Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jon Kinsey
without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better than this. I would caution that Kinsey's mayoral term took place from 1997 to 2001, which means a Google search would not be ''expected'' to turn up much (or any) coverage — to properly establish whether he passes  or not, we would need to dig into ''archived'' sources, such as news retrieval databases or microfilms, and/or books. While it's true that there is no automatic notability for all mayors, Chattanooga most certainly is large enough that a properly sourced article about a mayor would be kept — and those sources don't have to extend outside his term, either, but merely have to address his mayoralty more substantively than just "he existed". But "he existed" is admittedly all that's actually present here, and improved sourcing needs to be ''shown'' to exist, not just ''presumed'' to ''probably'' exist, before "notability is determined by the existence of appropriate sources, not necessarily their presence in the existing article" (some editors' favourite choice of tactics to derail an AFD discussion) becomes a valid argument. So if somebody can find the sources to do better than this, then by all means go right ahead — but this isn't cutting it for making a mayor notable enough as things stand right now
