Résumé-like biography of a civil servant and former politician, not properly referenced as having a strong claim to passing WP:NPOL. Neither mayors nor CEOs of hospitals are "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to be shown to have sufficient reliable source coverage and analysis about their work to pass WP:GNG for it -- but the referencing here is not adequate, consisting of two primary sources that are not support for notability at all, alongside a tiny smattering of "former mayor announced as appointee to hospital job" in the local media, with absolutely no coverage analyzing his mayoralty itself, or his work in the hospital job, shown at all. The article further makes a considerable number of completely unsourced claims that were added by an editor with an apparent conflict of interest as their username is highly suggestive of being one of the subject's daughters.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced considerably better than this. Bearcat (talk) 20:22, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Fails WP:NPOL #2 and reads like a resume. As Bearcat mentioned, there's not really a significant claim to notability here except for just being a mayor of a city. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:49, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
