 * Comment. While it's hard to find references for a 19th-century mayor, Newspapers.com has a few. See this search. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 17:35, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. As at Articles for deletion/Thomas P. Richardson, at the time this was first created in 2009 our notability rule was that mayors were "inherently" notable if the city they were mayor of had ever cracked 50K in population. That standard was deprecated several years ago, however: mayors are no longer "inherently" notable regardless of the city's size, but instead you must demonstrate their notability by actually writing and sourcing a substantive article that dives deeply into their political impact. Specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects he had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. In 2021, a mayor of a place much smaller than 50K can be kept if a genuinely substantial article can be written (see e.g. Marie Curtis), and a mayor of a place much larger than 50K can be deleted if it essentially just says "Andrews Breed was a mayor who existed, the end."
