Teaneck is not large enough that its mayors would be automatically notable just for being mayors, and being a place's first woman or first African-American (or first African-American woman) mayor is not an automatic notability boost either. If she'd been the first African-American women to serve as a mayor anywhere in the entire United States, then there'd be a notability case — but if she's merely the first in her own city or county, then that's not a notability freebie in the absence of adequate |reliable source coverage. But the sourcing here isn't demonstrating that she's more notable than the norm, either — it comprises just one verification of the initial election results, some obituaries and one article about a piece of municipal infrastructure being named after her following her death — sources which are no different than ''any'' mayor of ''anywhere'' could ''always'' show. To be considered notable enough for a Wikipedia article, a mayor of a city of just 39K needs to be shown as significantly ''more'' notable than most other mayors of most other cities of 39K — but that's not what these sources are demonstrating
