Racine is certainly large enough that a mayor could get an article if he could be shown to have garnered substantial media coverage per  #2 — but at 78K, it's not large enough that a mayor would be automatically presumed notable just for existing. The sourcing here isn't cutting it for the purposes of , however: of the seven sources here, one (Ballotpedia) is a |primary source that cannot aid notability at all, one is a newspaper article where he's the bylined ''author'' of the piece and not its ''subject'', and two are glancing namechecks of his existence in articles that aren't ''about'' him. Which leaves just three sources that are actually about him in any substantive way — but three sources aren't ''enough'' to pass NPOL #2, because ''every'' politician at the municipal level of government could ''always'' show three sources. At this level of government, the key to getting him past NPOL is to write and source something ''substantial'', not just to be able to demonstrate that he exists — but "he exists" is about all this article, as written and sourced, is actually showing
