 * Delete per WP:POLITICIAN, being an unsuccessful candidate for office is not grounds for notability. Similarly Mayor of a small town (34k) would only be notable if they had been covered in reliable secondary sources and a search doesn't turn up anything. Valenciano (talk) 20:11, 5 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN as a small city mayor and unsuccessful Congressional candidate. Description of legal issue presents WP:BLP concerns. No other claim to notability is made.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  00:15, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, does not meet criteria of Notability (people). I don't see any sources that support beyond than his terms as mayor and run for congress. -- Donald Albury 12:23, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
