Biography of a former mayor in a small city. The city (pop. 55K now, pop. God-Only-Knows when he was mayor 112 years ago) is not large enough to hand its mayors an automatic presumption of notability just for existing, but the article isn't sourced well enough to get him over the "who have received significant press coverage" condition in NPOL #2 -- the only sources here are a list of the past mayors on the city's own website, and his entry at Find-a-Grave, neither of which make a smalltown mayor notable in and of themselves.

 * Delete It is actually easy to find out the population of Noblesville when Dulin was mayor. Like most other Wikipedia articles on cities in the US, the article on Noblesville includes a chart showing its population at various censuses going back to the first census that reported that place. A few even include similar entities that pre-date the current one. Anyway Noblesville had 4,700 people in 1900 and just over 5,000 people in 1910. It would be extreme inclusionism to have an article on someone who served as mayor of a city of this size for only one year.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:23, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NPOL is clearly not met, and there aren't references (regarding his business career or anything else) to meet WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 01:47, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
