Of the sources listed above by Jaysonsands, one is his profile on the self-published website of the town he was mayor of, which is not a notability-supporting source as it isn't independent of him, while all of the others that I can see (I'm having the same problem as Mccapra with the last one) are just multiple repeat hits of "mayor dies" on March 23, 2021. But the notability test for a mayor does not hinge on how many news outlets you can find to have given him one-shot coverage on the day of his death — it hinges on how much ''career'' coverage you can find ''while'' he was ''alive'', because it has less to do with being able to verify that he existed and far more to do with being able to write a ''substantive'' article about his political ''significance''. Specific things he did as mayor, specific effects he had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. Just showing a one-day blip of coverage on the day of his death just makes him a , and establishing his notability as a mayor requires much more than that
