Robert R. Williams (politician)

The result was speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn as sourcing located. Would be preferable if sourcing was added to new articles at creation. (non-admin closure)‎ AusLondonder (talk) 12:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC) [reply]

Biography of former mayor who served for two years in the 1930s and was subsequently unsuccessful in other elections. Sole source does not appear to be about him. Article has insufficient content to actually tell us anything about him and his career. AusLondonder (talk) 18:31, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: per WP:HEY. Former mayor of one of the U.S. largest cities. Decade long career in politics ending with charges, acquittal, and a recall election covered by the New York Times. I added a quite bit and there is plenty of potential for more expansion. TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 19:11, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep after the excellent improvement work by TulsaPoliticsFan. I agree I would have at least thought about nominating this for deletion pre-HEY but this is now a good article, and I don't think our exclusionary policy for mayors applies here. SportingFlyer T·C 00:29, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
