Delete. Local dignitary who served as mayor (which just means chairman of the borough council in Britain and isn't an executive position) for only a year. Not especially notable as a politician or as a doctor. Not honoured by the King. No entry in Who's Who. --

Delete as having copious evidence of existence, but no in depth coverage.

Delete -- unless some one can find something notable about him, he clearly fails
WP:POLITICIAN.

Keep or at least Merge into
Wolverhampton - what is the sense of deleting information about a politician who died almost a hundred years ago which is well-referenced and very nicely presented?

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

Comment (voted above). "redirect" is undesirable, since it will leave an article on a NN person. Mayor in UK is an ofice that senior councillors take in turn. It merely points to long service as a councillor. "merge" into Wolverhampton is also inappropriate, as it will unbalance the article. However in effect that has already been done, since he appoears in the list of mayors. The real issue is that local councillors are NN, as they do not meet
WP:POLITICIAN and unless notable for other reasons should not have articles.
