Comment: State capitals do not get a special free exemption from having to |reliably source their mayors well enough to clear  #2 — a mayor of Annapolis still has to clear exactly the same standards of notability and sourceability as any other mayor of any other city the size of Annapolis whether it's a state capital or not. But the amount of sourcing shown here, two newspaper articles and his own |self-published campaign website, is ''not'' good enough to get him over the NPOL bar, and the article includes no genuinely noteworthy ''substance'' about his mayoralty beyond the fact of winning the election. This is simply not how you demonstrate that a mayor is notable enough for an encyclopedia article. A mayor's article lives or dies on the depth of substance and sourcing that can be shown to make the article ''good'', not on the size of the city or its status or lack thereof as the capital of anything

Comment: Mayors of state capitals don't presumptively pass , unless they receive significant press coverage, defined by: ''A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists.'' This actually serves to disqualify a lot of local coverage in the same way local coverage of a high school basketball player's coverage is disqualified, even if it were to pass , such as the Capital Gazette articles about him winning elections, et cetera, because this is the type of coverage that can be expected for ''every'' mayor in the entire country. The question then becomes, is Mr. Buckley special in terms of received coverage? He had a special interest story in Australian press because he's originally from Australia, and also in the Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5072493/Australian-Gavin-Buckley-elected-mayor-s-Annapolis.html. He was interviewed after a major tragedy in the town he's the mayor of, but the sources I've seen don't make him notable on his own, as it's not significant coverage of ''him'', but rather the tragic event. He's slightly more notable than your average small town mayor since he's an Aussie mayor of an American town, but once you start looking at sources which significantly cover him, I don't think there are enough sources here to satisfy

Comment: almost qualifying for #3. Annapolis, Maryland|Annapolis—the capitol of Maryland, and for a time of the U.S.—is undoubtedly {{tq|a city of at least regional significance}}, making notability likely per . This is borne out by the existence of hundreds of reliable-source articles of the kind expected for the mayor of a good-sized city: http://www.capitalgazette.com/news/government/ac-cn-annapolis-elections-20170919-story.htmlhttps://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2017/11/08/mike-pantelides-democrat-gavin-buckley-elected-annapolis-mayor/http://www.capitalgazette.com/news/annapolis/ac-cn-gavin-buckley-inauguration-day-20171204-story.htmlhttps://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2017/12/04/annapolis-mayor/http://www.capitalgazette.com/news/ac-cn-gavin-buckley-names-staff-20171205-story.htmlhttp://www.capitalgazette.com/news/annapolis/ac-cn-chief-of-staff-20180430-story.htmlhttps://www.bizjournals.com/baltimore/news/2017/12/22/annapolis-mayor-gavinbuckley-mulls-idea-for.htmlhttp://www.capitalgazette.com/news/annapolis/ac-cn-sharon-kennedy-20180521-story.html, etc. There are also plenty of RS, including in international media, about his role in the response to the recent Capital Gazette shooting: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jun/29/annapolis-mayor-gavin-buckley-hostility-mediahttp://www.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/annapolis-mayor-were-just-horrified-at-what-they-must-have-had-to-go-through-http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/anne-arundel/annapolis/bs-ac-cn-flag-request-denied-20180702-story.html, etc

Comment: I've https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gavin_Buckley&type=revision&diff=853610100&oldid=853496797 expanded the article significantly, relying in large part on two sources, profiles in the http://www.capitalgazette.com/news/elections/ac-cn-gavin-profile-1102-story.html Capital Gazette and https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/the-aussie-mayor-who-wants-america-to-get-tough-on-guns-20180706-p4zptq.html Sydney Morning Herald, that satisfy  #2's standard of being {{tq|written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists
