David Roberts (Mayor)
This is NN/Vanity wikipedia doesn&#8217;t need bio's on every municipal official ever elected in the US. Crazynas 02:36, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. He was a mayor of a reasonably-sized city.  RickK 05:17, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Current Mayor of a city of nearly 40,000 is notable enough for me. Dbiv 15:32, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep--local mayors are certainly notable, at least if the town is of decent size. This page could be very useful. Oh, and we could use articles on mayors of comparable note from anywhere--this is emphatically not a U.S. thing. Meelar (talk) 16:12, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep-- 61 hits for mayor "David Roberts" on Google news is minimally notable to me. Shimmin 17:30, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep--local mayors are notable.Gorrister 17:40, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Definite keep on this one. Elected local govt officials are worthy of note.--Gene_poole 23:38, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and Rename to David Roberts Klonimus 01:50, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as above. I'd recommend against a rename, as David Roberts is too common a name not to be the subject of future disambiguation. Let's be prepared for it. Mgm|(talk) 07:56, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * David Roberts already exists (as a Scottish painter) so that one should be renamed, and a disambig page added. Btw keep this mayor. Radiant_* 08:31, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. To my knowledge Wikipedia does not, at present, have a policy against having articles on local officials. Mayors of cities are inherently notable . 23skidoo 19:50, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
