If he had been elected to a federal or provincial body he would certainly be notable. For mayors the situation is less clear. Recent AfD outcomes for mayors have reinforced the consensus that most mayors are not notable; those in charge of major world cities are and others might be for one reason or another, but not just because they were a mayor. It is also presumed that all mayors and other elected office holders will get some press coverage, do interviews etc. But  makes clear that this isn’t enough to make them notable, otherwise more or less all elected local officials would be notable, which they aren’t
