Subject is small town mayor with no real notability outside the town's own newspaper coverage. The content in this article is scant and there is not likely to be any more.

- Keep Champaign, Indiana has a population of 81,000. That's a small city, not a small town, and for cities of that size, we have always considered the mayors to be notable DGG ( talk ) 14:44, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Nitpick: It's Champaign, Illinois. eaolson (talk) 00:25, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment From WP:POLOUTCOMES "Mayors of cities of at least regional prominence have usually survived AFD, although the article should say more than just "Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville"." The question could be answered by the size of the city - which would be about the 380th largest city in the United States. Census Fact Finder 2012 The metropolitan area, though, is a metropolitan statistical area, ranked 181st and Champaign is the major city in the area. The other question should be how the Mayor is elected - city wide or in a Council–manager government, the Mayor could be elected by their colleagues on the City Council. (In this case, the Mayor is elected city-wide, but this is a question that I like to know when evaluating an AfD for a Mayor). So, is the consensus one that is based on population size of the city, or whether it is the largest city in a metropolitan region (or division within a metropolitan region) (U.S. Census definitions) and how would that translate to other countries? Perhaps I am overthinking this too much, but I can see how 81,000 could be seen both as a small city or a large one. Enos733 (talk) 06:43, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Going to agree about this being passable because it is a sizable city and the article is an adequate start and needs not OR or digging to bring up relevant information. It needs work though. Like being hit with Reflinks, which I will do now. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 20:15, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
