Non-notable mayor. 13 of the references come from his Orlando Sentinel obituary, which appears to be a simple WP:MILL obituary. All other sources are either primary (election results), unreliable (Ancient Faces) or only mention him in passing (his primary challenge only gets him a name drop.) Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL.

- Delete per nom. Not notable and fails GNG. Kierzek (talk) 12:28, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:NPOL. I'll also point out that the Orlando obituary is a paid one and fails WP:RS....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 15:09, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. Melbourne FL is not large enough to hand its mayors an automatic presumption of notability under WP:NPOL just for existing as mayors, but the article is not referenced well enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu: apart from his obituary (which is not a notability clincher in and of itself, since every mayor of everywhere would be routinely expected to get an obituary in the local newspaper upon their death), the only other references here are primary sources and glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of political primary races he didn't win (but being a candidate in a primary is not a notability criterion either.) If he could be shown as the subject of much more substantive coverage than this, then things might be different — but the sourcing shown here isn't enough. Bearcat (talk) 16:45, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
