The result was Delete. @131.118.229.17, just pointing to a policy without an explanation of reasoning is a deletion argument to avoid. czar ⨹ 00:26, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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 unless the article sees significant improvement. Bearcat (talk) 00:48, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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 — Comm_Master (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 21:49, 25 November 2014 (UTC).[reply]
