Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lizette Parker (2nd nomination)
She was not one of the first African American women to serve as mayor in the US — holy hell, she wasn't even ''close'' to that — or even in her own state; the article's only claim is that she was the first African American woman mayor in her own ''county''. But a historic distinction that's limited to her own ''county'' is not a notability freebie — ''every'' place that has mayors at all will ''always'' eventually have its own local "first member of X group" mayor for virtually ''every'' possible value of X, so that isn't a magic notability bullet if the historicity of the distinction doesn't break wider than just her own local area. She would have to be |reliably sourceable as significantly ''more'' notable than most other smalltown mayors — which the sourcing here is not showing, as it's limited almost entirely to the routine obituaries in her own local media that every mayor of everywhere could always show when they die. The only very slight evidence of beyond-local notability here is the fact that one citation is to ''The Root (magazine)|The Root'', a more widely-distributed and widely-read publication — but even that citation is just a short ''blurb'', not genuinely substantive coverage, so it's not a magic GNG pass all by itself
