 * 74K isn't beyond the pale for a mayor to be considered notable; if proper reliable sourcing were there to support it, then 74K would be more than enough. What is definitive here, rather, is the total and utter lack of any real substance besides "is mayor, has kids, served on a committee", or any sources besides the city's own website about itself — but no mayor, even the mayor of a city in the millions, gets to have an article that's written this fluffily and sourced this minimally.

 * Comment. Minuscule is a relative term. I would argue that 74,820 is not minuscule for Norway. Plus, regardless of the size of the city you lead, it is what you accomplish while mayor, not the size of the city. Postcard Cathy (talk) 02:36, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete my general rule of thumb is anything below 100,000 is not going to be big enough to get the mayor notability, and either way, we need good sources to get it, much better than are here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:00, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and I would've also considered PROD as there's nothing at all close to minimal notability and nothing at all convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  04:10, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
