Delete.
WP:BLP of a mayor in a town with a population of just 4,000, which is not large enough to hand a mayor an
WP:NPOL pass just because he exists. While this looks extensively sourced on the surface, in reality it's based almost entirely on
primary sources like the city's website and his own ZoomInfo and raw tables of election results stored as PDFs in somebody's
Squarespace -- the little bit of real
reliable source coverage present here is entirely local to his own town, with the exception of a single article in a big-city media outlet which merely namechecks his existence while not being about him. A mayor of a town this size could still get an article if he could actually be sourced over
WP:GNG, but the sourcing here isn't doing that.

Delete To be fair, the city has almost 5,000 people. However this is not nearly enough to make the mayor default notable, and the sources do not pass muster. Even if the last few years have seen significant growth in Platte City, which I am not sure is the case, it is just not a city at the level to make the mayor default notable.
