  • Comment: Same issue as before. Sources should be independent and you need more than just routine coverage- so the election database and the additional government sources don't really help. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 19:18, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Several of the sources are either from the municipality's own website or are sources which discuss all municipalities in the region, neither of which are enough to establish the notability of the municipality. Try finding some independent, reliable sources to use as references before resubmitting. Turnagra (talk) 23:13, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
