 * Delete mayors of places with less than 10,000 people are vitually never notable. No reason to find an exception in this case.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:50, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Doraville GA is not large enough to hand all of its mayors an automatic presumption of notability just for existing as mayors, and being the first LGBT mayor of his own small town (but not even close to the first LGBT mayor in the history of the United States as a whole) is not in and of itself a free pass to being more notable than most other mayors — "first member of an underrepresented equity group to do a not inherently notable thing" is not an instant notability clincher in the absence of nationalized attention, and we are not a venue for creating the "nationalized" media profile of a person who doesn't already have a nationalized media profile — but this is referenced to a mixture of primary sources that aren't support for notability at all and a small smattering of purely local election coverage. Smalltown mayors do not automatically get over NPOL #2 just because you can technically reference the fact of their election to local coverage of the election results themselves — the key to making a mayor notable enough for a Wikipedia article is to write and source something significant about his mayoralty (significant issues he championed from the mayor's chair, significant successes or failures in the mayor's chair, etc.), not just writing and sourcing a paragraph or two about his pre-mayoral biography.

 * Comment. I suggest that the article be redirected to Doraville, Georgia as an alternative to deletion. MarkZusab (talk) 13:28, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
