This is basically a pared down summary of the source used for the article, and doesn't really demonstrate notability of the subject. Per WP:POLOUTCOMES, "Municipal politicians are not inherently notable just for being in politics, but neither are they inherently non-notable just because they are in local politics. Each case is evaluated on its own individual merits. Mayors of cities of at least regional prominence have usually survived AFD, although the article should say more than just "Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville" , and as he was only mayor for less than a year, for circumstances not given) there's really not much about him at that level of office, or at all.

 * Speedy keep. Leaving aside his various other accomplishments and the availability of sources about this historical figure, a clear pass of WP:POLITICIAN as a member of the Texas legislature. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:37, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - Was mayor of San Antonio. The essay WP:OUTCOMES is a hornets nest of self-contradicting opinions and even that doesn't advocate the deletion of this article, just "should say more than just 'Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville'" which, even if that was the case (not the case here) it would be a matter of WP:ATD and WP:SOFIXIT, not deletion.--Oakshade (talk) 20:47, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:NPOL point #1. "Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature". According to this source, he was a member of the Texas legislature.  Omni Flames ( talk ) 23:38, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
