Steen Christiansen (politician): As always, mayors are not "inherently" notable just because they exist, and instead the notability test for a mayor hinges on the ability to write and source some genuine substance about their time in office: specific things they did, specific projects they spearheaded, specific effects their mayoralty had on the development of the town, and on and so forth.  But existence is the only notability claim being attempted here, and the article is referenced entirely to primary source directory entries that are not support for notability, with not a whit of coverage in media or books shown at all.  Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced considerably better than this.

Jamiebuba ( talk ) 20:28, 19 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : As the creator of the article, I don't know if my opinion matter, but if it does, here goes.  This is a translated article from another wikipedia article.  The article on the other wikipedia exists and hasn't been deleted, and I don't see why there should be different standards for Wikipedia based on language.  There are multiple articles referring to the politician, and for me this is enough reason to have an article about him.  He is mentioned on Albertslund Municipality , 2021 Danish local elections , and 2021 Albertslund municipal election .  I think it's unfortunate to mention a person in so many articles but not give readers a choice to learn more about him.  For the references, I can acknowledge that there are a lack of perfect sources, but to "solve" that someway through, I think adding a note informing that this articles may need better sources, could be an idea, and this could make way for editors focusing on importing future articles about him onto the pages.  Thomediter ( talk ) 21:02, 19 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The fact that another article in a different language of Wikipedia exists has no bearing.  In fact, I have found the English Wikipedia editors and admins having a much stricter guideline.  It could also be because other languages, usually have fewer editors than English, hence there is less of a chance of deletion on them.  Upper Deck Guy ( talk ) 18:29, 20 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Please read WP:WAX , which explicitly points out that "this is a straight translation of an article that exists on another language Wikipedia" is not a valid keep argument in and of itself.  Bearcat ( talk ) 19:54, 20 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete I have to agree with the nom.  He/she is right on point.  Upper Deck Guy ( talk ) 18:37, 20 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete per Bearcat's argument - local politicians have to be more notable than just being politicians for English language wikipedia.
