Delete at this moment Fails
WP:NPOL and the sourcing does not appear to meet
WP:GNG. Subject was the mayor of
Sparks, Nevada, population 90,000 in 2010. While I think there might be sufficient material about the subject to pass GNG - so it is more than "he exists" - I don't think the sourcing is there yet. --

Delete It is not merely the size of a city that governs if the mayor is notable. A city like Sparks which is a secondary city within a metro area is much likely to propel the mayor to notability than an equally sized city that is the main city in its region or area.

Delete. As it stands, the entire article boils down to "he exists and he has Parkinson's disease", which is not how you make a mayor notable enough for a Wikipedia article — you make a mayor notable by adding and sourcing substance about his political career, not his health status. Sparks is large enough that he could be accepted as notable if the article actually contained meaningful content, so no prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can write an article with more real content and less fluff, but it's not large enough to make him "inherently" notable for the purposes of making it necessary to keep this.
