Deletion of Lorenzo W. Elder

Comment: The nomination's argument is classic  but "''Notability isn't determined by something's quantity of members, but rather by the quality of the subject's verifiable, reliable sources.''"  We have a guy currently at RfA who has been working for years on Snezhnoye, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug|a place with a pop of just over 300 and most everyone seems to think that's wonderful

Comment: As a major local political leader, with ample coverage in reliable and verifiable sources to establish notability. Despite its size, Hoboken punches far above its weight, drawing a disproportionate level of coverage from New York City and New Jersey newspapers, as evidenced here and in the article for the present mayor, Dawn Zimmer.

The additional failure to combine a series of such AfDs all based on the same rationalization raises further issues
