Biography of a smalltown mayor, not
properly sourced as passing
WP:NPOL. As always, mayors are not automatically notable just because they exist, and must be shown to pass
WP:GNG on the sourcing -- and no, the fact that Leaside became a neighbourhood of
Toronto 30 years after Nealson's term as mayor of Leaside ended does not mean that Nealson gets an "inherent" notability freebie on "Leaside became part of Toronto + mayors of Toronto would be notable = mayors of Leaside are notable" grounds, because a mayor's notability is contingent on the sourcing and substance present in the article and not just on a "some cities' mayors get an automatic inclusion freebie" basis.
But the sourcing here isn't establishing that she would pass GNG; the footnotes are a photograph, a glancing namecheck of her existence in an article on the broad phenomenon of women in municipal politics, and one
blog article about the time she ran and lost against another woman -- which means there's only one source here that's actually about Beth Nealson in any non-trivial sense, which is nowhere near enough to establish notability on this basis.
