Rich Tran

Biography of a living person that does not satisfy general notability or political notability. The one reference states that he was elected mayor of the town. It is a reliable source, but is not an independent source, and does not provide significant coverage. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:52, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I added an independent source regarding the elected individual. GrayEquinox951 (talk) 20:05, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There are a couple of articles covering a brief run for state assembly ([1], [2]), but he did not make it onto the ballot for the actual election. All other coverage appears local in nature. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:19, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Smalltown mayors are not automatically notable just because they exist as mayors, and one independent source that simply verifies the fact of their election as mayor is not sufficient coverage to get them in the door. Making a mayor notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia is not accomplished just by minimally verifying that they exist — it's accomplished by writing a substantive article sourced to a lot of reliable source coverage that deep dives into their political significance: specific things they did in the mayor's chair, specific projects they spearheaded, specific effects their mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But that's not what this article is. Bearcat (talk) 03:45, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom., Presidentman, and Bearcat. Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Sal2100 (talk) 16:50, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:NPOL, as per Bearcat's reasoning. MrsSnoozyTurtle 01:15, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
