Non-notable local politician and businessman. Greenwich isn't a very large town and he was a member of the town's board (basically a town council), non-remarkable business career. I don't find sourcing about him, other than hyper-local descriptions of typical government things. Oaktree b (talk) 04:38, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Objection. He was the First Selectman (Mayor) of Greenwich. The RTM is the town council (and one of the oldest legislative bodies on a municipal level in the US). This should justify a Wiki entry. Theanonymoustypist (talk) 15:52, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * additionally there has been wide media coverage (incl. state wide media such as Hartford Courant). He was a political candidate and is generally known beyond the Greenwich borders Theanonymoustypist (talk) 15:53, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. Regardless of whether their job title was "councillor", "mayor" or "selectman", people at the local city/town/municipal level of political office are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because it's possible to verify that they exist, and rather the notability test for local politicians hinges on actually writing and sourcing substantive content about his political impact — specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his time in office had on the development of the city or town, and on and so forth — but there's absolutely no content of that ilk shown here at all. And unsuccessful candidates for statewide office also don't get articles on that basis either — even at the state level, the bar for inclusion in Wikipedia is holding a notable office, not just running for one, and this article doesn't show any credible reason why his candidacy should be viewed as a special case of significantly greater notability than other people's candidacies either.

Relisting comment: We have implied coverage, but no indication of depth. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star   Mississippi  15:36, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Being a Mayor alone may not make him qualify per guidelines, but there is plenty of coverage on him, so he meets WP:GNG and WP:NBASIC. At least 3 citations are behind paywall, which I cannot access, but the titles imply coverage about him. Coutant mentions him 14 times. Hkkingg (talk) 07:33, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Comments. "First selectman" is equivalent to mayor, supervisor, or chairperson in a local government. For towns of the size of Greenwich, they are not automatically notable. Willing to look for other sources. The current article needs a lot of work. Bearian (talk) 18:37, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sources and references provided the article appear to meet WP:GNG requirements. Stifle (talk) 10:19, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
