Totally unsourced article about a smalltown politician with no apparent assertion of notability except his local politics, and being a local mayor and councilman are insufficient for notability Nyttend 21:45, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. We don't even know what state Twinsburg is in! Sources? Where would one get reliable sources for this? Not notable. Sheesh. Realkyhick 01:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Well, I don't know if there are any other Twinsburgs in the USA — this is Ohio, a city of nearly twenty thousand people. I suppose we could check the city website, but that's all I can imagine, unless he's been quoted in the Akron paper.  Nyttend 01:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment According to Google news, he has been covered, to a fair degree, in the Akron Beacon Journal. Not sure if any of the articles would denote notability, or if it's enough. My gut says delete.Sethacus 01:27, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per extreme narrow scope of notability Corpx 03:46, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep as 12-year mayor of Twinsburg, Ohio, a small but notable city. Bearian 17:39, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment My father was once a member of the village council of Belle Center, Ohio, a small but notable village. Does that mean that he, too, is deserving of an article?  Nyttend 18:17, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Twinsburg, population 17,000. This isn't enough for a mayor to be notable--its a small suburb. The article asserts nothing specifically notable at all--nothing of even local municipal interest. And there are no references. I can't find a single thing in Google News using the search . Google itself has 26 ghits total. If even the local m[paper can find only a trivial number of quotes over 12 years, he's not notable. (But fwiw, Belle Center is only 5% that size, and council member is less notable than mayor).DGG (talk) 02:04, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
