Small town (pop 2K) mayor with no strong claim of notability that would pass WP:POLITICIAN — while it's not a hard and fast rule, AFD consensus rarely extends notability to the mayor of anything smaller than a midsized (~50K) city. While the article is not entirely unsourced, it relies entirely on two weekly community newspapers, published by the same company, in her own hometown and the only slightly larger town just a few miles down the highway — neither of which is large enough or widely distributed enough to confer any real notability if they're the best we can do for sourcing. If she were getting her name into the Denver Post on a regular basis, then maybe there might be a stronger case for inclusion than there is here, but local community weeklies don't cut it. Delete.

Delete She made notice by writing a balanced letter to the editor on city expansion. That just is not something of exncyclopedic note in a city of less than 5,000, of which there are thousands in the US alone. If we were to create articles on all mayors world-wide who reach her level of notability, we would probably double the size of wikipedia and people would call it "mayor-pedia". She is not notable enough for inclusion here. This is the ultimate in one-event, presentist bias coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:33, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
