Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thomas E. Caldecott
The highest office this person held is mayor of a midsized city — which means that he could have an article if he could be referenced well enough to clear  #2 ("major local political figures who have received significant press coverage"), but it isn't a strong enough notability claim to guarantee him an article in the ''absence'' of solid sourcing. Mayors are no longer automatically presumed notable just because the city they were mayor of eventually surpassed an arbitrary population cutoff — the notability test for a mayor is the ability to write and source a substantive article about his political ''impact'', not just the ability to verify the names of his wife and kids, so one obituary in the local newspaper upon his death is not enough sourcing to get a mayor over the bar all by itself
