The title "City of Melbourne councillor" isn't what it sounds like — the City of Melbourne is the local government area (what readers in Canada, the United States or the UK would understand as a ''borough'' councillor ''below'' the level of the entire city) for ''downtown'' Melbourne, not the governing body of Melbourne as a whole. So he's not a "city councillor in a global city" for the purposes of , he's a person who would have to pass the "highly sourceable as much more notable than the norm for his level of significance" test. And being a non-winning candidate in a federal election is not a notability criterion either, so that's not in and of itself enough to get him over the special case bar. As for the argument in the AWNB thread that his candidacy was itself a special case of greater notability than most other candidates, even that condition isn't passed just because somebody asserts it — it's passed only if and when the ''sources'' properly support it by exploding significantly ''out'' of proportion to what every other non-winning candidate can also show. But with just two media sources and a raw table of election results, that's not nearly enough sourcing to get him there. No prejudice against recreation after election day 2019 if he wins his seat, but nothing present here is convincing evidence that he's already notable enough today
