WP:BLP of a politician, not
properly referenced as passing
WP:NPOL. As always, mayors are not "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to be shown to have significant
reliable source coverage enabling us to write substantive content about their political impact: specific things they did, specific projects they spearheaded, specific effects their leadership had on the development of the city, and on and so forth.
As written, however, this is strictly on the level of "Ken Popove is a mayor who exists, the end", and features absolutely none of the type of content that an article about a mayor needs to show -- and for sourcing, it's citing purely
run of the mill verification of his election victories, with absolutely none of the ongoing "in office" coverage that's required.
Chilliwack is a large enough city that its mayors would be eligible to keep substantively written and well-sourced articles that met
WP:NPOL #2, but it is in no sense large or significant enough that he would get an automatic notability freebie on an article that's this inadequate.
