COI created by subject of article. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 16:38, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom; subject also fails WP:NPOL. Chris Troutman (talk) 16:48, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Elected mayor of a city of nearly 350,000 people. That's big enough to get over the WP:POLITICIAN high bar, for my money. Carrite (talk) 15:27, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - No valid rationale for deletion presented, this might be speedy-keepable unless that is corrected. Carrite (talk) 15:28, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Carrite:I re-read NPOL and I looked at WP:POLOUTCOMES just to be sure, so perhaps you might better explain what you're talking about. NPOL says international, national, and province-wide officials are presumed to be notable. For "local" politicians it qualifies the presence of "significant press coverage" straight out of WP:GNG, which this subject fails. POLOUTCOMES says "Mayors of smaller towns, however, are generally deemed not notable just for being mayors" and Paynesville, Liberia isn't what I'd consider an "internationally famous metropolitan area". Even if she were mayor of Monrovia proper I'd question presuming notability. The article itself reads like puffery and half the "references" are from YouTube. This is definitely not a speedy keep and I'd argue WP:NUKEANDPAVE if it were. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:58, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't call 350,000 a "smaller town." Additional notability hook related to gender and age. Carrite (talk) 20:53, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Was she actually "elected" mayor? The article says she was appointed "acting" mayor in 2012. I would like some more information as to whether she is still mayor, and whether she was ever elected. St Anselm (talk) 19:44, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. First of all, she is still "acting" mayor.[1] Secondly, Paynesville is a city of 400,000.[2] Thirdly, she seems to pass WP:GNG regardless of WP:POLITICIAN.[3][4] St Anselm (talk) 05:14, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The city is large enough to give its mayor notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:12, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
