Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Source #1 is unclear, a newspaper article? perhaps a obituary?? The link is dead. Source #2 has a one sentence mention of the subject is and is adequate to establish notability. Source #3 is a local history book, being that it is local does little to establish notability either. Rusf10 (talk) 02:35, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Ashland KY is nowhere near large enough to hand its mayors an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL #2 just for existing, but the article is not sourced anywhere close to well enough to actually get him over the bar. Bearcat (talk) 18:34, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This Ashland, Kentucky obsession clearly went overboard. Not every mayor of Ashland, Kentucky is notable, and no higher standard of notability would ever include Matthewson.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:06, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
