Struggling to see the notability on this one. The sources I've read (either as linked or having googled them) either don't mention the subject or just serve to verify his existence – NOT his notability. I can't see any real claims to notability in the article; perhaps there's something in the 'first mayor of Brownwood', but WP:NPOL says "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage" and I can't see significant press coverage...

Delete being the first mayor of a small community is not a sign of notability, and this article is too much built on primary sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:46, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
