Minimally sourced stub about a mayor in a mid-sized city, which just primary sources the fact that he exists and then jumps straight to a poorly contexualized and single-sourced (to a dead link) criminal allegation without actually providing any other information about him in between -- so it's posing major WP:BLP problems as well. While the city is large enough that a genuinely substantive and well-sourced article could be kept, it's not large or prominent enough that the need to maintain articles about its mayors would override how bad this article actually is. (As things currently stand, in fact, he's the only past or present mayor of the city who has a Wikipedia article without having gone on to hold higher office at the provincial or federal levels first — even his immediate predecessor didn't get an article until he became a federal MP in 2015.)
