Being alderman on a small city council doesn't meet
WP:NPOL, and the Facebook page incident during a protest is a clear case of
WP:BLP1E, with no lasting coverage of him following the protests, and no other indication of independent notability. He gets barely a mention in
Kenosha unrest, and there's no potential for future expansion now that he's left politics.

Keep: further coverage by
Neil MacFarquhar of Mathewson in the New York Times on 16 October 2020. It is preferable to have an article on Mathewson rather than the "Kenosha Guard", which never really existed. Mathewsons actions had an impact, and there is every reason to think more material will come out as the events of that time are investigated.

Delete per
WP:BLP1E, only received coverage for one incident where he behaved like a deranged loon. As far as I can tell his "Kenosha guard" is not mentioned at the Kenosha protests article, meaning this is not a useful redirect.
