Deletion of W. W. Patterson

Comment: It is reasonable to hold anyone with a "biographical sketch" in the following book |notable. ''William Henry Perrin, J. H. Battle, G. C. Kniffin (1888) "Kentucky: A History of the State, Embracing a Concise Account of the Origin and Development of the Virginia Colony ; Its Expansion Westward, and the Settlement of the Frontier Beyond the Alleghanies : the Erection of Kentucky as an Independent State, and Its Subsequent Development''. Louisville & Chicago: F. A. Battey

Comment: He's only notable because he was mayor of a small town, and there aren't enough sources to get him past  otherwise. There are many poorly sourced mayor articles for Ashland, Kentucky

Comment: WP:NPOL is not exclusionary here, the way it is for contemporaneous political candidates; it's obviously not met as an inclusionary guideline either.  Regarding , "Kentucky: A history of the state" is one secondary source, and "A History of Ashland, Kentucky, 1786 to 1954" may be another.  Contemporaneous newspaper coverage is a |primary source.  It's not entirely clear whether the Ashland book (by the "Ashland Centennial Committee") is independent, though
