WP:BLP of a person notable only as mayor of a town not large enough to hand its mayors an automatic presumption of notability per WP:NPOL. He could still qualify for an article if it could be sourced well enough to satisfy the "who have received significant press coverage" part of our criteria for local officeholders, but the only references here are two primary sources and a single "candidate positions on the issues" questionnaire of the type that every candidate in a local election gets -- which means that none of the sources here are building a strong case for inclusion. Also, conflict of interest as the original creator was User:Mark chilton. Bearcat (talk) 17:17, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Mayors of cities of this size (20,000 people) are not usually considered to be inherently notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:21, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
