Fails notability: does not meet WP:BASIC or WP:NPOL as while there is major coverage in one secondary source, there is only coverage in one. See rationales presented at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frank Hibbard - routine coverage by a single local media entity wasn't enough there and it seems to not be enough here. Further, the article reads like a puff piece and has since its creation. PriusGod (talk) 17:42, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete per nom. The precedent set at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frank Hibbard is very relevant. I would also say that once all the promotional material is removed, there's not much left in the article anyway. Only a weak delete as there appears to be plenty of coverage, albeit in local sources and almost all is routine coverage. I would need more convincing that this meets WP:GNG.

Delete I find nothing outside of the St Petersburg Times, and one local source reporting on a local city mayor does not arise to GNG. I note that this fellow is back as an appointed, interim mayor of that same city (Clearwater), but again I'm not finding anything except routine news. The article is promotional and leaves off criticisms of him, also from the same newspaper. That said, his name appears almost daily in the local news (making it very hard to sift through for non-routine info). If another source of information about him is found this might be salvable, but the article would have to be re-written to be faithful to all sides of the story.
