Deletion of Martin Cooke (mayor)

Comment: The nomination's argument is classic  but "''Notability isn't determined by something's quantity of members, but rather by the quality of the subject's verifiable, reliable sources.''"  We have a guy currently at RfA who has been working for years on Snezhnoye, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug|a place with a pop of just over 300 and most everyone seems to think that's wonderful

Comment: As a major local political leader, with ample coverage in reliable and verifiable sources to establish notability. Despite its size, Hoboken punches far above its weight, drawing a disproportionate level of coverage from New York City and New Jersey newspapers, as evidenced here and in the article for the present mayor, Dawn Zimmer. Hoboken and its docks / railyards / location across the Hudson River from Manhattan makes its politics draw greater attention to this day. Other New Jersey cities that are of the same size or smaller -- such as Atlantic City and Asbury Park -- merit notability for their elected officials regardless of their size. The nominator appears to have prejudged this AfD based on the city's size and has made no mention or taken any consideration of the reliable and verifiable sources as required by . The further failure to combine a series of such AfDs all based on the same rationalization raises further issues
