Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matthew T. Ryan
I'm a Southern Tier emigrant: I'm interested enough to routinely skim through local news, but distanced enough to not be blinded by civic pride.  does not say any mayor gets an automatic pass. If anything, Juanita Crabb is a borderline candidate for an article, more for her work at Sister Cities International than as mayor in the 80ies. Between her and Ryan, there where about 2-3 mayors whose names I cannot recall. Any press outside of the area for Ryan is most likely to be trivial quotations in the aftermath of April's shooting. 2008 census estimates have Binghamton at 44k+ or just slightly above the average turnout of a Philadelphia Phillies home game
