Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Bailey (Irish politician)
While no-one in their right mind wants to see individual articles for each and every county & city councillor from Ireland, I'm afraid that, according to wikipedia policy , the poster above is correct in saying that he meets  notability criteria by belonging to the sub-national first tier of governance in Ireland. That is: "People who have held international, national or Table of administrative country subdivisions by country|first-level sub-national political office, including members of a legislature and judges". In Ireland, city and county councils form the first level sub national tier in Ireland. Therefore members of the 29 city and county councils in Ireland '''do''' meet  criteria and Bailey is a member of one of these councils (Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council). God help us. Bailey should probably met notability criteria anyway. His coveage in national print media is substantial.  —Preceding
