- Delete mayors of places the size of Greenville then, or even Greenville now (it has grown about 12,000 in the 40 or so years since he was mayor), are not default notable, and the sourcing is not enough to show notability, and being a backer of a presidential candidate at the level he was is not a show of notability either.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:28, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - no case made for notability; small-city mayors definitely don't meet any of our criteria unless they do something (for good or ill) of national or global interest. --Orange Mike | Talk 23:46, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Mayors are not automatically notable just because they existed as mayors, but this article features nothing like the depth of substance or sourcing it would take to actually get him over the bar. Bearcat (talk) 17:59, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails WP:NPOL as a small-town mayor. KidAd • SPEAK 18:17, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
