Poorly sourced article of a small town mayor which fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. In my search for sources, I found a few brief mentions of him, about how he and his wife went on holiday (small town paper), a New York Times article about his indictment for malfeasance - though only two sentences long, and mentions in old newspapers. While those sources exist, they either cover him in the scope of his political career, or are trivial, and not enough to pass WP:GNG. SportingFlyer talk 04:49, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm not planning on updating the page and am slightly underwhelmed by the subject, so don't plan on !voting. I did look him up on newspapers.com, and found some coverage: in 1900 his Mayoral campaign got some brief coverage noting his wealth and status as a lumber baron and tile and brick company owner,[1] Here is a link to the aforementioned indictment report in the NY Times,[2] a hotel he was staying at was partially blown up in 1905,[3] and here is a link to an obit in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.[4] Smmurphy^(Talk) 17:25, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Cumberland MD is not large enough to hand all of its mayors an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL #2 just for existing, but this is sourced nowhere near well enough to actually get him over the bar. Bearcat (talk) 19:11, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
