Carroll L. Hurd

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Hurd was mayor of St. Louis Park, Minnestota. A suburb of Minneapolish which had about 25,000 people when he became mayor. It would grow to about 43,000 people by 1960, but he was mayor for only a short time in the early 1950s. Mayors of places this size, and actually pretty much all mayors, are not default notable. The local history source and the "political graveyard source", neither would add to notability, I found a 1 line mention of him having retired in a general report of multiple mayoral changes at the time he left office and I found a photo of him in this issue of the Rotarian on a page with 63 photos. This is not the stuff notability is made of John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:48, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. Smalltown mayors are not automatically notable just because they exist, but this features neither the quality of sourcing nor the depth of substance needed to actually get Hurd over the bar that a mayor would have to clear. Bearcat (talk) 12:18, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
