Fails NPOL, GNG. A list of mayors on the Emeryville page would be fine, but it's unclear that he's notable on his own. South Nashua (talk) 15:15, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Mayors of small towns aren't automatically presumed notable just because they exist, but this isn't referenced well enough to pass the "who have received significant press coverage" part of our inclusion criteria for local officeholders — the only reliable sources here are not covering him in the context of his mayoralty, but are just namechecking his existence in the context of the death of his grandson. And no, being a small-town's first African-American mayor isn't an automatic notability boost either — it might make a difference if the coverage of him nationalized for that reason, but it doesn't automatically make him more notable than all of Emeryville's other mayors if sufficient sourcing isn't there to support it.

 * Delete - subject of the article does not meet our inclusion criteria for politicians, specifically failing to be the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 00:48, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Emeryville is not even a significant enough city to have it clearly spelled out in the article on the city if it has a mayor-council or city manager with figurehead mayor system of government. Clearly having a grandchild kiled in an interaction with the police is not enough to make Savage himself notable. Emeryville had under 7,000 inhabitants when Savage was mayor, and is a city with 1.2 square miles of land sandwiched between Oakland, California and Berkeley, California. It, like many other places in the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose area is the base of many computer related companies, possibly most notably Pixar, and has a deep cultural cache. However none of this rises to a level giving the mayor notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:03, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
