Mayors of townships are not handed an automatic notability freebie just for existing as mayors, but this article is referenced nowhere close to well enough to get her over  #2 ("major local political figures who have received significant press coverage") — and no, being the first woman to hold a not-inherently notable role is still not a notability freebie that exempts her from having to have better referencing than this, either. ''Every'' community that exists ''at all'' will ''always'' have its own first woman or women to have done local-interest stuff, so "first woman to do a not inherently notable thing" is not an inclusion freebie in the absence of a much greater depth and range and volume of sourcing than this.If she'd been the first woman mayor in the history of the entire United States, that would mean something because she would have a lot more coverage, but Wikipedia does ''not'' routinely accept "first woman mayor of her own small town" as an article-clinching notability claim in the absence of evidence that she received much more substantial coverage for that distinction than is being shown here. And none of the other things in Djflem's list mean much either: directly elected mayors, county councils and court surrogates are still not inherently notable roles, so being the first woman in her own local area (but very far from the first woman nationwide) to accomplish those things is still not an automatic inclusion freebie — and having a piece of local public infrastructure named after her is not an instant notability pass for a local politician either, because that would hand a ''majority'' of ''all'' municipal politicians ''everywhere'' a free exemption from actually having to be referenced well enough to pass NPOL #2. Naming stuff after local political figures is just what towns and cities and counties ''do'', not a thing that automaticallly makes the namesake so "inherently" notable that she's ''exempted'' from having to be referenced properly just because a building exists with her name on the front door.No matter what local firsts a mayor or county councillor can claim to represent, the inclusion test for politicians at the local level ''still'' requires them to have a lot more |reliable source coverage ''about them'' than this actually shows: one short obituary blurb, one paragraph about her on one page of a local history book published by a print-on-demand house and three |primary sources that do ''nothing'' to support notability is ''not'' enough to make a smalltown mayor notable ''regardless'' of her gender
