Does not meet WP:POLITICIAN or WP:ACADEMIC notability guidelines. Last discussion resulted in no consensus, but only trivial mentions of Gilmore were found in the media. Rusf10 (talk) 01:58, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Smalltown mayors and municipal prosecutors are not automatically notable just because they exist — but this does not make any credible claim that he has preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him into Wikipedia independently of holding local political office, and it does not feature the depth or volume of reliable source coverage it would take to make his service in local politics more notable than everybody else's. The overwhelming majority of the footnotes here are primary sources (press releases from directly affiliated organizations, etc.) which are not support for notability at all, and the few that are actually real media coverage are not sufficient to make him more special than every other smalltown mayor who exists.

 * Delete He is not significant. Yes, the place he was mayor of technically has the most population of any place in the county, but population does not equal importance. It is still a place of lesser importance than the less populalous Tenton, New Jersey, and is basically just a suburb within the greater Philadephia area. Mere population is not the key to a place being regionally significant, and Mercer township is not regionally significant enough to make its mayor default notable, and without default notability we do not have enough sourcing here to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:33, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
