Previously deleted newly recreated article for non-notable mayor with just basically a CV. PROD removed by creator, fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. SportingFlyer  T · C  06:24, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. La Crosse isn't big enough for him to meet SNG.  Willsome 4 29  (say hey or see my edits!) 13:11, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. While a genuinely substantive and well-referenced article about a mayor of La Crosse WI could potentially be kept, that's not what this article is: this basically just résumés his career background and says almost nothing whatsoever about his political impact in the mayor's chair, but mayoral notability depends much more on the latter than the former. As for the six footnotes, five are primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, and the only one that actually represents media coverage about him is from a local radio station in La Crosse, which means it isn't enough to singlehandedly get him over WP:GNG all by itself as the only piece of media coverage in play. For him to be notable enough for a Wikipedia article, there would have to be a lot more substance, and a lot better sourcing, than this. And for the record, every single other person in has some other notability claim over and above having been mayor of La Crosse per se, such as going on to serve in the state legislature — so the fact that some of them have articles is not in and of itself a reason to exempt Kabat from having to clear our notability standards for mayors the normal way.
