Comment: I can't find sourcing to corroborate the content of this article. Can editors find anything more than this and this? If nothing in the article can be referenced it should probably be deleted. Bangabandhu ( talk) 14:25, 15 February 2017 (UTC) reply

• Delete The mayor of a town of just 266 people is never going to be notable just for being a mayor. AusLondonder ( talk) 07:34, 16 February 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete. It's theoretically possible that the mayor of a town of 266 people could actually clear the notability bar — New Hope, Texas isn't a lot larger than that, and its current mayor sailed over the bar when she came out as transgender. But the mayor of a town this size is not automatically entitled to an article just because he exists — we require reliable source coverage about Axman to get him over WP:GNG, and there's none being shown here. And no, the fact that you can find a stock photo of him on Alamy doesn't count as a GNG data point either. Bearcat ( talk) 17:49, 16 February 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete Mayors of cities this small are never notable for such a fact alone, although they may have enough wide-spread GNG coverage to be notable. There is no such coverage of Axman and the article should clearly be deleted. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 19:56, 20 February 2017 (UTC) reply
