Small town mayor who fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Half of the sources in this article are primary, one doesn't even mention him. The rest is routine coverage of failed primary campaigns. GPL93 (talk) 17:00, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment Mayor of Española, New Mexico, 2010 population of 10,495. Served as President of the New Mexico Municipal League, President of the National League of Cities Hispanic Elected Local Officials, and on the board of the National League of Cities. --Enos733 (talk) 02:49, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mayors of small towns are not automatically deemed notable just because they exist, but this is referenced nowhere close to well enough to get him over WP:NPOL #2 as the subject of significant press coverage — and serving as a president or a board member of an organization is still not an automatic inclusion freebie that exempts him from having to get over NPOL #2 on media coverage. To get him over the bar for those other reasons in lieu of his mayoralty itself, you still have to be able to source them to media coverage about his work in those roles, not just to his staff profiles on the organizations' own self-published websites about themselves.

 * Delete I was unable to find any nationalized coverage of the subject that would make the subject more notable than most small town mayors. Thought there might be something about his presidency of the New Mexico Municipal League or the National League of Cities Hispanic Elected Local Officials, but found nothing except for confirmation the subject served in those positions. --Enos733 (talk) 04:36, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
