 * Delete Not at all enough sources to show notability. I want to commend the nominator for doing a great job at identifying the many non-notable New Jersey politicians we have articles on.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:09, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your support. I can't believe how many of these type of articles exist. I think both what Wikipedia includes and what it does not include makes it a great encyclopedia. I won't mention any names, but there is one editor here who is throwing a temper tantrum right now (attacking me, says I should be banned) because of some of my nominations. He seems to think that every person (not just politicians) in the state of New Jersey must have an article.--Rusf10 (talk) 06:44, 13 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. Sources aren't as scant as presented - these are available -      (Note that this Charles Paterno is not the Paterno of Paterno castle from NY). However a locally elected politician (which is what a mayor of a town of 7,000 is) needs to show significant coverage - which I do not think is the case here.Icewhiz (talk) 09:33, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. A borough with a population of just 7K is nowhere near large enough to hand all of its past mayors an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing, but this doesn't cite anywhere near enough reliable source coverage about him to deem him more notable than the norm.

 * Delete. This text lacks a lot of information and many facts are not verified. Also, it needs more citations to make it good. ^^VeryExultantCow^^ (talk) 21:36, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
