 * Delete mayors of cities that at present have a population of 54,000 are rarely notable, especially when the city is part of a sprawling urban county connected to a major metropolitan area as Prince Georges County Maryland is. Nothing here indicates that Adams is an exception to this general rule.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:05, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete, Mayors are not deemed automatically notable just because they exist, and as yet unelected candidates for state-level office don't get articles just for being candidates either. He would have to win the state comptroller election in November 2022, not just stand as a candidate in it, to stake his notability on the state comptroller position — but the notability of mayors is also not established just by single-sourcing their existence as mayors, but by writing and sourcing substantive content about the significance of his mayoralty: specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects he had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. And no, "first [insert underrepresented group here] to serve as mayor of his own town" isn't an instant notability freebie either. Bearcat (talk) 16:29, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
