Local coverage, which is to be expected, but fails WP:NPOL.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:48, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Midwest City OK is not large or important enough to confer an automatic presumption of notability on its mayors just for existing, but the article is not well sourced enough to make him a special case among a not inherently notable class of topic. A couple of local media hits is not enough in and of itself to get a smalltown mayor over WP:GNG, because every mayor of everywhere can always show a couple of local media hits — in a town or city this size, the key to making a mayor notable enough for a Wikipedia article is to show a volume, depth and/or geographic range of coverage that goes beyond the norm. And his predecessor has an article for being a state senator, not for being mayor per se, so the fact that he has an article does not reify into an inclusion freebie for this one either.

 * Delete Mayors are not automatically notable, I don't see substantive outside sourcing about him. Reywas92Talk 20:55, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Midland City had a population of about 54,000 during the 2010 census, which is on the small side for a presumption of notability for its mayors. While the mayor of Midland is independently elected, the subject's page shows he was selected by the council to serve the remainder of his predecessor's term. While there is some interest in the recall effort, the sourcing is primarily in local papers. --Enos733 (talk) 17:44, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
