A short-serving mayor of a fairly small city. Fails WP:NPOL as not being a "major local political figure who has received significant press coverage". Coverage almost exclusively related to two incidents, one in which she accused another politician of swearing at her, another in which her husband was arrested in a domestic incident.

Delete. Mayors are not "inherently" notable just because they exist, but this isn't referenced to the depth of coverage about her that it would take to get her over WP:NPOL #2. We need to see content about her political impact — specific things she did as mayor, specific projects she spearheaded as mayor, specific effects her mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth — but essentially the only content of that type here relates to a single incident of accusing the state governor of swearing at her, which doesn't rise to the level of what we're looking for. Obviously no prejudice against recreation if somebody can actually write something more substantive than this, but what's here now isn't enough in and of itself, and Cheyenne isn't nearly large enough to extend a presumption of notability to an inadequate article about its mayor.
