Mayor of a city with less than a half million population is not something that would be expected to have an article on English Wikipedia unless the subject meets GNG. Search doesn't produce any substantial information about the person so Can't see any significance, Saqib (talk) 12:41, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. The size of the city is not the problem here — in countries such as Canada or the United States, cities this size most certainly would be expected to have Wikipedia articles about their mayors. The problem, rather, is the lack of any reliable sources to support the article's content. I'm willing to reconsider this if some proper reliable source coverage is added before this discussion closes, but even a mayor of New York City wouldn't get to have an article if he somehow held the role without getting any media coverage for holding the role.

 * Keep I added several citations to verify the facts and made the article easier to read. I believe it should now satisfy WP:POLITICIAN. Lonehexagon (talk) 23:50, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * --I have a real fear that although you've a good ability to dig up sources, the manner in which you insert them in the concerned article is resemblant to promo-spamming.Please amend accordingly.Best, ~ Winged Blades Godric 03:54, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what you mean. I find information, put it in the article, and reference the source with a citation. Lonehexagon (talk) 04:12, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't see what the issue is. I'm not convinced this person is notable, but if someone without a COI attempts to find sources to make the information WP:V, they should be commended, not censured.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 14:23, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete-All the sources by Lonehexagon (which has strong resemblances to conducting a Google search and then throwing every G-hit into the article...... ) are routine trivial mentions about the subject, which mainly derives from the chair she holds. ~ Winged Blades Godric 18:01, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
