nothing here shows notability Dunwoody has a population of under 50,000, andi dod not think this implies notability  DGG ( talk ) 23:50, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, was searching for him on WP the other day and he didn't have a page, so if he doesn't reach the notability threshold I guess delete. I figured because he was the founding mayor of the city it was more notable than if it was just the currently/any former mayor. Especially given his continued political involvement.

 * Delete. Strictly speaking, a population cutoff isn't the notability maker or breaker for a mayor in and of itself — mayors of places smaller than 50K can clear the notability bar sometimes, and mayors of places larger than 50K can fail it. Rather, the actual notability bar for mayors, regardless of the city's size, requires us to be able to write a reasonably substantive article about his mayoralty — specific things he did, specific projects he championed, and on and so forth — that's referenced to more than just a couple of pieces of routine campaign coverage in the community hyperlocals. And since people don't get articles just for being unsuccessful candidates in state legislature elections either, that doesn't help to boost his notability at all if it hasn't already been properly demonstrated at the mayoral level.
