Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frank Finnerty (2nd nomination)
I agree 100%. There is no claim that he is notable "just because" he's an elected official. At the top of the  list on  where you pulled the "just because" clause, is a statement that '''"This list is only a guideline, and should not be used an absolute test of notability; each article should stand or fall on its own merits."''' The claim that this individual is notable is based on the fact that there are nearly a dozen independent, reliable and verifiable sources all of which demonstrate notability. The claim stands proven
