 * For the record, I was the original creator of this article. At the time I created it, he was slated to take office as mayor — and WP:POLITICIAN does specify that "first LGBT mayor of a town or city" is a legitimate claim of notability — but then later went on to resign his city council seat before actually acceding to the mayoralty. So, long story short, there was a legitimate reason to create this at the time, but due to a subsequent change of circumstances there's no longer a particularly strong reason to justify keeping it now — and thus I'll agree with the delete. Also, the reason his husband is a redirect is that he also had a separate article at one time, but it didn't make a particularly strong claim of notability (as opposed to mere existence) and nearly all of its references discussed him specifically in the context of being Niedwiecki's partner. So yes, that should also be deleted. Bearcat (talk) 17:34, 4 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge to Fight OUT Loud, the group is notable whereas this is borderline. I think he may even inch over a bit as I keep finding sources on him but they mostly tie to his activities with the group. His husband's should redirect there as well. Insomesia (talk) 01:55, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Merge to Fight OUT Loud (presuming that article survives its own AFD), per Insomesia above. I think he falls just short of our notability guidelines for politicians, but the organisation he founded is notable, so he can be covered as part of that article.
