Per WP:NPOL and longstanding consensus at AFD, Wikipedia does not confer an automatic presumption of notability on the mayors of individual boroughs within London, nor indeed on the mayors of any place where the mayoralty is a ceremonial post that rotates among councillors rather than being directly elected by the voting public. Accordingly, this mayor's chances of qualifying for a Wikipedia article rely entirely on being able to satisfy WP:GNG — but of the three sources here, #1 is a WordPress blog (an unreliable source); #2 is a single passing acknowledgement of his existence in an article about a local youth public speaking competition (not substantive coverage of him); and #3 is the borough's own website (a primary source). All of which means that GNG has not been fulfilled here. Delete unless a much bigger and better volume of reliable sourcing can be located than this. Bearcat (talk) 17:57, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. British non-executive mayors are not notable. They are just taking their turn at being chairman of the council and chief representative of the borough for a year. Any long-serving councillor will get their turn eventually. It is not a notable post outside the town itself. This has indeed been established in a number of AfDs. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:10, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
