• Delete. Yet another NN small-town mayor. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 16:38, 5 October 2016 (UTC) reply
• 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 mayors of La Crosse are not notable for such. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 23:23, 9 October 2016 (UTC) reply
• Delete as, after watching these as this nomination has continued, there's simply nothing for any actual WP:POLITICIAN notability. SwisterTwister talk 23:32, 9 October 2016 (UTC) reply
