Mayors are not notable by default. The subject has just been a candidate in general assembly elections and not entered any legislative office. As such this fails, WP:NPOL, and I did not find anything on google that might help it pass WP:GNG. ─ The Aafī (talk) 06:42, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

- Delete Mayor is a near in every district of India, for which he should be more than 18 years, if a person becomes notable by becoming mayor, then Rekha is notable, but just because you become mayor at a young age, you are considered notable, it would be wrong to say Rekha would have become mayor only after the age of 18, so it is wrong to say that he is the youngest mayor.

- Delete and/or redirect. Mayors are not automatically notable just because they exist, and neither are unelected candidates for higher offices — and no, just happening to be the youngest mayor serving in the country at one particular time isn't in and of itself a notability freebie either. The key to making a mayor notable enough for a Wikipedia article doesn't hinge on verifying that she exists, but requires writing and sourcing genuine substance about her political impact: specific things she did as mayor, specific projects she spearheaded as mayor, specific effects her mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But there's no content of that ilk here. Bearcat ( talk) 13:12, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
