Being an officeholder at the county level of government is ''not'' an automatic  pass just because you can show a ''couple'' of pieces of media coverage of the fact — ''every'' one of the ''tens of thousands'' of county councillors across the United States could show this much coverage for the fact, so what it takes to make him notable for that is much ''more'' coverage than the norm. And writing a book isn't an automatic notability freebie either, if the only sources you can show for that are its primary source pages on the |self-published website of its own publisher and Amazon.com — he needs to be the ''subject'' of |reliable source coverage ''about'' his writing to get a Wikipedia article for being a writer, but none at all is being shown here
