Credible claim of notability as the directly elected county executive of a county which had 850,000 residents -- 50% more than the number represented by a congressman and four times that of a state senator or member of the assembly -- with the reliable and verifiable sources needed to establish the claim. While the nominator has apparently made a superficial attempt to read the article,  mandates a far more thorough review of potential sources available outside of the article that might establish notability, a step that the nominator has failed to perform. Per , '''"A. Read and understand these policies and guidelines; B. Carry out these checks; C. Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted; and, D. Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability"''' It seems that all four mandated steps have not been followed here
