Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Coverage is routine and local. Lacking significant coverage specifically about the individual. AusLondonder ( talk) 00:59, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

WP:NPOL's
A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists
does not say local coverage doesn't count. Hameltion ( talk | contribs) 03:56, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- We don't have a rule that local coverage is ineligible for use, no. We do have a rule that local coverage in local-interest contexts isn't necessarily enough if it's all that a person has — every mayor of everywhere will always have some evidence of coverage in their local media, so if that were how it worked then Wikipedia would have no way to distinguish notable mayors from non-notable mayors at all, and we would have to indiscriminately keep an article about every single mayor who ever mayored anywhere on earth regardless of its quality. So no, the notability test for a mayor does not hinge on just showing three or four hits of purely local media coverage, and does require the article to do and say and source a lot more than this article is doing or saying or sourcing.

- Redirect per Djflem. The notability test for a mayor is not passed by just showing a handful of local coverage — it hinges on showing substantive content, referenced to a significant volume of media coverage, about her political impact: specific things she did, specific projects she spearheaded, specific effects her mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. It's not enough to minimally verify that she exists — mayoral notability hinges on showing some concrete evidence of why she could be credibly considered one of the most uniquely important mayors in the entire country, which most certainly does require her to show either much more nationalized coverage than the norm for mayors, or a much greater volume of coverage than the norm for mayors.

- Delete We typically delete articles on mayors of small jurisdictions who have only received coverage in their own local area per NPOL, and this short article doesn't even come close to a showing of notability. No problem with a redirect. SportingFlyer T· C 15:14, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
