Zimmer's closest claim to notability is that she is mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey, a city neither of sufficient size nor of enough regional significance to make the mayor notable. Beyond that there is the truly odd incident of Bridgeslowdown gate, however that would not rise above one event and is not enough to make Zimmer notable.

Keep the article meets the general notability guideline. I am not sure what the population size has to do with notability. This should be administratively closed. The nominator seems to have some grudge against the city and is nominating about 8 mayors of the city for deletion saying the city is too small for inclusion in Wikipedia despite the references in reliable sources. --

While I would not object to an administrative close of the series, I'm sure JPL is acting in good faith. All the best: RichFarmbrough, 00:48, 14 February 2015 (UTC).
Keep or merge and redirect to
Mayors of Hobokon Hobokon is more important than its size suggests, because of its proximity to New York. All the best: RichFarmbrough, 00:48, 14 February 2015 (UTC).
Keep and Trout Slap A major political figure with dozens upon dozens of reliable and verifiable sources about the subject. I thought that the other nominations were sketchy, but this one is a steaming pile of nonsense in what appears to be staggering bad faith. Abuse of process like this needs to be stopped.

Keep In the NYC metro region,
Hoboken is an extremely important city, for political, transportation, residential and cultural reasons and Dawn Zimmer is particularly notable in New Jersey politics. The city's importance to the region is not proportional to its population.

Keep - Elected mayor of Hoboken, NJ, a significant and large American city. (This is the third pretty much terrible nomination by the same nominator, now I've gotta dig and see what other shenanigans are brewing...)Carrite (

Keep per
WP:BASIC. Whether or not Hoboken mayors are automatically notable as mayors of regionally significant cities, Zimmer has significant coverage from multiple, independent reliable sources.
