Mayor of a Town of less than 1,500 who fails WP:NPOL. Most of the sources are family obituaries or basic government records and don't support WP:GNG GPL93 (talk) 13:23, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep/merge per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. A quick browse finds coverage of the subject's son in The Story of Louisiana – Frank Burnside was a mayor and aviator too.  The worst case would be merger into Newellton, Louisiana where the Burnsides seem to have been an influential family. Andrew D. (talk) 14:10, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails NPOL, laughable to assume one is notable for being mayor of a town of 1000 people. Being influential there doesn't go very far... I do not care about his son when talking about notability of the father. Reywas92Talk 06:17, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
