The result was no consensus. There has always been some controversy over where to draw the line on notability for local politicians such as mayors of small cities, and whether the Toledo Blade is "too local" or not is an issue where reasonable people can disagree. In this discussion, we see that disagreement and since there is no consensus I am closing this one accordingly.

Delete Being the mayor of Tiflin does not make one notable. He has not received coverage beyond what is routine for all politicians in local papers. Tiflin is within the Toledo coverage area. If you could find mention in Detroit or Chicago or even Cleveland papers maybe, but not a Toledo paper.
