WP:BLP of a mayor, citing only one passing namecheck in somebody else's (deadlinked) obituary for sourcing. The municipality in question has a large enough population that its mayors might qualify for properly written and well-sourced articles, but as a relatively rural municipality on the outer edges of a metropolitan area it's not entitled to an automatic presumption of notability for all of its mayors — if this is all you can write and source about him, then it's simply not good enough to qualify him for inclusion.

Delete. I could only find the odd passing mentions (and the occasional slightly-more-than-passing-mention) on hyperlocal news sites; certainly nothing of the level required by the general notability guideline and the specific guideline for politicians.

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

Delete Doesn't meet the GNG or WP:NPOL. 131.118.229.17 (talk) 21:37, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with Bearcat. It can be a potential article but not enough information was provided.
