George B. Mowad

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NPOL. While he served 20 years as the mayor of a town, its population was less than 8,000. None of the sources used (election returns, obituaries, passing mentions, etc.) in the article establish that Mowad or his tenure as mayor of Oakdale are particularly notable GPL93 (talk) 18:40, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Oakdale, Louisiana is not large enough to confer an automatic notability freebie on its mayors just for existing as mayors, but in the classic manner of Just You Guess Who, this is referenced almost entirely to primary sources and tangential verification of stray facts about other people, not to any strong evidence of reliable source coverage about Mowad.

 * Delete Fails WP:NPOL....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:54, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with Bearcat that Oakdale is too small for its mayor to be automatically notable, and he does not seem to be notable for any other reason. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:24, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:NPOL and the references are all tangential or obituaries. SportingFlyer  T · C  20:11, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete mayors of places with less than 10,000 people are almost never notable for such.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:28, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
