Delete. Biography of a former mayor, in a place not large enough to hand an automatic presumption of notability to its mayors under WP:NPOL. But the referencing here is not solid enough to give him a WP:GNG pass under the "who have received significant press coverage" part of our notability criteria for mayors -- this is based entirely on just three pieces of local media coverage no different in either volume or range from what all mayors always routinely get. If this were based on a lot more distinct sources, or if the coverage were expanding beyond the purely local, then there'd be a stronger inclusion case per WP:GNG -- but what's shown here is not enough sourcing to constitute "significant press coverage" for the purposes of passing NPOL.
