Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. Aside from his inappropriate tweets which caused a local kerfuffle, completely non-notable. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:18, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Non-notable local politician who got his 15 mins of fame using Twitter. Lack of enduring, significant coverage. Niteshift36 (talk) 21:25, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Being city councillor and vice mayor in a small town is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass, and this is not referenced to anything like enough reliable source coverage to get him over WP:GNG: the bulk of the sourcing here just makes him a WP:BLP1E, not a topic of enduring interest who's passed the ten year test.

Weak Delete- Even though I contributed to this article, I can agree that he really doesn't have a claim to lasting coverage. He likely falls under notable for one event only. On the other hand, he has actually gotten some national media attention unlike many of the other local politicians that other people claim need to be kept.--Rusf10 (talk) 05:42, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -Appears to be a typical small-town mayor with a few headlines here and there but no sustaining coverage of the subject. Nothing notable in sources and nothing notable in a search for sources. Does not pass WP:GNG and fails to meet WP:NPOL. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 08:42, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Charlotteville is more than a small-town. If this guy were the mayor, I think he'd have a stronger claim to notability. However, as the vice-mayor..." Mojo Hand (talk) 15:49, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

46K is still pretty small for the purposes of whether a mayor gets past WP:NPOL or not. It's a city where mayors could be kept if they were really well-sourced and well-substanced, but not one where every mayor would be extended an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing if their sourcing were as sparse as it is here.

Delete as essentially a one event BLP, as others have noted.--Mojo Hand (talk) 15:53, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable local politician....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 16:04, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
