Small-town mayor, so no automatic WP:NPOL pass. I thought the fact that she has served multiple terms could've led to some WP:SIGCOV, but all I see is routine coverage any person in her position would expect to see from local sources like the Bristol Herald Courier or WCYB-TV. WaPo at least mentions her here, but again, just in passing. For some reason this is a long-standing article on dewiki, which I assume is why the author understandably thought it to be fair game, but I don't think the available sources are enough to justify its inclusion.

Delete. As always, mayors are not handed an automatic inclusion freebie just for verifying their existence as mayors per se — the notability test for mayors is not existence, but concrete and reliably sourced evidence of her significance, such as specific projects she spearheaded, significant effects she had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But this is basically just a prosified version of her résumé, referenced 4/5 to primary sources that are not support for notability at all and 1/5 to a list of all of the candidates in one election that she ran in, which fails to make her markedly more notable than anybody else named in the article and doesn't singlehandedly get her over WP:GNG all by itself as the article's only media source. Nothing here is enough. Bearcat (talk) 13:32, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
