Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Terence M. O'Rourke
I’m not sure where to include this, but in response to one of the comments for deletion - specifically, “Unelected candidate for office with no notability under  and no other claim for inclusion”, I’d like to add that O’Rourke is, in fact, an elected official. He has been an elected official in my town for four years as a member of the Alton Budget Committee. Now, in the wake of the 2016 election, that may not seem like a big “election” to some of you, but to a town of only a couple thousand people, who already feel like they get left out of everything, that means something. He literally means the difference, for example, between whether the school budget passes or not. Not only is it an elected position, it is done without any pay or compensation whatsoever. Without people like O’Rourke who are willing to filll these positions in our small towns, our day to day functions would, quite literally, break down. So, if it means adding one more measly little Wikipedia page to the already millions you have, then would it hurt to honor a local official who is doing, has done, and will do more for the average person day to day than a dumb, two-bit YouTube celebrity (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_YouTubers
— NONE, NONE
