Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timothy Dougherty (2nd nomination)
Smalltown mayors are not automatically notable per  — so the notability test that a smalltown mayor actually has to pass is not just that a handful of local election coverage exists, because ''every'' mayor of ''everywhere'' can ''always'' show that. Rather, the bar that a smalltown mayor actually has to clear is that you can write a ''substantive'' article about his political ''significance'' (specific things he did as mayor, specific city-building projects he championed, etc.), referenced to a depth and volume and range of |reliable source coverage that makes him much ''more'' special than the norm for mayors. But there's nothing like that being shown here at all — this, as is so often the case in bad articles about mayors, just reads like somebody tried to rewrite his "meet your mayor" profile from the city's own website rather than making any effort to write an article that contextualized his political significance
