Bobby Irons

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Entirely unreferenced potential WP:BLP (if he's still alive.) A before search brought up only a few run-of-the-mill articles. (There's a television character with the same name.) Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. SportingFlyer  talk  23:49, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Florence is a city of less than 50,000 people. I am less than convinced we should keep any article on a mayor with less than comprehensive coverage, but clearly with a city of this size we need something more than a source merely showing that Irons was in fact mayor.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:50, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Agree that this fails WP:GNG. --  Dane talk  01:56, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:GNG and any coverage is going to have serious WP:BLP issues if kept. I found some cursory coverage of his political career by news organizations, but nothing substantial. Winner 42  Talk to me!  16:40, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete fails wp:NPOL as Irons has not held statewide office or higher. A google search yielded some coverage in independent, reliable sources, but all are in local media organizations (like WAFF (TV)) and unsubstantial. Zingarese (talk) 03:01, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
