Biography of a person notable only as mayor of a town not large enough to hand its mayors an automatic presumption of notability per WP:NPOL. He could still have an article if it could be sourced well enough to satisfy the "who have received significant press coverage" part of our criteria for local officeholders, but the sources present here aren't showing that at all -- of the five references here, two are simple transcription lists of all the headstones in a local cemetery, one is a 40-word blurb on a genealogy website, and the other two are just brief namechecks of his existence in articles about the town rather than him. This does not constitute evidence that he's been the subject of enough reliable source coverage to support a Wikipedia article. Bearcat (talk) 17:25, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Mayors of cities of this size are not usually considered to be inherently notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:21, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
