Keep the references appear to meet GNG, and if you think it is copied from somewhere, show us the link to the prior material. --RAN (talk) 19:04, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the references are all local coveage, which for a local level politician will never be enough to meet the general notability guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:41, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Meets GNG guidelines. Further guidelines unnecessary. He doesn't have to meet the additional criteria. See the guideline - "A person who fails to meet these additional criteria may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability.". References indicates notability.BabbaQ (talk) 19:48, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is a longstanding community consensus that politicians require extensive coverage in non-local reliable sources. Small town pols rarely meet this standard. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:43, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- as a mayor of a small town, the subject does not meet WP:NPOL. Does not meet WP:ANYBIO since the coverage is local and / or routine. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:45, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
