Fails WP:Notability (people) Holding the position of City Manager is not in itself an indication of notability. While the subject does have independent media coverage, it is for matters that are notable only in the Burbank area and the media appears to be local Burbank media. Declined PROD.

• Delete I find little evidence that this city manager is notable outside of the immediate area of Burbank. Safiel (talk) 19:30, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
• Delete, references establish local notability at most. Hairhorn (talk) 20:52, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

• Comment - WP:POLITICIAN does not say the media coverage has to be outside of the locality. NYyankees51 (talk) 00:47, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
• Reply - He's not a politician. -- Whpq (talk) 02:23, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

:*He may still fall under the guidlines for "politicians", however you interpret that word. However the guidelines also require "significant press coverage" for notability, and I don't see that here. Hairhorn (talk) 17:07, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

::*Reply - I interpret politician to mean an elected official for those jurisdictions that have a elections. A city manager is a city employee. Note that WP:DIPLOMATs have their own notability separate from politicians. -- Whpq (talk) 17:55, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

:::*eh? He's certainly not a diplomat.... it's all moot anyhow, it's not clear he even meets GNG. Hairhorn (talk) 04:18, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

::::*I should have been a little clearer. Diplomats clearly operate in the political sphere, yet are not covered by the guideline on politicians, but have their own guidelines, so why would a city manager fall into the guidelines for politicians? -- Whpq (talk) 10:59, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
