Unnotable mayor holding unnotable positions. Sources are all WP:ROUTINE. Could also be redirected to Margaret Price Finlay. Previously nominated in the 48-article bundle at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fidel Vargas, closed as procedural keep due to the bundle's size.

- Delete. Duarte CA is nowhere close to large enough that its mayors would receive an automatic presumption of notability just for existing as mayors — the notability test at the local level of office hinges not on minimally verifying that the person exists, but on maximally sourcing substantial content about their political impact: specific things they did as mayor, specific projects they spearheaded as mayor, significant effects their mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But there's nothing like that here, and the article is based entirely on primary sources rather than evidence that she has enough media coverage to pass NPOL #2.

- Delete: 20 000 ppl is a decent enough sized city, but all coverage is routine goings-on in the city and talking about stuff the mayor does. Nothing really for notability. Oaktree b ( talk) 21:36, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
