Delete. Mayors aren't entitled to an automatic presumption of notability just because it's possible to offer technical verification that they exist(ed) as mayors; the notability test for a mayor hinges on the ability to write and source some genuine substance about his political impact: specific things he did, specific effects he had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. Mayors also aren't notable just for being unsuccessful candidates in party primaries for higher office, or for being arrested for drunk driving, so there's just nothing stated here that would establish his notability at all.

- I can think of few people who are notable for being arrested for drunk driving. We do have a current member of the Michigan State Legislature who clearly is, since he did so many crazy things when arrested, such as trying to claim he would defund the police for pulling him over if they just did not let him go, but since he is a member of the state legislature he is by our current rules already notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:37, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete mayors of places that are suburbs to bigger cities are rarely notable, and our sourcing here does not show that Maguire is one of those rare exceptions.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:34, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Mayor of Eagan, Minnesota. It is possible for a well-sourced article to be written as Bearcat describes. There is no obvious redirect target, such as a list of mayors from Eagan. --Enos733 (talk) 17:57, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
