The result was delete. A single article about a mayoral race in a small suburb is not sufficnet to even come close to establishing notability. Courcelles ( talk) 01:39, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

Former mayor of Papillion, Nebraska, an Omaha suburb with population 19,000. Searching Google and Google News for ("dave black" papillion) turned up no detailed coverage. Searching the online archives of the Omaha World-Herald for ("dave black") also turned up no detailed coverage. As the mayor of a fairly small city, who's apparently received no significant press coverage, Black appears to fail the general notability standards and those specifically laid out at WP:POLITICIAN.

• Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN as a mayor of a city of less than 20,000 people, with no significant coverage in reliable sources. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:18, 28 August 2015 (UTC) reply
• Smalltown mayor with no substantive reliable source coverage shown; the one non-primary source here just demonstrates that he exists, which is not enough to get a smalltown mayor into Wikipedia in and of itself. Delete. Bearcat ( talk) 16:41, 29 August 2015 (UTC) reply
• Keep. It's true that the article had not a lot of coverage, and the article was outdated and had wrong facts. I have just fixed and updated the article with the fact that he is still Mayor, and was re-elected in 2014, with this source from the Omaha World-Herald. Now, the Omaha World-Herald is the primary daily newspaper in Nebraska – that sounds like substantive coverage to me. SuperCarnivore591 ( talk) 02:40, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply
• Delete smalltown mayor, fails WP:NPOL, coverage in a metro paper which covers his hometown remains local, and is not "significant" as required by GNG Kraxler ( talk) 01:28, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply
