Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John A. Degnan
Brewster NY is not large enough to hand its mayors an automatic notability freebie just for existing as mayors, but the referencing here is not doing nearly as good a job of getting him over  #2 as it thinks it is. By far the majority of the footnotes here are glancing namechecks of Degnan's existence as mayor in coverage of other things, not coverage ''about Degnan'' for the purposes of establishing him as the ''subject'' of significant press coverage — and the few that are actually about Degnan in any non-trivial way are literally just the expected campaign coverage in the local media that every mayor of every town and every unsuccessful state legislature candidate can always show. To qualify for an article, Degnan would have to show evidence that he's a ''special case'' of significantly ''greater'' notability than most other smalltown mayors — but that's not what these sources are showing
