An advertorially toned page for an unremarkable entrepreneur. Coverage is mostly hyper-local, such as The Desert Sun. There's one piece of international coverage "The US town that wants to become the best place to grow cannabis in the world", but its coverage of the subject is based on an interview and is not sufficient for notability, focusing on his hopes aspirations:
- Elsasser is president of the Desert Hot Springs Cannabis Alliance Network, a local industry group comprising 24 budding weed businesses. His hope, he says, is that the town will soon be “a Mecca for cannabis.”
As a president of the local trade group, it's natural that he does a lot of self-promotion, but this does not amount to encyclopedia notability. K.e.coffman ( talk) 03:41, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

- Coverage doesn't have to be international or even national to become notable, it just has to be by multiple independent sources for more than a single event, this is also why we have articles about local mayors. -- Donald Trung ( No fake news) ( Articles) Respect mobile users, sign a petition to allow me to use emoji's in my signature. 09:48, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, we don't routinely have articles about all or even most local mayors. For smalltown mayors, the localness or non-localness of the sourcing is a much more significant factor in their keepability or deletability than it is for big city mayors — it matters a lot less to a mayor of New York City than it does to a mayor of Peoria, Illinois.
