This article doesn't meet wp:politician and doesn't meet the broader wp:anybio requirements (just the city's web site and the local newspaper as references).

Keep I was able to find a few articles via google search and google news that seemed notable. Couple that with the comment above - I went ahead and added some sources and info. I think expansion first, then revisit the
WP:GNG question.

Delete Even with the references above, everything is routine local coverage of a small city mayor and not sufficient to establish notability.

Delete. Yet another NN small-town mayor. --

Delete. A well-sourced and substantive article about a mayor could potentially be kept regardless of the city's size, but
WP:NPOL does not confer an automatic presumption of notability on all mayors. A city would have to be twice the size of La Crosse before his mere existence as a mayor was a compelling enough claim of notability in and of itself to get the "keep and flag for refimprove" treatment rather than the "delete" treatment.

Delete as not at all convincing for WP:POLITICIAN.
