Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG — former mayor of Mandeville, Louisiana (population ~11k), whose local coverage was mostly limited to quotes about various city events. The city named a (non-notable) small community center after him, but that does not meet WP:ANYBIO's threshold of "a well-known and significant award or honor".

 * Delete. I'd just like to note that even before I actually checked the edit history to see who had created this, I already (and correctly) knew who it was going to be. As always, every mayor of every town is not automatically notable enough for a Wikipedia article just because he existed, Louisiana does not get special dispensation to treat its mayors differently than mayors everywhere else (and abracadabra, now the rest of you know exactly who created this too!), and just verifying the mayor's existence through primary sources, raw tables of election results and the ability to locate an obituary somewhere is not enough to get a mayor over the bar that mayors actually have to clear.

 * Delete falls incredibly short of WP:NPOL and the sourcing is well short of a WP:GNG pass. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:15, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete a not at all notable local mayor. Wikipedia is not Louisianapedia (or New Jerseypedia, or Dedhampedia, those are the other two particularly over created local areas).John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:02, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
