Does not meet WP:GNG. Also does not have significant press coverage as a local elected politician, meaning he doesn't meet WP:POLITICIAN. Ajshul 😃 (talk) 21:10, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Doesn't meet general notability guidelines. Rondolinda (talk) 23:36, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete mayors of cities with populations under 50,000 are rarely notable, especially when they are in the same country as a city with over 1 million with multiple other cities over 100,000 in the county.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:32, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: not enough coverage to pass general notability guidelines. TheDreamBoat (talk) 07:26, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Monrovia CA is not large enough to confer an automatic notability freebie on its mayors or city councillors just because it's technically possible to verify that they existed — to be eligible for inclusion in Wikipedia, he would have to either (a) have another, much stronger notability claim (e.g. having also been a state legislator at another time in his career) that would already have gotten him into Wikipedia anyway, or (b) be referenceable to a depth and volume and range of reliable source coverage that marks him out as much, much more special than most other smalltown mayors or city councillors. But neither of those are on offer here, so just minimally verifying that he existed as a local officeholder isn't a magic bullet. Bearcat (talk) 16:20, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
