Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gary Burroughs
I was the original creator here, at a time when Wikipedia was a lot looser about the notability of mayors than it is now. Under current standards, Niagara on the Lake is not large enough to automatically get its mayors past , being chair of the regional council doesn't automatically make him more notable than the norm, and the coverage of him doesn't have the depth or range needed to satisfy the ultimate notability criterion for local politicians, "has been the subject of significant press coverage". There was once a time when all that had to be shown to get a basic stub started and presumed notable was that he could be verified as holding the mayoralty of a place that had a credible claim to "regional prominence", but we require quite a bit more than that now
