Bill Robertson (Louisiana politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not pass WP:NPOL being a mayor of a town with only a five-digit population. Most of the other bios of mayors of the same town (all created by the same person) have already been deleted at AFD. Note that standards were different during the 2007 AFD. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 01:37, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:NPOL as a town mayor. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 08:24, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:NPOL and sources don't establish WP:GNG. Best, GPL93 (talk) 13:51, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete the population of this city hovered between 13,000 and 14,000 the whole time he was mayor. That is far too few people in this day and age to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:22, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Strong keep This is one of at least 3 nominations for deletion of Louisiana politicians. This one is particularly notable. He was mayor for over two decades and was a fixture of Minden, a moderately important town in northern Louisiana. There are plenty of notable citations, many of which are not online but on paper.

 * There's an article on David Orr, who was interim mayor for a few days. If we are to delete mayors, that is one. I have heard of "other crap exists" but we should compare articles to get a sense of what is deletable and what shouldn't be.
 * Orr was A) the interim Mayor of Chicago, America's third largest city; B) a county-wide elected official for a county of over 5,000,000 for 28 years; and C) active in Chicago politics as a elected official for 40 years. So not entirely sure how the two are comparable. Also, because politicians receive local press coverage naturally, the bar for what qualifies as significant coverage is higher for politicians.

 * Delete Does not pass NPOL, WP:REFBOMB does not have sources beyond local news. Reywas92Talk 01:37, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
