 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

small-town mayor. Not notable and does not meet WP:POLITICIAN. As with any local politician, he received coverage from the local press, but that's not enough to meet the guideline. Rusf10 (talk) 02:32, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Coverage is local, and Metuchen, New Jersey's population was only 13K (in 2010), so being its mayor confers no particular notability. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:14, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete contrary to what some editors have thought there is not a special exception that makes New Jersey mayors default notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:13, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - unremarkable legal and political career. FWIW, the Diocese of Metuchen is quite large, but the city is smallish. Bearian (talk) 16:16, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Concede that the page should be parred back, but Busch is mentioned regularly in statewide and regional news outlets and qualifies as receiving "significant press coverage." Homerseditor (talk) 20:56, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete hasn't garnered anything more than routine coverage and doesn't pass WP:NPOL. Best, GPL93 (talk) 00:09, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete coverage is local, fails WP:NPOL, we do not keep mayors of small towns unless they pass WP:GNG for other reasons (otherwise notable, or achieved notability over an area significantly larger than their town.) SportingFlyer  T · C  07:21, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Just in New Jersey, there are numerous other pages for mayors that are no more notable than Busch. Took me two minutes to find four: James M. Cahill, Thomas Lankey, J. Christian Bollwage, Mohammed Hameeduddin. Homerseditor (talk) 15:40, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Homerseditor, you've already voted above, so I've struck your second !vote, though your comments are still welcome - but please also see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Some of these may also need to be deleted. SportingFlyer  T · C  17:03, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Lankey and Bollwage preside over populations over 100K (the unofficial cutoff), while Hameeduddin is a pioneer of sorts. I've nominated Cahill for deletion (despite his 28 years in office, and counting) due to a lack of significant media coverage. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:22, 13 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete not notable fails wp:npol from a city of less than 15,000. Lightburst (talk) 23:49, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
