Comment: This guy is a perfect illustration of why we DON'T presume mayors to be notable - certainly not mayors of smallish cities. He has received almost no independent coverage, and there is nothing to suggest that the coverage is out there if we could just find it. According to , "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". This person has not received significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Claims here that "mayors are notable" are based on ommon outcomes#politicians; however, it states the opposite: "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." In this case, the coverage is lacking for GNG, and we can't assume that it is there. I certainly hope we haven't reached the point where we consider "chair of a sanitation district" to provide notability, and speaking as a Californian I can assure you that the Association of Independent Cities is no big deal

Comment: El Segundo, California|El Segundo, while relatively small, is a very important city to both the region and nation.  It's the location of Los Angeles Air Force Base, the Space and Missile Systems Center, a major Northrop Grumman facility, a huge amount of support services for the adjacent Los Angeles International Airport and the headquarters of DirecTV.  City regulation, tax laws, business incentives and location play a major role in the function and location of these major business and being the Mayor of this city is the center of such a government.  This person also passes  and its  as there has been significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. http://www.dailybreeze.com/general-news/20100421/mcdowells-12-year-tenure-on-el-segundo-council-endshttp://www.insidebayarea.com/california/ci_14059371

Comment: Oakshade has demonstrated that McDowell satisfies |GNG, and I found some more sources for some newsworthy actions as mayor (added to the article), so it is not necessary to consider |POLITICIAN or the inherent notability of being a mayor

Comment: Local boy goes to law school becomes mayor of tiny town. Nice, but zero |notability. Fails . No significant coverage. Only real coverage is in "Daily Breeze," a free, community newspaper. Two articles are written by the same reporter and say exactly the same thing in two different publications
