Smalltown (pop 8K) mayor who doesn't pass WP:NPOL on that basis, and isn't well-sourced enough to get past WP:GNG either. Full disclosure: I created this, at a very different time in Wikipedia's evolution — in 2006, even towns of this modest size could claim notability for their mayors, and you didn't actually need to cite much reliable source coverage as long as the town's website verified that the mayor existed. But those aren't the standards that apply in 2014, so this can't be kept in this state. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 01:32, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I agree with Bearcat's asssessment. Even the external link is dead, although Alan Spacek is still mayor, at least through December 2014, and he is running again for mayor, election day October 27, 2014. No significant coverage. --Bejnar (talk) 22:15, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
