 * Keep Pocatello is 51,000 population, and we almost always keep mayors for small cities of that size (from memory of recent AfDs, the cutoff seems to be somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 -- in the absence of special considerations of course. In Pocatello has a newspaper, there ought to be considerably more information available. Even if it does not, there will be the election returns.    DGG ( talk ) 02:45, 31 December 2009 (UTC).
 * Redirect to Pocatello, Idaho as there is only one information about him, that he is the mayor of this city. Armbrust (talk) 13:30, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I followed my own advice, and actually looked in G News Archive. I added his occupation, and the vote tally, There's more where that came from, and I leave it as an exercise for those who were so sure there would be nothing that they did not bother to look before nominating or !voting. Time to require WP:BEFORE,to eliminate the wrongly nominated articles at AfD, so we have time to better consider the many that do need to be deleted.   DGG ( talk ) 20:20, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect, as I recall WP:OUTCOMES, people whose only News hits are a mention in an article entitled "Group raises money for dogs held at Pocatello Animal Shelter" and his appearance in a caption of a photo in local news of his election aren't notable. And the cutoff was 50,000. Abductive  (reasoning) 05:32, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The subject passes WP:GNG. See this article from KPVI and this article from KIFI-TV. Cunard (talk) 09:57, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
