There is, of course, local coverage, but I wasn't able to find sources indicating notability. A possible alternative to deletion is a redirect to East Providence, Rhode Island. toweli (talk) 13:29, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Can't find any non-independent sourcing showing that either his legal or political career was notable, and East Providence is not large enough to give inherited notability to mayors. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 04:05, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Appears to be little coverage of him beyond the routine and local. AusLondonder (talk) 16:54, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No coverage beyond local newspapers. HarukaAmaranth ^春 _香 12:13, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 21:31, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all of the above, and for two additional reasons. As a mayor of a city of 47,139, he fails my standards for mayor, and also my standards for attorneys. Bearian (talk) 21:21, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
