Non-notable mayor. I couldn't find any sources in WP:BEFORE to help improve the article. Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. SportingFlyer talk 21:44, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep major local politicans are notable. In addition to being mayor he was on the War Manpower Commission. I'm finding lots of coverage of his role on it and of his involvement in the building indistry although only snippets are available online. FloridaArmy (talk) 23:46, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Every mayor of everywhere is not handed an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL #2 just because he exists. The notability or non-notability of a local politician is not determined by his title alone, but by the depth of reliable source coverage about him that can or cannot be found to get him over WP:GNG for the holding of the title.

Delete Not notable local politician. There is a whole bunch of Melbourne mayor articles in need of AFDs....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 14:06, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete GNG doesn't appear to be met (and NPOL certainly is not); an obituary directory and the cities own list of mayors aren't close to enough; the contemporaneous newspaper articles I can't view but they don't seem likely to be substantial coverage of him, as opposed to mention of his position on a committee. To be clear, this is Melbourne, Florida, not the more notable Australian city. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:41, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Melbourne FL is not large enough to hand its mayors an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing, but the sourcing is nowhere near adequate to actually get him over NPOL #2 (where, as I explained above in response to somebody else's comment, the test is the degree sourceability that the person does or doesn't have, not the title itself.)

Delete If I am understanding, the war manpower comission had lots of local branches, and it was the local comission, not the US one that Vorkeller was on. Nothing adds up to notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:12, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
