Substantively identical recreation of previously soft-deleted page, unimproved since. No real evidence of notability. Additionally, the page content is junk; about half of it is copyvio from the sources, and about half of it is unthinking adulation of the subject.

Keep The references in the article about the subject establish notability supported by ample reliable and verifiable sources. Issues of tone / "unthinking adulation" can be best dealt by editing the text. I don't see the copyvio issues, but rewording is a similar solution for that. There is some repetitive content and material that focuses on other family members, but that too is best handled by further improving the article.

Mayors do not normally pass
WP:POLITICIAN until the place that they're mayor of is at least 2.5 to 3 times larger than this, and while this article does cite some sourcing it doesn't cite enough to make him the exception to the rule — the footnotes section, barely adequate as it is, would be sliced in half if I actually stripped all the
primary or
unreliable sources out (footnotes #1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 10 have to go.) Delete.
