Kevin Falconer

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable politician. Mayor of a small city in Texas, the state's 26th-most populous based on 2018 estimates does not meet WP:NPOL. Sourcing required to establish WP:GNG does not seem to exist. There are news sources that mention his name, but they do not cover him in depth. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:10, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. The coverage appears to be routine, and I am unable to find any additional sources to satisfy WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. -- Kinu t/c 17:23, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Carrollton is certainly a large enough city that a well-sourced and substantive article about a mayor could be kept, but it is not so large that the "need" to have articles about its mayors would justify their being sourced like this: six of the seven footnotes are primary sources that do not constitute support for notability at all, and the only one that's a reliable media source is simply routine reportage of the municipal election results. The notability test for a mayor is the ability to write and source a substantive article about his political career, not the ability to provide the names of his wife and kids.

 * Delete with Carrollton having 120,000 people or more its mayor could be notable (which I would not say for Metcuchen, New Jerrsey, another place the article on the mayor is up for deletion), however we need better sourcing to demonstrated that Falconer is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:21, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
