Does not pass WP:NPOL being a mayor of a town with only a five-digit population. Most of the other bios of mayors of the same town (all created by the same person) have already been deleted at AFD. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 21:42, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Per reasons cited, I will add that the creator has made 100s of similar articles, some of which contain copyvios. The more deleted, the better. Thank you for nominating this, as it will make cleaning up his mess easier.💵Money💵emoji💵💸 11:26, 1 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. Pineville LA is not large enough to automatically confer notability on its mayors just for being mayors per se, but the article is not reliably sourced well enough to actually get him over WP:NPOL #2 as the subject of significant press coverage: there's a lot of primary sourcing that is irrelevant to establishing notability at all, and even the stuff that is reliable source media coverage is still split mainly between glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things or people and the routinely expected local reporting of local mayoral election results. The notability test for a smalltown mayor requires evidence of much wider, deeper and/or more coverage than just the bare minimum needed to offer technical verification that he exists.

 * Delete fails WP:GNG. It was created along with a slate of other articles by a long since discredited editor. Local coverage of a mayor of such a small city is just not notable in the slightest. Newshunter12 (talk) 04:40, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
