Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ron Stewart (American politician)
I agree.  My sympathies to the family of Mr. Stewart, but we also have a strict policy against memorials, and the page was created, apparently, from the obituary being in the news.  The criteria under  is that the persons who qualify are "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. Generally speaking, mayors are likely to meet this criterion, as are members of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city."  Frankly, I think that it's too inclusive and inconsistent, and "major" is a matter of opinion.  I don't think it would extend to all cities with populations of 100,000 and up, because there are thousands of cities worldwide that are at least that size.  Anybody who has read a book about Harry S. Truman has heard of Independence, but it's not a major city
