A mayor in a town in Oregon, individual appears to be non-notable per Wikipedia standards. Very little online that would prove notability. Other than being a mayor, no mentions whatsoever. Article is filled with her resume, references are few and largely primary. If not deleted, suggest merge with Salem, Oregon. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 03:59, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not sure merging with Salem is appropriate if she's not notable. Since notability is not temporary, putting her info in the Salem article would be unencyclopedic. Possibly merge some info to her husband's article if appropriate, if it's not already in there. Valfontis (talk) 15:01, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep She is not the mayor of a small town in Oregon, she is the mayor of the capital city and second largest city of the state. Other current and former mayors of Oregon have their own articles, namely Kitty Piercy, Jim Torrey, Shane Bemis, all of which are or were mayors of cities the same size or smaller than Salem. Even Portland city commissioners like Steve Novick and Dan Saltzman have their own articles. I understand your deletion request for Lou Ogden, as he is the mayor of a city with less than 30,000 people, however Peterson, as mayor of a city with over 160,000, and as wife of a notable member of the Oregon Supreme Court, should stay, and according to Wikipedia:POLOUTCOMES mayors of cities at at least a regional level (Oregon being the region here) are usually notable enough to warrant their own article.

Just remember that notability is not inherited. Valfontis (talk) 00:00, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Being mayor of any size town or city does not ensure, nor create, notability per Wikipedia guidlelines and policies. Just because there are other mayor articles in Wikipedia, that doesn't make this article acceptable. Please see WP:OTHERSTUFF. Further, being the wife of a state Supreme Court justice means nothing, as notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 14:58, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
