Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Hood Ballantine Cumming
I have no problem with many (most? all?) mayors having pages, given that enough is known about their lives that an article can be written with citations making the article |verifiable, with citations independent of the subject and from different sources ensuring as much as possible that the article does not overly represent a single |point of view, and the connection between citations used to outline the individual's life is clear enough that |original research is not necessary to write the article. This article does, in my opinion, satisfy these Wikipedia:Core content policies|core content policies. There are multiple citations in the article about the subject, so the |golden rule/|notability guidelines seem to be satisfied. I think that most US mayors from the past 100 years and many from before that period will satisfy our policies and guidelines, but I don't think NPOL should change to make these figures qualify, as I agree that there could be mayors where the coverage isn't sufficient to create a page which satisfies our policies, but this page clearly does satisfy them
