Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Don Gerard
Regardless of the alleged motives of the nominator, the mayor of a town of 81,000 people is not inherently notable by  and I can't find any significant non-local coverage of his role as mayor (the Google News hits when you add "Champaign" to the search term are almost all from the Champaign/Urbana News-Gazette or the Daily Illini, the newspaper of the University of Illinois, Urbana–Champaign). That leaves his musical activities, which I don't have the expertise to evaluate against ; however, I note that none of the bands he played in has a Wikipedia article and the article's editors (apparently including Gerard himself) seem to consider his music to be less important than being a facilities manager at UIUC, since that's mentioned in the lead and his music isn't. To me, this suggests that he's not notable as a musician
