Municipal politician fails WP:NPOL. KidAd •  SPEAK  01:53, 7 April 2021 (UTC)


 * KEEP. A mayor of a city with over 100,000 people is notable. Has sufficient news coverage from upi.com, latimes.com, eastbaytimes.com, laobserved.com, pasadenaweekly.com, and colonytheatre.org. also has 2 awards listed. SWP13 (talk) 02:08, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * DELETE. She hasn't received enough press coverage. Doesn't matter if she is the mayor of a city of 100,000 people or 200,000 people. See WP:NPOL bullet 2: Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. Megtetg34 (talk) 02:59, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment: If there is a consensus that the subject is not notable, the article should be redirected to Burbank, California as a reasonable alternative to deletion. I express no opinion as to notability. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:43, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete unless somebody can actually improve the article. Regardless of the size of city involved, the notability test for mayors is never just the ability to offer technical verification of her election to the office in and of itself — getting a mayor over WP:NPOL #2 requires you to write and reliably source some genuine substance about her political impact, such as specific projects she spearheaded, specific effects she had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. For starters, Burbank is a council-manager city with a weak mayor system — which means the mayoralty is not directly elected by the voters, but instead the position simply rotates annually among the city councillors and confers little to no actual executive authority beyond chairing the council meetings. The notability test for mayors is not the ability to offer verification and reverification and rereverification of her existence as a mayor, or the ability to locate the names of her husband and kids — the notability test is the ability to write and source a detailed and substantial article that demonstrates her political importance, which is not a description of this article in this form.
