Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG, and entirely sourced to his obituary. This was a fun WP:BEFORE search as "Grady White" appears to be a famous boating company, with huge numbers of hits on newspapers.com (probably due to classifieds?). Winnowing down my before search (adding initials and places and "mayor") brought up only routine coverage of him as a mayor. SportingFlyer talk 04:02, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

- Delete being mayor of Melbourne, Florida is not a default sign of notability, and the sources are just not strong enough if that is not the case. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 19:38, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. Melbourne FL is not large enough to hand all of its mayors an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL #2 just for existing, but this is sourced nowhere near well enough to actually get him over the bar. Bearcat ( talk) 19:12, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
