WP:BLP of a person whose only substantive claim of notability is as the mayor of a small (pop. 3K) town. This is not a claim of notability that satisfies WP:NPOL — mayors aren't generally presumed notable just for being mayors unless the place is significantly larger and more prominent than this (the unofficial standard that holds sway at AFD is a population near or above 50K), and with the article relying entirely on a single source this is nowhere near passing WP:GNG instead. Further, he was first elected in 2008 but in that entire time the article has never been expanded beyond a single sentence asserting his existence and the total number of votes that he garnered in that election. So it's not just the sourcing that's lacking — there's barely even any actual content here, either. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 20:30, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am unable to find significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. The only coverage I can find are mentions or just his statements being published. Davewild (talk) 07:16, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete I couldn't find any sources to convince me that the subject is notable, nor that he meets criterion 2 (notable local government figures) of WP:POLITICIAN. Helenabella (Talk) 08:31, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
