Pointless and poorly referenced list of entirely non-notable people. This doesn't list all, or even most, mayors that this town has ever had -- the town was incorporated in 1858, which means it's had mayors for 163 years, but this list only names a random selection of six of them and sources just two of those six, and the sources are a self-published resolution on the city's own website, a user-generated and unreliable family genealogy, and a local history book authored by one of the mayors. This is also a small town with a population of just 8K now, which means its mayors get no "inherent" notability freebies just for existing as mayors -- and as for how well-maintained the article is, the "current" mayor named here isn't even the actual incumbent anymore. So there's really no point in maintaining a woefully incomplete and badly-sourced list of people who wouldn't qualify for Wikipedia articles anyway.

Delete per nom. The creator of this article apparently didn't have access to any reliable source that listed all the mayors of this town. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:17, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per nom. A town of 8,000 people does not need an entire article about it's mayors. JayJay^{What did I do?} 21:33, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
