Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of selectmen of Freetown, Massachusetts
Wikipedia is |not a directory. There is no "inherent notability" for every selectman from a small town. As a member of a governing committee, a selectman seems less notable than a mayor. Even in modern times, some of the winners only received a few hundred votes.  The past practice in AFD  is summarized at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes#Politicians which says in part: "Municipal politicians are not inherently notable just for being in politics, but neither are they inherently non-notable just because they are in local politics. Each case is evaluated on its own individual merits. Mayors of cities of at least regional prominence have usually survived AFD, although the article should say more than just "Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville". Mayors of smaller towns, however, are generally deemed not notable just for being mayors, although they may be notable for other reasons in addition to their mayoralty. Note that this criterion has not generally been as restrictive as the criterion for city councillors. City councillors and other major municipal officers are not automatically notable, although precedent has tended to favor keeping members of the main citywide government of internationally famous metropolitan areas such as Toronto, Chicago, Tokyo or London
