Biography of a former mayor of a small town that's since been subsumed as a city neighbourhood. The sourcing here is not approaching the depth of reliable source coverage it would take to get him over the "who have received significant press coverage" part of our criteria for local officeholders; the only sources shown here are both from the website of the neighbourhood's local historical society, not media coverage. There's simply nothing here that confers an automatic entitlement to a Wikipedia article in the absence of the reliable sourcing needed to carry a WP:GNG pass.

 * Delete not enough sourcing to meet WP:GNG, and they certainly don't meet WP:NPOL. Onel 5969  TT me 15:39, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
