Mayors aren't inherently notable and there is no notability asserted in this, or that I could find online. I can find nothing to meet WP:POLITICIAN or WP:GNG online. I suspect there may be some paper sources but I haven't come across any. Boleyn (talk) 20:58, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As author, I was over quick to give him and some other Flint mayors articles. Condensing them down to an expanded list (slowly). Spshu (talk) 21:55, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete mayors are not inherently notable. We need to find sources to justify having an article. There have been books written on Flint but I am not sure they say much of the mayor. Plus one, lauding Flint as the best American city, was written about a decade before Poulos was mayor.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:10, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Question: I thought there was a guideline providing that mayors of cities with a population > 100,000 were deemed notable. If so, Flint in the 1960s (while Poulos was mayor) had a population of approximately 200,000. Cbl62 (talk) 15:47, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:POLOUTCOMES, mayors of regional prominent cities are ("at least regional prominence have usually survived AFD"), but they have to have more than the basic. I have only found one additional news article on him. Spshu (talk) 22:36, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
