County councillor is not a level of office that confers an automatic free pass over NPOL #2 just because the person exists, and his candidacy in a Dail by-election is not grounds for a Wikipedia article either — he would have to ''win'' the by-election to collect notability from the by-election. But the referencing here is a mix of |primary and unreliable sources (e.g. profiles on the self-published and directly affiliated websites of the county council and his political party, podcasts, blogs) that are not support for notability at all; purely routine local coverage of the type that every local councillor everywhere is simply ''expected'' to get in the local media, which is not enough to make him a special case of greater notability than most other county councillors; and glancing namechecks of his existence in sources that are not fundamentally ''about him''. Obviously this will be recreatable after election day if he wins the national by-election, since his basis for notability will have changed, but this is not the kind of sourcing it takes to make a local councillor or an as yet unelected by-election candidate already notable enough for an article today
