WP:BLP of a small-town mayor, not properly referenced as passing WP:NPOL #2. As always, mayors are not all given an automatic notability freebie just because they exist -- the notability test for a mayor is the ability to write a substantive and well-sourced article about her political significance: specific projects she spearheaded, specific effects she had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But the only notability claim being attempted here is of the "first member of X group to accomplish this not inherently notable thing in her own region" variety, which is still not an instant notability pass in the absence of a lot more media coverage than this -- and the only references being shown at all are her self-published biographical page on the city's website, and a campaign brochure on a voter information website, neither of which are notability-supporting sources. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to be referenced much, much better than this. Bearcat (talk) 00:03, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete First x in y does not normally work to make one notable. I am not sure I even trust the sources to have considered how many people have been mayors in California to have any confidence in the "first Native American mayor" designation. Considering how many people live in Los Angeles County, any place with under 100,000 is not going to be significant enough to make the mayor notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:31, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Gardena, California is a city where if there is enough third party information about the mayor, an article could be created. Additionally, being the first Native American mayor in the state may be a claim that passed WP:NPOL (see WP:POLOUTCOMES). At this point, as Bearcat describes, there is not enough sourcing to pass WP:GNG or any verification of the claim to be the first tribal member to serve as a California mayor. --Enos733 (talk) 22:57, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
