John Hollar (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notable only for being the former mayor of a small town (albeit a state capital). A BEFORE search turned up only primary sources and some local news. Fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG. SportingFlyer  talk  04:56, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Montpelier is not large enough to hand its mayors a free WP:NPOL pass just for existing, but this is not well-sourced enough to make him a special case over and above most other smalltown mayors — the only references here are routine confirmation of his election victory and the initial announcement of his campaign, which are sources that every mayor of everywhere could always show. The fact that it's a state capital isn't an automatic inclusion freebie either, in the absence of much more solid sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 16:29, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:NPOL, WP:GNG. Note that if you've never been to Montpelier, you probably cannot imagine how small the town is.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:02, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete sources do not show he meets GNG and he fails NPOL. Dom from Paris (talk) 08:01, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
