 * Comment. He's actually in the national news because of his firing of his city manager over his reopening of a golf course. Probably not enough. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:02, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Smalltown mayors are not automatically notable just because they exist — making a mayor notable enough for a Wikipedia article requires the ability to write a substantive article, referenced to a significant volume of reliable source coverage that makes him a lot more than just a temporarily newsy WP:BLP1E. But this article only just barely goes any further than stating that he exists while not even approaching the suburbs of the amount of substance it would take to make his existence as a mayor notable enough for Wikipedia, and just cites his and the city's own self-published web presence rather than any evidence of notability-supporting media coverage — and no, getting one brief blip of nationalized coverage for a single incident is not enough coverage to get him permanently over the bar. If he has no other nationalized media coverage outside that blip, then he's just a BLP1E. Bearcat (talk) 18:12, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Hicks is the mayor of a small town with a population of 9K. Pure local politician. Lefcentreright  Talk  (plz ping) 21:13, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete she is a mayor of a place with 9,000 people. Even if her city had ten times that population it would not be enough to make her default notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:17, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
