Weak delete. Mayor of the 4th biggest city in Kansas... but mayors are not-auto-notable. WP:POLOUTCOMES says "Mayors of cities of at least regional prominence have usually survived AFD, although the article should say more than just "Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville". Mayors of smaller towns, however, are generally deemed not notable just for being mayors". Wellm is the 4th biggest city in Kansas a city of "at least regional prominence"? Debatable, but the current two-line stub and no indication of anything but local coverage/job blurb suggest there is nothing to warrant a separate article. My current suggestion is to ensure that the city he is a mayor in has a referenced list of mayors, and that's it - if all they'd get in their bio is 'he is a mayor... and he lives in his city', sorry, that's not enough. Ping me if better sources are found and more content can be added. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:34, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
