WP:BLP of a community weekly newspaper editor, referenced exclusively to the mastheads of the newspapers he edits (i.e. primary and non-independent sources that cannot support his notability) and not to any evidence of reliable source coverage about him. And on both Google and ProQuest, I get a lot of glancing namechecks of his existence, but the only coverage about him I can find exists in two specific contexts: his candidacy in a forthcoming mayoral election, which is not a notability criterion, and withdrawn decade-old criminal allegations of the type that would violate WP:PERP if we tried to make them the crux of his eligibility for an article (which they would have to be, because nothing else here is properly sourceable.) Basically, nothing here is a valid notability claim in the absence of valid sourcing for it. Bearcat (talk) 15:42, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Poorly sourced article with a promotional tone. Not enough evidence in my view to indicate significant notability. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 02:09, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
