Not sure how acting mayors fall into Wiki standards. But also this has the problem of the external link being a dead link as well. This guy does not seem to fit it from what I can tell. Wgolf (talk) 23:04, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment-Now let me add a couple of things-about the dead links-I've been finding a bunch as of late but none of them have actually made me start an AFD until now. Also I was iffy on this but since I've seen mayors of small towns get tagged this was a good question that came to me. Wgolf (talk) 23:06, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Mayors of small towns are not automatically notable, especially when the article has no sources. 131.118.229.17 (talk) 23:52, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Well, Nablus is large enough (128K) that its mayors would generally be considered to pass WP:NPOL — and while we'd exclude someone who was acting mayor of a city for a matter of days (e.g. Joe Swan in London, Ontario earlier this year) from being considered permanently notable on that basis, a person who was acting mayor for the better part of an entire year might, maybe, have actually accomplished a thing or two of substance. So the word "acting" is, in and of itself, irrelevant to whether he's notable enough or not — the real knockdown here, however, is the complete lack of any reliable sourcing to verify whether there's any substantive reason why he should have an article. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can write a substantive article that actually cites sources, but this version's a delete. Bearcat (talk) 07:10, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
