Richard W. Suscha

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Mr. Suscha's major source of notability was his 12 years as mayor of Sheboygan, Wisconsin (2010 population: 49,288) which, by my extremely humble opinion, does not warrant an ex officio article under WP:POLITICIAN. Dolotta (talk) 23:26, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. While 49K is large enough that a mayor could keep an article that was well-cited to reliable source coverage, it's not large enough that a mayor gets an automatic presumption of notability just for existing if the article is sourced this poorly — the only source here is a blog entry on the website of the local minor league baseball team in the town where he was mayor, which is a reliable source in no sense whatsoever. And for added bonus, there's a probable conflict of interest here as the article was created by User:Csuscha. Bearcat (talk) 02:13, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Good-effort article to catalog a former mayor in my city, but as-is, he was a pretty generic public official and the article glosses past the negatives of his time as mayor (Plaza 8 and the cost of I-43 to local commerce, for instance); doesn't help that the article starter seems to be a family member.

 * Delete as the article stands now. It needs reliable sources to back up everything (a local baseball team blog doesn't count). If the article was reliably sourced I would !vote for its being kept. I think that Sheboygan is large enough of a city to justify inclusion. No prejudice against recreation if it were properly sourced and I would be willing to undelete for work in userspace or draftspace for that purpose.  Royal broil  13:59, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
