Too much of the referencing here is |primary sources that are not support for notability at all, such as government meeting minutes and the |self-published websites of organizations he's directly affiliated with — but the stuff that's actual media coverage is not adding up to passage of , as it's exclusively local to his own hometown, and is still split between sources that briefly namecheck his existence as a giver of soundbite in articles that aren't about him, and coverage that is about him but exists in a ''context'', like losing a city council election, that is not notable in its own right either. GNG is not a matter of "anybody who can show that their name has made it into any newspaper two or more times is automatically guaranteed a Wikipedia article" — GNG also tests for the depth of how substantively any source is or isn't ''about him'', the geographic ''range'' of how widely he's ''getting'' covered, and the ''context'' of what he's getting covered ''for'', and none of this clears those bars
