Mayor of a small town of 3000 people. Most sources are primary, the overwhelming majority being government sources. Fails WP:NPOL. AusLondonder (talk) 15:16, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Mayors are not all "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:NPOL #2 on third-party coverage about them and their work in politics in reliable sources. But as noted by the nominator, this is footnoted mainly to primary sources that are not support for notability, and what little there is for WP:GNG-worthy reliable sourcing is just the run of the mill local coverage in the local media that every mayor of everywhere can always show, sufficient neither in volume nor depth to get him over NPOL #2. One of the media hits was just about him attending a community squid fry event, which is hardly the stuff of permanent notability for a mayor in and of itself.
