Arielle Kayabaga

I undid your edit to create a link to Arielle Kayabaga in the London, Ontario article. You've kind of got the process backwards - first establish an article for the person to establish her notability - THEN create links to the article. PKT(alk) 11:23, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

You'll also need to be aware that city councillors in places that are not in the global city class (Toronto, Montreal, New York City, Chicago, etc.) are not automatically deemed notable just for existing. In order to establish that Arielle Kayabaga is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article at all, you will have to show her as being much, much more prominent than most other city councillors, such as by showing that she receives nationalized coverage far, far beyond just London's local media. I'm not seeing any evidence that she does, but that is the standard you would have to meet to get a city councillor in London ON considered notable enough to have an article on here.
