Although there were certainly some problems here, they're for the cleanup brigade to fix and not for AFD — San Antonio is one of the largest cities in the United States, and thus its mayors have a clean pass of  #3 as soon as ''any'' significant RSability exists. Mayors of small towns need nationalized coverage to clear the bar — but mayors of major metropolitan cities, where the local media outlets ''are'' the higher class of sourcing that we would seek to help establish notability for anybody else, do not. Problematic content, like BLP issues and/or advertorial/PR spin, can be dealt with through the normal editing process
