Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Eugene Marsala
Mayors of small towns in the 6K population range are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist — to qualify for an article, he would have to show that he's somehow much, much ''more'' important than most other mayors of places the size of Atherton. But nothing here does that: the article is referenced mainly to |primary sources, such as the |self-published content of organizations he's directly affiliated with, that are not support for notability at all, and the few sources that are actually coming from real media aren't ''about him'', but just glancingly namecheck his existence in the process of being about something else. That's not how you reference a person as notable enough for a Wikipedia article. And no, being a potential candidate for a city council seat, even in a larger city than Atherton, still doesn't get a person into Wikipedia either — if he ''wins'' the special election and thereby becomes an ''actual city councillor'', then yes, New Orleans is an important enough city that he might well qualify for an article at that time, but simply being a ''candidate'' for political office does not get a person into Wikipedia in and of itself. Charles, please note that Wikipedia is ''not'' a free public relations platform on which you're entitled to place yourself for campaign publicity
