Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rose Thornton
Mayor pro tem is not the same thing as mayor; it makes the person effectively the ''deputy'' mayor, not the mayor mayor. But deputy mayor of a small town is not an NPOL-passing office, being the first woman to hold that role is not a free ticket to being more special than everybody else who held it before or after her, and the footnotes here do not represent the type of "significant press coverage" that we're looking for: exactly zero of them actually represent press coverage at all. Three of the four are |primary sources which are not support for notability, and even the one that actually is from a newspaper is just her paid inclusion obituary in the classifieds section of the community hyperlocal rather than a journalist-written news article. And even the citations in the Spanish article are still routine ''local'' coverage of the type and volume that ''every'' municipal councillor in ''every'' town or city that exists at all can ''always'' show, not notability-making nationalized coverage that would make her more special than other deputy mayors of small towns.We also do not automatically keep Wikipedia articles just because they happen to be translations of articles on other language Wikipedias, per  — it's remarkably unclear why the Spanish article even exists, because it's not making a strong case for notability as a politician either. Frankly, its existence almost certainly has much more to do with the fact that the Spanish page creator's entire edit history pertains very heavily to Thornton's husband than it does with her actually passing the Spanish Wikipedia's notability standards for politicians — I'd nominate the Spanish article for deletion too, if I could read or write Spanish to do it
