WP:BLP of a municipal councillor, in a village not large enough to confer an automatic presumption of notability on its municipal councillors under WP:NPOL. This is not based on enough reliable sources to pass the "who have received significant press coverage" part of our criteria for local officeholders, either -- of the seven sources here, two are primary sources (his own self-published profiles on the websites of his own political party and his own law firm), one is a user-generated local community wiki and one is a local WordPress blog, and the three remaining media sources are purely WP:ROUTINE since every municipal councillor everywhere could always show three pieces of purely local coverage. At this level of government, what it takes to get an article is evidence that he's significantly more notable than the norm by virtue of having garnered significantly more coverage than village councillors routinely get, but nothing here is demonstrating any evidence of that.
