John M. Puente
Per , people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being non-winning candidates in city council elections — and in fact, Sacramento is ''not'' in the narrow range of cities where even ''winning'' a city council seat would have been an automatic inclusion freebie in and of itself. And there's no evidence of preexisting notability for other reasons here, either: the only other potential notability claim present here at all is "Vice Chair of the City of Sacramento's Utilities Rate Advisory Commission", which is not an article-clinching notability claim, and the article's sourcing is almost entirely |primary sources that cannot support notability at all, except for a single |reliable source which isn't even about him but just namechecks his existence in a brief employment announcement blurb about his successor in the local business journal, which wouldn't even have been enough to get the ''successor'', its actual ''subject'', a Wikipedia article in and of itself. That's not even close to good enough to deem Puente as passing
