Lack of notability. He was a low profile politician - mayor of a small town of less than 17,000 people - and now a blogger with 6,400 followers on Twitter. Profile has been raised during Governor Greitens' trial but that was for cash payments he delivered to an attorney in a rather salacious case.

 * Delete. Smalltown mayors are not handed an automatic presumption of notability under WP:NPOL #2 just because they exist, but this is not sourced well enough to make him a special case over and above other smalltown mayors. And the stuff about his post-mayoral career in media is not reliably sourced at all, so it doesn't hand him a "notable for other reasons besides his mayoralty" pass either.

 * Delete run of the mill small town politician who doesn't pass WP:NPOL. His run of the mill criminal conviction doesn't get him to WP:GNG, either. SportingFlyer  talk  02:56, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
