 * Delete - Nothing to suggest notability from a web search (appreciate that not all sources for things can be found online, but if there is nothing standing out about a living person then it's a fair presumption that there's not a fat lot offline). Article appears to have been created with a COI anyway. Jeni  ( talk ) 17:32, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Mayors of places this size can meet WP:NPOL #3 if they can be substanced and sourced well enough to pass WP:GNG — but a city has to be considerably larger than 28K before a mayor gets an automatic presumption of notability just for existing. But the sourcing here isn't adequate, and there's no substantive content here beyond "he exists, he went to high school, he started a business, he became mayor, the end" — the substance necessary to get a mayor into Wikipedia would involve writing and sourcing content about things he did as the mayor, not unsourced background information about his personal life.
