Biggest claim to notability is as mayor of a town with a population of 12,000. Lacks press coverage. Article is essentially an unsourced resume. Mkativerata (talk) 20:55, 29 April 2010 (UTC) --Lincolnite (talk) 09:28, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Per nomination.  An unsourced biography of a living person.  Created by a user who has made no contributions since creating the article.  The photograph is also attributed the same user as photographer.  This has the appearance of a promotional bio created by a friend or colleague of Mr. Roberts. A search of google news archvies reveals only a handful of passing references to him.  Does not appear to have the requisite non-trivial coverage in mainstream media to meet notability req'ts.

 * Delete, mayors of cities of this size aren't notable by WP:POLITICIAN, and there's no demonstration that he's notable for any other reason. Nyttend (talk) 04:25, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, not only does he not meet WP:POLITICIAN but it's worth pointing out that the mayor of Solana Beach is not an executive elected by the voters. Per the city's website: "Solana Beach is a General Law City operated by a Council/Manager form of government. The City Council serves as a legislative body and consists of five Council members, one of whom is chosen to act as Mayor for a one-year term on a rotating basis."
 * Delete - per nom. Fails WP:POLITICIAN as names gets few ghits and reliable third sources. --Morenooso (talk) 04:53, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
