 * Keep Found some of the references 1 2 3  sami  talk 08:30, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for finding them. But look some sources will exist but most likely in vanity press or tabloid journalism and this is the case clearly here. If you consider WP:10YT test, you will see no one will care who was mayor of this local district. You can see WP:NPOL which clearly says, a politician will be notable only if he is an elected member of the parliment or a mayor of a 'major city', not a local town or a district. Thanks.

 * Delete. Borough mayors in England are selected on a yearly rotation among the councillors, so that basically the most senior person on the council who hasn't been mayor yet (or has gone the longest time since his or her first stint) automatically gets the post for a year — but Wikipedia does not extend a presumption of notability to that sort of mayor, but only considers directly-elected executive mayors notable as a rule. And any mayor of anywhere can always simply be expected to receive in coverage in his or her local media, so simply being able to show two or three local media hits doesn't cut it as a "keep anyway because GNG" argument. Nothing here, either in the substance or the sourcing on offer, is enough. Bearcat (talk) 05:34, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete this position is more like head of a city council in the US, even the mayor of my city of Sterling Heights, Michigan is directly elected, although he is a figure head since the city is run by the city manager. We deleted an article on the person who was mayor for about 20-years until his death. While the borough here is about four times as big as Sterling Heights, the rotating mayorship for one year is just not enough for notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:51, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
