Steve Cappiello

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Cappiello's only claim to fame is serving as mayor of Hoboken. This is neither a city of enough regional significance or one of large enough population to make the mayors of it default notable. John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:10, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep the article meets the general notability guideline. The population of the city he was mayor of does not determine notability, the reliable sources cited in the article do. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 23:59, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge and redirect to Mayors of Hobokon Hobokon is more important than its size suggests, because of its proximity to New York.  All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 23:58, 13 February 2015 (UTC).


 * Keep Notable as local politician. Billy Hathorn (talk) 17:24, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep As a major local political leader, with ample coverage in reliable and verifiable sources to establish notability. Despite its size, Hoboken punches far above its weight, making it a regionally important city, as evidenced here and in the article for the present mayor, Dawn Zimmer. The nominator appears to have prejudged this AfD based on the city's size and has made no mention or taken any consideration of the availability or quality of reliable and verifiable sources or of alternative solutions as explicitly required by WP:BEFORE. The additional failure to combine a series of such AfDs all based on the same rationalization raises further issues. Alansohn (talk) 01:37, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep In the NYC metro region, Hoboken is an extremely important city, for political, transportation, residential and cultural reasons. Its importance to the region is not proportional to its population. Liz  Read! Talk! 13:49, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mayor of a city of 50,000 people. Just not notable enough. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:28, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:BASIC. Whether or not Hoboken mayors are presumed notable as mayors of regionally significant cities, Capiello has been the subject of significant coverage from diverse sources. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 20:56, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
