Deletion of W. W. Patterson

Comment: Ashland KY is nowhere near large enough to hand its mayors an automatic free pass over  #2 just for existing, but the article is not sourced anywhere close to well enough to actually get him over the bar. No, it is ''not'' reasonable to extend an automatic notability freebie to every single person who happens to have a biographical sketch in one particular book — for starters, a biographical ''sketch'' is not necessarily ''substantial'' enough to pass GNG all by itself, but the other sources here aren't helping either: there's another even more local history book which is being cited ''only'' for the ''basic'' fact that he served as mayor but ''not'' for any substantive content ''about'' his mayoralty; his entry on Find-a-Grave (which is not a notability-assisting source); a blurb in a government report for which he's the ''author'' and not the ''subject''; and a "hire me" classified ad that he placed himself — which means that the Kentucky book is still the only source here that's doing anything at all, but it isn't doing enough all by itself as the article's ''only'' useful source. And for another thing, what makes that book ''more'' special than every other local history book that ''isn't'' enough coverage to make a smalltown mayor notable all by itself
