Comment: I'm not seeing significant coverage of the subject in secondary sources to pass  although I see lots of incidental news coverage. The difference between "historic first" and "that's nice, a novelty" is a matter of how much attention people pay to the matter. I personally think it's a good thing about America that a town's first openly gay mayor attracts more of the second variety of attention than the first, but that's neither here nor there. Since he doesn't pass  either, I don't think we'd lose anything by maintaining standards and deleting this article

Comment: or '''Redirect''' to Salisbury, Maryland. The subject of this AfD has received passing mention in multiple non-primary reliable sources, however it can be argued whether or not those multiple mentions would add up to |significant |in-depth coverage of the individual himself, and thus  &  notability is debatable. Most of the mentions could be argued to be |routine coverage of the sources local to the city which the subject is mayor of in the course of his duties in elected office. As the city is not a major city the subject is not automatically notable as stated at POLOUTCOMES: {{quote|Municipal politicians are not inherently notable just for being in politics, but neither are they inherently non-notable just because they are in local politics. Each case is evaluated on its own individual merits. Mayors of cities of at least regional prominence have usually survived AFD, although the article should say more than just "Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville". Mayors of smaller towns, however, are generally deemed not notable just for being mayors, although they may be notable for other reasons in addition to their mayoralty (e.g. having previously held a more notable office).}} However, there is  which states: {{quote|Politicians who (a) represent a historic first, such as the first woman, first person of colour or first LGBT person elected to a municipal government, ...}} Therefore, per POLOUTCOMES I cannot support deletion due to the historic first. That being said the subject may only be locally notable, and thus  should be considered, and as such an alternative to having a standalone article, as the first quote of POLOUTCOMES advises against, which is contradicted by the second quote, is to redirect the the article to Salisbury, Maryland#Government. The verified information of the locally notable first can be added to this section, and if the subject received in-depth coverage the article can be recreated
