Non-notable local politician who does not satisfy WP:NPOL or WP:ANYBIO and despite numerous references does not satisfy significant coverage to qualify for WP:GNG. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 04:15, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. While San Leandro is large enough that a well-sourced article about a mayor could be kept, it's not large enough to hand its mayors a guaranteed inclusion freebie just because they existed. But the referencing here is overwhelmingly too dependent on primary sources that do not count as support for notability at all, while the fewer sources that do count as reliable source coverage are just the purely local coverage that every mayor of everywhere could always show — and even those skew much more strongly toward namechecks of his existence as mayor in articles about other things, rather than the coverage about him that it actually takes to count as support for notability. So no, this is not sourced well enough to make him more notable than the norm among an otherwise "not inherently notable" class of topic. Bearcat (talk) 16:21, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep As I wrote during the AfD for Denis Law, under WP:NPOL, "an article about a mayor of a city of regional prominence would need adequate sources (in total) that provides a framework to create an article to sufficiently describe the subject and/or their agenda/actions." In this case, there appears to be sufficient detail about the actions of the subject for both his service as a school board member and as mayor. --Enos733 (talk) 20:23, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GNG, WP:NPOL. There are lots of sources, but they only cover the ongoings of the city council and don't talk about him in depth. SportingFlyer  talk  02:13, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - Elected politician as Mayor of San Leandro; copious coverage = GNG pass. Carrite (talk) 06:41, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The copious coverage is about routine city council matters, which doesn't satisfy WP:NPOL's requirement of (paraphrasing) "multiple feature stories written by journalists." SportingFlyer  talk  02:38, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep per Carrite. --Doncram (talk) 01:42, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete a non-notable local mayor. Lots of local coverage does not add up to what we need to have an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:09, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
