Bob Jackson (American politician)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a politician, notable only as the mayor of a city of about 48-50K. While that can be large enough to get a mayor into Wikipedia if the article is well-sourced, it is not large enough to confer an automatic presumption of notability on a mayor just because he exists. But the only source present here is the city council's own primary source website about itself -- and on a Google search, all I was able to find was glancing namechecks of his existence, with no evidence that he's substantively the subject of enough coverage to get over WP:GNG. This was created, for the record, by the same user who simultaneously created bios for each of the same city's municipal councillors, which I nominated a few days ago at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lisa Fitzgibbons.

Delete Because article clearly fails WP:NPOL and has no pre-existing claim to meeting WP:GNG. AusLondonder (talk) 06:02, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
