Mayors aren't inherently notable and there is no notability asserted in this, or that I could find online. I can find nothing to meet
WP:POLITICIAN or
WP:GNG online. I suspect there may be some paper sources but I haven't come across any.

Delete. As author, I was over quick to give him and some other Flint mayors articles. Condensing them down to an expanded list (slowly).

Delete mayors are not inherently notable. We need to find sources to justify having an article. There have been books written on Flint but I am not sure they say much of the mayor. Plus one, lauding Flint as the best American city, was written about a decade before Poulos was mayor.

Question: I thought there was a guideline providing that mayors of cities with a population > 100,000 were deemed notable. If so, Flint in the 1960s (while Poulos was mayor) had a population of approximately 200,000.

Per
WP:POLOUTCOMES, mayors of regional prominent cities are ("at least regional prominence have usually survived AFD"), but they have to have more than the basic. I have only found one additional news article on him.

Keep per Bearian. Flint had a population of 200,000 at the time he was mayor. I've added some sources. Unfortunately, archives of The Flint Journal (the most likely source to find additional significant coverage) are not available online.
