Delete. WP:BLP of a former mayor in a city of about 60K. That's certainly large enough that a well-sourced article about a mayor could be kept, but it's not large enough that he gets an automatic presumption of notability just for existing, if the resulting article is this bad: the only reference cited here is a press release from a charitable organization about him participating in a fundraising event staged by that organization, thus making it a primary source that cannot support notability, and the article reads very much more like a PR blurb that could have been copied and pasted directly from his own campaign literature rather than an encyclopedia article. The Medicine Hat News is not archived in ProQuest's Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies database, so I can't do a repair job on this myself — I'm happy to withdraw this if somebody can locate enough coverage of him to source the article over WP:GNG, but it's not a keepable article in this state of substance and sourcing.
