Local politician that fails to meet notability guidelines both as a politician and as a figure. His tenure in Florissant, Missouri (population 52,158) had no unusual events to warrant significantly different coverage than any other local politician. Nor does his law enforcement career arise to such a level.

- Delete. Florissant MO is not large enough to confer an automatic presumption of notability on its mayors just for existing as mayors, but the article is neither substantive enough nor well sourced enough to get him over the bar that he would actually have to clear. The notability test for a mayor is not just the ability to source a bit of biographical background to two or three hits of purely local media coverage — it requires the ability to write and source some genuine substance about his political significance, such as specific city-building projects he championed, significant successes and failures in the mayor's chair, specific effects he had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But there's no such content here. Bearcat ( talk) 11:05, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete is not a level of office that confers notability and the sourcing does not overcome the lack of automatic notability in the office. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 21:53, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Small town politician doesn't meet WP:POLITICIAN. There are a few independent reliable sources about him, but they're really short, 3-4 sentences. They'd help meet WP:GNG if we had a long indepth source, but we don't. -- GRuban ( talk) 12:44, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
