WP:BLP, resting on a single primary source with no evidence of reliable source coverage shown at all, of a person notable primarily as the mayor of a municipality with a population of just 5K. This is not large enough for a mayor to get an automatic WP:NPOL pass — a smalltown mayor can still get into Wikipedia if there's enough sourcing and substance to satisfy WP:GNG, but does not get to claim a "keep because mayor" inclusion freebie just because he exists.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - nomination says it all. Mayor of a small community, and partly based on his re-election site, too.   PK  T (alk)  20:24, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete – Small town mayor. Doesn't seem to be enough coverage of him to meet WP:GNG. Graham (talk) 05:51, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
