Deletion of Richard J. Notte

Comment: he certainly passes the WP:has-an-obituary-in-a-big-city-daily test.

Note also that the article has been here since 2009.  While the standards set forth regarding the size a city needs to be for its Mayor to automatically qualify for notability is useful for easy keeps, the standard is not especially useful in determining whether  the mayor of a smaller city is notable. This one passes

Comment: The "automatic notability because size of city" consideration for mayors applies ''only'' to cities that use the powerful/executive mayor form of government, and ''not'' to weak/ceremonial mayors of places that use the council-manager structure. In that latter type of city, a mayor gets a Wikipedia article ''only'' if he can be really solidly sourced. But this isn't sourced nearly well enough to clear the bar. I would caution Spshu that the "global city" condition applies to ''city councillors'', not to mayors — Spshu is quite clearly trying to do a  backlash against the results on Brohn and McCree, which is not appropriate. But despite the nomination being based on a misguided principle, I can't oppose it because for the reasons I've already stated the actual standard for mayors isn't applicable here either
