WP:BLP of a smalltown mayor and government appointee to unelected bureaucratic roles, not properly sourced as having a strong claim to notability for either of those things. As always, neither mayors nor civil servants get automatic notability freebies just for existing, but rather a person in either of those roles has to be shown to pass WP:GNG on her sourcing to earn inclusion in Wikipedia -- but the referencing here isn't cutting it in terms of getting her over GNG. Four of the eight footnotes are primary sources that aren't support for notability at all (her own self-published staff profile on the website of a past employer and a Q&A interview with one of her own colleagues on the website of a university) -- and of the four footnotes that are media coverage, one is just reduplicated repetition of one of the others, one just glances off her existence in an article that isn't about her in any non-trivial sense, and one is essentially just run of the mill local coverage in the local media where coverage of local mayors is simply expected to exist. So only one footnote here is actually building notability in any meaningful sense, and that's not enough. Bearcat (talk) 14:59, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. No evidence of notability. Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Sal2100 (talk) 19:04, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, fails GNG. Passing mentions do not contribute towards notability.  𓃦 LunaEatsTuna  (💬) 15:37, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
