Biography of a mayor, referenced only to a general community history book with no evidence of reliable source coverage about him. This is simply not enough sourcing to get him over the "who have received significant press coverage" part of our WP:NPOL criteria for local officeholders, and none of the article's content suggests any substantive reason why we could extend him a presumption of notability in the absence of better sourceability than this.

 * Delete Subject settled in Whitevale, Ontario and the town was named after him. The town is now a hamlet (population appx. 250) wholly within the city limits of Pickering, Ontario. All of the existing sourcing on the subject is from one source - Wood, W.R. (1911). Past Years in Pickering. The community consensus about the notability of mayors includes both an evaluation of the city's population and type of government. In this case, the size of the jurisdiction is much smaller than what is accepted for the presumption of notability. Failing WP:Politician, the standard next is WP:GNG. In this case, the sourcing does not appear to be sufficient at this time to keep an article about the subject. There may be more coverage in the Toronto newspapers archives about the subject, but until then, the article should be deleted. --Enos733 (talk) 01:04, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge the portions of this stub relevant to the history of Whitevale, Ontario into that short geo article.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:32, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Whitevale, Ontario per Onel5969's suggestion although I don't see much that's appropriate to salvage. --Lockley (talk) 22:21, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
