• Delete No reliable sources found. Clear fail of NPOL. GN-z11 ^{☎ ★} 10:00, 13 February 2019 (UTC) reply
• Delete. Cumberland MD is nowhere near large enough to hand its mayors an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing, but the article is referenced nowhere close to well enough to make him special. Notability is not inherited, so the fact that his house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places doesn't grant him an exemption from having to clear regular biographical standards — it justifies an article about the house, which in fact we already have at Thomas Koon House, but does not reify into an inclusion freebie for the house's occupant in the absence of enough sourcing to make him notable as a politician.

• Delete The national historical register articles get crufty pretty quickly too, so the fact there's a two-primary-source directory listing of his house on the site isn't helpful for his notability either (apart from all the other issues). SportingFlyer T· C 23:33, 14 February 2019 (UTC) reply
• Delete mayors are not presumed notable, and the sourcing is not enough for notability. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 23:32, 16 February 2019 (UTC) reply
