WP:BLP of a person notable only as the mayor of a small town (pop. 12K) which is not large enough to confer an automatic WP:NPOL pass on its mayors. Further, the article as written consists solely of a single sentence asserting his existence, and rests on a single source which merely namechecks his existence in the process of actually being about something else — so this isn't sourced nearly well enough to claim WP:GNG instead.

 * Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN. The mayor of my hometown of 20,000 has far more coverage, but I will restrain myself and not write an article about him. The same principle applies here. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  06:20, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
