Anthony Russo (mayor)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Russo's closest claim to notability is serving as mayor of Hoboken. This is neither a city of regional enough importance nor of enough population to make the mayor notable by default. John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:26, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep the article meets the general notability guideline. I am not sure what the population size has to do with notability. Coverage of the corruption charges is in the New York Times. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 19:25, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep as notable mayor; regardless of population of the city. Comes under "local politicians" with significant coverage. Billy Hathorn (talk) 17:16, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:BASIC. Significant coverage includes and, the latter containing a prescient analysis of the risks of corruption posed by such a powerful chief executive position as Russo's. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 23:09, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep As a major local political leader, with ample coverage in reliable and verifiable sources to establish notability, including extensive coverage of corruption charges. Despite its size, Hoboken punches far above its weight, making it a regionally important city, as evidenced here and in the article for the present mayor, Dawn Zimmer. The nominator appears to have prejudged this AfD based on the city's size and has made no mention or taken any consideration of the availability or quality of reliable and verifiable sources or of alternative solutions as explicitly required by WP:BEFORE. Alansohn (talk) 01:55, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep In the NYC metro region, Hoboken is an extremely important city, for political, transportation, residential and cultural reasons. Its importance to the region is not proportional to its population. Liz  Read! Talk! 13:52, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mayor of a city of 50,000 people. Just not notable enough. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:27, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
