Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. Mayor of Eau Gallie, Florida in the early 1900s (population <500 at the time). Most of his news coverage consists of passing mentions in stories about the local yacht club, and per NPOL, simply being an elected local official does not automatically confer notability.

 * Delete Fails WP:NPOL....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:49, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Eau Gallie is not a large or important enough city to confer an automatic inclusion freebie on all of its mayors just because they existed as mayors, and this features neither the sourcing nor the substance necessary to actually get a mayor over WP:NPOL #2. The notability test for mayors is the ability to write and source genuine substance about their political significance, not just the ability to locate the names of their parents and spouses and business partners.

 * Delete a mayor of a non-notable place. For what it is worth the place he was mayor of has since been merged into a neighboring city.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:48, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Small town mayor with no significant or lasting independent media references. Not notable or newsworthy so deletion is appropriate in this case. Go4thProsper (talk) 07:47, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
