Strong Delete. Nothing on him. Wikipedia is not a memorial. This article has not changed in any way since its 2013 inception. All I could find with a Legacy.com obituary, and Find my Grave and Legacy.com are not reliable sources. 👨x🐱 (talk) 03:14, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:GNG, all of the sources are genealogical websites and FindaGrave, which are not reliable. -Indy beetle (talk) 03:18, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
weak Delete he was the mayor of a major city, so saying this is just a WP:NOTMEMORIAL is a bit harsh. Still, there is not enough there to justify an article and should be listed under the history of the city. --hroest 18:27, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Melbourne FL is not a large or important enough city to confer an automatic presumption of notability on all of its mayors under WP:NPOL just because they existed, but this is not referenced anywhere near well enough to actually pass WP:NPOL #2.
