Delete Daly City isn't small, but it's not large enough for automatic notability for a mayor. There's a lot unsourced in this article as well that would be very difficult to find verifiable independent sourcing for, which slightly surprises me. Doesn't pass
WP:NPOL and
WP:GNG.

Delete. The real killer here isn't so much Daly City's population, as the fact that its mayors are not directly elected by the voting public — this is one of those "council-manager" cities where the councillors select the mayor among themselves on a rotation, so that practically everybody on council gets a turn. That type of mayor does not get an automatic presumption of notability regardless of the city's population, but is considered notable only if he or she can be shown as the subject of significantly more than just a smattering of purely local coverage — which means that the sourcing here isn't enough.
