Delete; WP:BLP of a former mayor of a village of 10K. This is not large enough to hand a mayor an automatic presumption of notability per WP:NPOL just for existing -- but the sourcing here consists of just one article in the local media about his retirement from a non-notable local committee 26 years after leaving the mayor's chair, which is not even close to enough coverage to pass WP:GNG in lieu.

- Delete Concur with nom. Mayor of small village does not meet WP:NPOL and there is no other claim per WP:GNG. Article created by editor who has only contributed to four articles related to this village. MB 01:27, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
DO NOT Delete Edward Paesel has done much more work for the South Suburbs of Chicago! You clearly are not from the south suburban are of Chicago! Ed Paesel was the Executive Director of South Suburban Mayors and Managers which represented some 45 Communities in the Chicagoland area! The collective population is much greater than 10,000! Why some may feel this is insignificant, there are many others who have done less that are on Wikipedia! So please DO NOT DELTE THIS!!!! He is not only a historic figure of a community, but has played a much greater role in the South Suburbs and State of Illinois!!! Wiszo8
- Wikipedia does not keep articles about people who are asserted, but not reliably sourced, as locally notable to a single area — we keep articles about people who are reliably sourced as notable well beyond the purely local level of significance. That is, if you want to demonstrate that he's notable enough for an article, then you need to show more than just purely local coverage, and more than just one piece of referencing about him announcing his retirement from a municipal committee.

- Delete Unfortunately Paesel does not meet out notability standards ( WP:NPOL or WP:BASIC). NPOL states "just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability" AusLondonder ( talk) 07:26, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete GNG/BASIC/NPOL fail. No use wasting time discussing this Afd unless reliable sources with significant coverage can be documented. Lourdes 06:24, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
