Procedural nom. The situation is that there was originally a real article at this title. More recently, an anonymous IP overwrote that article with a cut-and-paste copyvio from the city's website, and an AFD — in which only one person weighed in besides the nominator — was conducted on that version of the article, without really considering the edit history. I've restored the original, non-copyvio version of the article, but would like to do a second notability check on it without the copyvio issue clouding things. No vote from me.

 * Delete mayor of town of 50,000 people, no real notability elsewhere - no more notice than what one would assume from any local celebrity be he the town's mayor, dog-catcher, pediatrician, postmaster, homecoming queen, or the like. Carlossuarez46 06:28, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep All mayors are notable, especially for cities with 50,000 people. We have articles on MLAs in Nunavut that represent a few hundred people. -- Earl Andrew - talk 06:38, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS aplies, not mention that MLAs are provincial-level politicians, not local. --Calton | Talk 07:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. No indication he passes WP:BIO, and his city is below the size of 100,000 that I advocate for inherent notability of mayors. Kudos to whomever caught this mistaken AFD but without attribution to reliable sources there isn't much here. --Dhartung | Talk 06:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep mayor of North Bay, Ontario. May be a small city in terms of comparative population but important city in Ontario. Double Blue  (Talk) 06:49, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Pssst...slap a few of those references on the actual article, maybe? Bearcat 09:18, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Local politcian, with no sign that he's known outside the city's borders. --Calton | Talk 07:18, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources provided by User:DoubleBlue (although they need to be added to the article). Sarcasticidealist 17:22, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep In my opinion, the mayor of a city of over 50,000 is notable. -Royalguard11 (T·R!) 19:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. My view is that Fedeli should be considered as notable, even if Wikipedia policy doesn't explicitly define him as such.  CJCurrie (talk) 01:52, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Most Mayors are listed, including smaller Otnario communities such as Timmins.    NipissingU   19:13, 18 November 2007
