Small city mayor fails notability standards Eeekster (talk) 02:33, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Perhaps by Eekster's standards, the new mayor of the city of Cabot is non-notable. It's debatable.  However, I note that this is the largest city in its county, and with a fast-growing population of over 30,000, it is a community of significance, and with a history of note.  Its mayors are notable, as are mayors of "small" but notable, regionally significant cities and similar cities worldwide. See WP:POLITICIAN for the relevant guideline.

 * A population of 30,000 isn't much of a city. Eeekster (talk) 22:21, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The city of Sonoma, California is one of California's oldest, most historic and most notable cities. Its population is just over 9000 people. Cities of 30,000 people are just as much cities as those of a million. Cullen328 (talk) 22:32, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. Only local coverage of his Jan. 2011 election (and not much of that). Clarityfiend (talk) 06:11, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Doesn't appear to satisfy the GNG, and he certainly doesn't satisfy POLITICIAN. Cabot does not qualify as a major metropolitan city: it's a suburb per its own article. I don't see much reason to believe that it is of "regional importance" either. The fact that the county line happens to be set such that it is the largest city in its county does not confer notability, especially as Arkansas has 75 counties. It's the 20th largest city in the state (again, per Cabot, Arkansas). Certainly, it looks like a fine place and no one disputes its status as a city, but its mayor is not inherently notable just for being mayor of Cabot, and I see no evidence that this particular mayor has generated substantial coverage of his own to confer notability.

 * Delete: Texas alone has over a hundred counties with a population of 10,000 or less; the notion that the mayor of a county seat is notable by that fact alone is farcical. "Community of significance" and "history of note" are purely subjective appellations.  Ravenswing  17:26, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
