Bobby Irons[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Entirely unreferenced potential WP:BLP (if he's still alive.) A before search brought up only a few run-of-the-mill articles. (There's a television character with the same name.) Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. SportingFlyer talk 23:49, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Florence is a city of less than 50,000 people. I am less than convinced we should keep any article on a mayor with less than comprehensive coverage, but clearly with a city of this size we need something more than a source merely showing that Irons was in fact mayor.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:50, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Agree that this fails WP:GNG. -- Dane ^talk 01:56, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete fails WP:GNG and any coverage is going to have serious WP:BLP issues if kept. I found some cursory coverage of his political career by news organizations, but nothing substantial. Winner 42 Talk to me! 16:40, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails wp:NPOL as Irons has not held statewide office or higher. A google search yielded some coverage in independent, reliable sources, but all are in local media organizations (like WAFF (TV)) and unsubstantial. Zingarese (talk) 03:01, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
