Non-notable mayor that was in office for only two years, not reliably sourced. Only reliable source I can find is a newspaper obituary which is far short of meeting WP:NPOL requirements. Rusf10 (talk) 20:04, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. A mayor of Bayonne could potentially be kept if the article were genuinely substantive and well-sourced, but it is not a large or important enough city to confer an automatic inclusion freebie on every mayor just because his existence is technically verified by an obituary.

 * Delete. Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Mayor of a small town. Just because he served as a mayor, does not warrant him an article. Lefcentreright  Talk  (plz ping) 20:26, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
