PROD contested with the rationale "Former Mayor of City with a population of 85,000. Of historical significance to the area.".

Non-notable mayor of a small city. Fails WP:NPOL; newspapers.com has some local news coverage, but nothing that really provides WP:SIGCOV beyond WP:LOCAL, so also fails WP:GNG. Curbon7 (talk) 03:13, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Previously nominated via WP:PROD, ineligible for soft deletion.
 * Delete. While Bloomington MN appears to be large enough that a substantive and well-sourced article about a mayor could potentially be kept, it is not large or important enough that its mayors would simply be presumed notable just because you write and primary source a short blurb that barely goes any further than "she was a mayor who existed". The notability test for mayors is not passed simply by writing a few stray tidbits of biographical trivia; it is passed by writing and reliably sourcing (meaning media coverage, not the city's own self-published website about itself) a substantive article about her political impact: specific things she accomplished, specific projects she spearheaded, specific effects she had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But that's not what this article is. Bearcat (talk) 19:05, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. WP:NPOL requires that a local elected official meet WP:GNG, which this subject clearly fails. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 12:31, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete - Appears to fail WP:N. Gentleman wiki (talk) 17:37, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
