As with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of alderpersons of Carrboro, North Carolina, comprehensive historical lists of town or city councillors in individual cities simply aren't a thing we do on here. A person wouldn't pass WP:NPOL for this role in and of itself, so it's mostly a list of non-notable people because normally the only way a person would actually have an article to link to is if they went on to hold office at the state or federal levels. And even places like New York City, where the city councillors are considered to pass NPOL because the city is so large and internationally prominent, still don't actually have lists like this. No prejudice against creation of an article about the city council itself, if one can be substanced and sourced, but a list of the past city councillors all the way back to the 1800s just isn't a thing we need.

- Delete if the individuals don't pass WP:NPOL in their own right, then their notability cannot inherited either from these types of list articles. Ajf773 ( talk) 18:29, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
