  • Delete. She's a perfectly nice person, but as the mayor of a small city, not particularly notable. Jonathunder ( talk) 03:37, 16 November 2013 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

  • Delete Appears to fail our general notability guidelines at this time, sadly. SarahStierch ( talk) 02:15, 23 November 2013 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - The politispam tone of the piece notwithstanding, the entire question here is whether elected mayorship of a small town of 3100 people is sufficient for an automatic pass under the Special Notability Guideline for politicians:

Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature. This also applies to persons who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them.

Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.

Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article."

I don't see significant coverage rising to this level. Carrite ( talk) 18:26, 25 November 2013 (UTC) reply
