 * Weak keep. In Connecticut towns, the "first selectman" is the equivalent of mayor. North Haven is a suburban town with slightly over 24,000 population in the 2010 census.  Is that significant enough to give him media visibility (i.e., independent sources)?  A glance at Google shows at least some news interviews and such. Kestenbaum (talk) 05:39, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. There is coverage in a range of local sources, including the North Haven Patch, Connecticut Post-Chronicle, and the Connecticut Citizens Publishing Group (can't get the links to work for that last one).  The lack of broader coverage is a bit disturbing, though.  Do the notability policies say any about local vs. national coverage?  Barring some policy I don't know about, this article seems to meet criterion #2 of WP:POLITICIAN, as a major local political figure who has received significant press coverage.  --Cerebellum (talk) 02:08, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
