Delete. Mayors don't get an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL just because they exist; the notability of a mayor hinges on being able to write and reliably source a substantive article about his political significance: specific things he did in the mayor's chair, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his mayoralty had on the development of the town, and on and so forth. But there's nothing like that here — and for added bonus, the town has a population of just around 4K according to its article, and the mayors are not directly elected but are selected by annual rotation from within the city council, and that kind of mayor gets even less of a presumption of notability in the absence of sourcing than the elected kind.

Delete mayors of places with under 5,000 people are almost never notable for being mayor of the place, and nothing here suggests this person would be one of the very extremely rare exceptions to that rule.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:14, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
