To be far, New Haven isn't exactly a small city — its population surpasses 100K, which is more than large enough that he would be accepted as notable if the article were actually meeting our requirements. But even in cities that size, mayors still aren't deemed "inherently" notable just because they exist: getting them over  #2 is a matter of writing a ''substantive'' article about their political ''importance'', referenced to ''significant'' press coverage above and beyond just routine verification of his vote totals. But this basically just states that he exists, documents a bit of background information about his educational history without saying ''anything'' about his political career, and cites just two pieces of routine local coverage about his placements in election primaries and his own |self-published campaign website. This is not how you demonstrate that a mayor is notable enough for inclusion — even in larger cities, an article about a mayor has to be substantive and well-referenced, not just verify that he exists, to be includable
