fails notability as per WP:POLITICIAN, is an WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY and is written like a resume. Rusf10 (talk) 05:58, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

 * You're making an allegation here with nothing to back it up. Outside of the NYT article that is already referenced, All I got is a few passing mentions/quotes from him in articles about MADD events. And the New York Times articles (there is one other) are about radon found in his town. Because he is the mayor, they have a few quotes from him, that's it. If you've found more than that, let me know.--Rusf10 (talk) 02:32, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * That's all Unscintillating ever actually contributes to AFD discussions at all: attempts to completely derail discussions by burying them in wikilawyering non sequiturs that have nothing to do with policy, consensus or the actual substance of the arguments they're responding to.

 * You need to stop doing that. If there is anyone who hears/believes you, they are already suffering from personality challenges, and you are pushing their buttons.  Unscintillating (talk) 00:06, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
 * what the hell do you mean by "personality challenges"? Certainly something relevant to AFD (for once) I hope.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:18, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Can I let you in on a little secret, Unscintillating? You're never going to get very far on Wikipedia with the position that anybody who ever disagrees with you in a discussion or debate has a personality disorder rather than a legitimate difference of opinion or an actual valid point.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. This is written like a résumé, not an encyclopedia article; the place he was mayor of is not large enough to hand its mayors an automatic pass of WP:NPOL #2 just for existing; and the sourcing is nowhere near solid enough to deem him as passing GNG in lieu of failing NPOL. Bearcat (talk) 05:46, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Largely per Bearcat. Obviously, Nulman fails NPOL -- no automatic passes there. One would have to argue for GNG but the existing sources are dismal at best, and in good faith I could not conclude he passes that either.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:18, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete This is one of the most clearly non-notable politicians I have ever seen an article on. If that New York Times articles were enough for notability, we should also include an article in Wikipedia on the mother of three listed there. Clinton, New Jersey still has less than 3,000 people, but when Nulman was mayor there it was more on the order of 2,000 people. A city 10 times that amount almost certainly would not grant the mayor notability, and even 100 times that amount would not give an automatic pass, we would still need multiple occasions of substantial coverage (such as what exists for Jim Fouts, although I know the article does not capture all the coverage, Fouts in the mind of some is a publicity seeker, but what is clear is he gets publicity). The city only covers about a square mile. The fire department has 500 calls a year, but only because it covers an area of 30 square miles, taking in some surrounding areas. Raritan Township, New Jersey in the same county has nearly ten times as many people as Clinton. I do not think I have ever seen an article on a mayor of a less significant place who had no better claim to notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:35, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment The following sources are in Clinton, New Jersey:










 * Oxford University Press is the largest university press in the world, and Rowman & Littlefield is a publisher targeting an academic market. Unscintillating (talk) 16:56, 1 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete then Redirect to Clinton, New Jersey Nulman is the rare mayor of a town of under 3000 population to receive international academic-press attention for his work as mayor.With multiple Google searches, I could not confirm his role as NJ state water policy commissioner, so I am concerned that our current BLP cannot be sourced, so WP:DEL9.As always, our WP:Editing policy is to preserve the value that others have added, and to this end I have revised Clinton, New Jersey.For further reference, see the policy WP:ATD-R and the information page WP:Guide to deletion.
