Delete. Smalltown mayor, not referenced to a significant enough depth or range of reliable source coverage to make her more special than every other smalltown mayor. Of the seven footnotes here, two are primary sources that are not support for notability at all; one is Q&A interview on a blog in which she's talking about herself in the first person, and furthermore she isn't even the sole or primary subject of that source, but merely one of several people given short five-question Q&As in a listicle; one is merely a glancing mention of her name in an article whose primary subject is somebody else; and the other three are all just routine campaign coverage in the local media. (And no, the fact that one of the hits is from The New York Times is not an instant free pass to being more special than everybody else, either, because her smalltown is inside the NYT's local coverage area.) Smalltown mayors are also not automatically special just because they're lesbians, either: people are not "inherently" notable just because they happen to be members of underrepresented equity groups, but still have to clear our notability standards the same way as everybody else.

Delete The place she is mayor of is maybe the 3rd largest borough in the county, with at least one township in the county having about 4 times as many people. We have coverage from her college paper, nothing rising to the level of notability. If every mayor who had received this level of coverage was notable, we would have articles on virtually every mayor ever.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:53, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I see nothing notable here. Bearcat's analysis is apt. Ikjbagl (talk) 05:02, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
