Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul Rexe
There are two different uses of reliable sources which seem to be conflated in this AfD: (1) Can we |verifiably document the factual information about the subject that we've included in the article? Yes. Local newspapers are fine for that. (2) Do the sources attest to the significance of the subject? Would someone looking at this article come away from it with a clear idea of what this person is known for and why there's a Wikipedia article about him? No. National-level media coverage would do that but the kind of coverage that's in the current article doesn't. There are other ways to find significance, for instance  outlines several and  several more (if he were a member of parliament rather than a local alderman, he'd automatically be significant regardless of whether the actual sources we could find about him were in local newspapers) but neither of those seem to work in this case
