obviously without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better. At the time this was first created, we extended an automatic "inherent" notability freebie to all mayors of any city with a population that exceeded 50,000 — which Green Bay obviously does — but that's since been deprecated, and making a mayor notable enough for inclusion ''now'' requires getting him over  on the ''sourcing''. Additionally, what's required is substantive content ''about his mayoralty'' — specific things he did as mayor, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his leadership had on the development of the city, etc. — and the ability to verify biographical trivia like where he went to high school and the names of his family members is not how you do it. But this is the latter, not the former, and its sole footnote is a directory that is not a notability-making source. To be fair, a person who served as mayor in the 1970s is not going to have sources that Google well — they'll mainly have to be retrieved from newspaper archives, microfilms and/or books, rather than sitting out in the open on the web — but to get a mayor kept in 2021 the necessary sources have to be ''shown'' to exist, not just presumed to ''probably'' exist
