WP:BLP of a smalltown mayor, not demonstrated as the subject of enough significant press coverage to clear WP:NPOL #2. As always, mayors are not automatically presumed notable just because they exist -- especially in small towns (pop. ~2K), the notability bar that the mayor has to clear is that they can be shown as significantly more notable than most other mayors of small towns, by virtue of writing and reliably sourcing a substantive article about her political importance. But this just documents that she exists, and is referenced to just three pieces of local coverage and a press release from her own political party, and that's not what it takes to make a smalltown mayor notable enough for inclusion.

Delete She is mayor of a place with less than 2,000 residents. If it had 10 times that many people it would still be a slam dunk deltion. If this article is kept it will open the flood gates to an uncontrolled number of articles on super hyper local political leaders.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:40, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This article ticks about every box required for deletion. She is a small (minute) town mayor and a local politician (Fails WP:POLITICIAN). She is not very notable and has not received enough press coverage, despite being a Green Party mayor. If she was the party's first or only mayor, that would've been an entirely different story. (Fails WP:GNG & WP:NPOL). LefcentrerightTalk (plz ping) 09:45, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as she has not received WP:SIGCOV outside her town, so does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BASIC, and she does not meet any WP:SNG. I did find some coverage in The Globe and Mail [1] (but that is quoting her on the topic of the article, not about her as a person/mayor,etc) and the CBC [2] (but that is not SIGCOV, it's really only one sentence about her).
