Deletion of William E. "Bill" Thornton

Comment: I initially felt that this person did not meet the notability guidelines for politicians and was about to nominate for deletion myself, but when I investigated further, I found enough coverage to suggest that  could be met. I would also support the reinstatement of the material removed from the article in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William_E._%22Bill%22_Thornton&diff=729783340&oldid=729783073 this edit

Comment: Although there were certainly some problems here, they're for the cleanup brigade to fix and not for AFD — San Antonio is one of the largest cities in the United States, and thus its mayors have a clean pass of  #3 as soon as ''any'' significant RSability exists. Mayors of small towns need nationalized coverage to clear the bar — but mayors of major metropolitan cities, where the local media outlets ''are'' the higher class of sourcing that we would seek to help establish notability for anybody else, do not. Problematic content, like BLP issues and/or advertorial/PR spin, can be dealt with through the normal editing process
