Very minor politician. Fails WP:BIO. red dogsix (talk) 19:52, 18 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep Similar level of politicians such as Teresa Tomlinson, have articles on Wikipedia.--Nudgeboaty (talk) 22:23, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - Hardly the same, Teresa Tomlinson is the mayor of a major city (pop. 202,000+). Marino was a mayor of a city of only 5,000.  Regardless, this article needs to stand on its own merits.  Just because Tomlinson exists does not mean this article is notable.   red dogsix (talk) 22:59, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:GNG a small town, and just very little information Shad in Net 01:46, 19 June 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shad Innet (talk • contribs)
 * Delete: Mayor of a very small place, and the article makes no claims for notability. It says that he "worked on" some projects and that he accused "the chief" (of police?) of "verbal harassment." Is that a BLP issue? So, the article makes no claims as a biographical subject or as an office holder. Hithladaeus (talk) 02:59, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia does not extend an automatic notability freebie to all mayors just because they were mayors — mayors of major cities who can be sourced to major market media are certainly deemed to pass WP:NPOL, but mayors of small towns must pass WP:GNG on their own steam and do not get an automatic right to have a Wikipedia article just because they exist(ed). But this doesn't even approach the volume necessary to claim GNG — the sourcing pretty much just WP:REFBOMBs one single fact about his life with practically every single text hit that can be found on his name at all, including Blogspot blogs, primary sources, directory listings, news blurbs and smalltown newspapers which aren't distributed widely enough to demonstrate that he merits coverage in an international encyclopedia. That's not the type of sourcing that gets a person over the Wikipedia inclusion bar — nothing here constitutes or sources any reason why he should be considered more notable than any other smalltown mayor.
