Municipal judge is not a level of office that guarantees an article under our notability criteria for judges, and the sourcing shown here is not sufficient to deem him a special case of greater notability than the norm.  is ''not'' just "count the footnotes and keep anybody who passes an arbitrary number" — it tests the sources for their ''depth'', their ''geographic range'' and the ''context'' of what they're covering the person ''for'', not just the raw number of footnotes present. But what I'm getting from these footnotes is that they're almost exclusively local coverage in local interest contexts that aren't notability-makers, such as giving soundbite to the media in his former role as a member of the local school board, and more often than not aren't even ''about him'', but just briefly namecheck his existence in the process of being ''about'' something ''else''. We're not looking for how many news articles we can find that happen to have his ''name'' in them, we're looking for how many news articles we can find that are ''about'' him accomplishing something that would get him over our specific inclusion criteria for judges — and literally ''none'' of these sources fulfill the latter
