Appears to be a non-notable mayor. A WP:BEFORE search, including a look through newspapers.com, revealed no sources that provided significant coverage (even amongst local sources, coverage is minimal and hardly significant). Proposing deletion and re-creation for his WP:NPOL-passing father who shares the same name. Curbon7 (talk) 14:14, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Only mayor of metropolis are notable. 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️ 12:18, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That is not remotely true. Small town mayors can be notable if they have enough wide coverage to meet WP:GNG, such as Pete Buttigieg. Curbon7 (talk) 19:01, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:POLOUTCOMES. While a small-city mayor could be notable (see e.g., Jason West), there must be significant coverage beyond ordinary elections and local news. Alternately, we have sometimes created an article for a father and son with the same name. Bearian (talk) 20:06, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
