 * Delete interim mayors are even less notable than regular mayors.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:27, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Bossier City is large enough that a mayor (interim or otherwise) might get over the bar if the article were really well-referenced, but it is not large enough to hand him an automatic inclusion freebie just because he existed as a mayor — and this is not really well-referenced, but depends two-thirds on primary sources and one-third on local media coverage that isn't even fully cited enough for us to even identify what it was. (Small-town city councillors, for example, have not received "significant press coverage" for the purposes of NPOL #2 just because you can reference their vote totals to a raw table of election results, which is what I suspect the Shreveport Journal citation might be given the context of what it's being used to footnote.)
