Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Helen Berg
unless somebody can improve the articles. Corvallis is certainly a significant enough city that a mayor ''could'' get in the door if his or her article were substantially well-sourced, but it isn't large enough to confer an automatic inclusion freebie on all of its mayors in the absence of a demonstrated  pass — and while Helen does include a bit more content about specific aspects of her mayoralty than inadequate articles about mayors usually do, that means it's starting down the right path but doesn't mean it's reached the finish line. If all you've got for sourcing is two death announcements and her announcement of her retirement, all in the local media where coverage of mayors is simply ''expected'' to exist, then that's not enough in and of itself. And Alan's even worse, being cited ''only'' to a namecheck of his existence in his wife's death notice rather than any coverage ''about him'', and offering literally ''none'' of the substantive content about his mayoralty (specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects he had on the development of the city, etc.) that would required. The bar for mayoral notability is considerably higher than just being able to offer minimal verification that the person exists or existed as a mayor — it requires a lot more substance, and a lot more sourcing, than either of these articles is actually attempting to show
