 * Delete - the article said he was incumbent mayor, but I've updated it with a reference showing he was replaced in 2014 (so he served 2 years). This is a job so minor that 800 people voted for his replacement, and there's no reference for his own election. A failed primary run doesn't confer notability by itself, and the mentions of him in the few independent sources for it doesn't come close to the "significant coverage" requirement of WP:BASIC. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 14:55, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Mayor of Uvalde, Texas, population 15,751 (2010). The subject's most notable claim is being a failed candidate for Texas Commissioner of Agriculture in 2014. Generally, our community expects nationalized (or international) coverage of a local mayor or candidate (well beyond the usual) to pass WP:NPOL. --Enos733 (talk) 19:41, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
