Article about a mayor who served for a relatively short term, containing no secondary sources at all. Completely fails WP:BASIC. AusLondonder (talk) 11:44, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Nothing major seems to be popping up. There is some independent coverage, mostly referring to "former mayor has brain tumour",(1) and the Buccanner Commission named their new HQ after him - which seems slightly notable.(2). Given his period of service as Police Chief and Mayor was pre-2010, there's probably some stuff out there in newspapers.com but pre-dates reliable online coverage. That being said, it's going to be hyper-local coverage of hyper-local politics and I doubt it would pass GNG anyway. Hemmers (talk) 14:00, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better. Mayors aren't "inherently" entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they existed — the notability test for a mayor isn't passed by minimally verifying his existence, and requires you to write and source substantive content about his political impact: specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. This isn't even close to what's required. Bearcat (talk) 14:50, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No context for Stand alone article. I can't necessary say a mayor is that notable. Well, there are even no verifiable source! Fails WP: N All the Best! Otuọcha (talk) 09:31, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
