Poorly sourced article about a mayor of a midsized city. As always, the notability test for a mayor is not passed just by minimally verifying that he existed, and instead requires significant coverage and analysis in reliable sources with which we can write a substantial article about his political impact: specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his leadership had on the development of the city, and on and so forth.
But this just basically backgrounds a bit of biographical trivia before dispatching his entire political career with one sentence, and doesn't cite nearly enough sourcing to claim that he would pass WP:GNG or WP:NPOL -- and even his military background still isn't an instant inclusion freebie in the absence of sufficient sourcing to pass GNG.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have significantly better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 20:12, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Per nom. Not seeing a claim to notability outside of being the mayor of Burlington. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:53, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:NPOL for simply being a mayor and fails WP:BIO more broadly. LibStar (talk) 00:37, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
