Glover was mayor of Norwalk, Connecticut. Being a mayor is not a sign of default notability. However our sources only establish that Glover was mayor of the city. That is not enough to show notability. We would need sources discussing more than his election, and the results of elections. This type of coverage can be found on any mayor who served anywhere that press coverage of local politics existed, which covers almost every mnicipality that has existed from at least 1830 on. None of this comes even close to showing notability. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 13:02, 17 December 2019 (UTC) reply

• Delete. Mayors are not automatically notable just because they exist, but this features neither the content nor the sourcing needed to get him over the bar that mayors actually have to clear. The notability test for mayors is the ability to write a substantive article about his political importance, not just the ability to verify his victories. But after stating that he existed, the only other content here is a one by one list of the candidates he defeated each time he ran for election, which is not the kind of content we're looking for, and there aren't nearly enough sources to push him over the line.
