Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a former small-city mayor. The city has a population of just 33K, which is not large enough to hand a mayor an automatic presumption of notability just for existing -- but this isn't sourced well enough to get him over WP:NPOL #2 as the subject of significant press coverage, as its only source is a transcript of his own "state of the city" speech on his successor's self-published campaign website. There's simply not enough sourcing, or enough substance, here to deem him notable. Bearcat (talk) 20:37, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

• Delete one source is not enough to show the mayor of such a small place is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:15, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

• Comment  The nominator currently has 15 Indiana mayors nominated for deletion.  Unscintillating (talk) 21:19, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
• Comment  Notability is not defined by sources in the article, see WP:N.  Nor do topics on Wikipedia require notability.  There is no evidence of a problem here.  Unscintillating (talk) 21:19, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
