Municipal politician fails WP:NPOL. Mayors of Burbank are not elected, but chosen by the city council. KidAd •  SPEAK  18:45, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete, per argument. Not even the mayor of the well known city of Santa Barbara, California has a Wikipedia page. Regards. JayzBox (talk) 02:18, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Burbank is a council-manager city where the mayoralty is a ceremonial position selected internally by the city council, and not an executive role directly elected by the voting public, so its mayors do not get an automatic notability freebie just for existing as mayors — but this article is not reliably sourced well enough to make her special, as it's referenced almost entirely to WP:PRIMARYSOURCES that are not support for notability at all.

 * Delete The coverage is not enough to justify a free standing article. In Burbank the mayor is only a title, not the actual head of the city government. We have established that non-head of government mayors in cities that are secondary within their metro area are not default notable and we need good sourcing to keep articles on them, which is lacking here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:53, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * One place where we established this precedent was the deletion of the article on Richard Notte. Notte was actually an elected mayor since Sterling Heights, Michigan directly elects the mayor, even though it has a council-manager form of government. Notte was also mayor for on the order of 20 years. Sterling Heights also has about 18,000 more inhabitants than Burbank.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:55, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
