Comment - @Rusf10: apologies if I'm off base, but it looks like you've submitted a number of Ashland mayors in quick succession to Articles for discussion with fairly short nominating statements. Can you describe a bit your WP:BEFORE so that efforts to look up and better understand the encyclopedic suitability of the individual aren't overly duplicated. Smmurphy^(Talk) 17:40, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Smmurphy:Sure, no problem. I didn't include much in this nomination because there really isn't anything to include. My BEFORE search came up with nothing besides what is already in the article. The article uses four sources, one is a local history book and the other three are primary. Given the information in the article he doesn't seem to clear WP:POLITICIAN or WP:SOLDIER--Rusf10 (talk) 18:06, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I don't find an entry for Fisher in any of the Kentucky encyclopedias indexed on google books, (for instance [1], [2] and [3]), although some of the other mayors you nominated do have entries. I'll look at the others later, but I don't find much for Fisher beyond the History of Ashland dead-link which doesn't have snippets online. Smmurphy^(Talk) 19:20, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Ashland KY is not large enough to hand all of its mayors an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL #2 just for existing, but this is sourced nowhere near well enough to actually get him over the bar. Bearcat (talk) 19:10, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
