The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. This is an unsourced BLP about a non notable mayor of a small town. Cambrassa's argument is refuted by WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, and Dendodge's by the lack of any sources showing notability. It could be argued that there is no consensus, but the delete arguments are more compelling, and further, for low notability BLPs we should be deleting on no consensus rather than keeping. Therefore, by all these arguments, delete. ++Lar: t/c 21:24, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Norridge is town of 15,000 inhabitants - that's twice the size of Totnes! And he is none less than the mayor. Cambrasa 21:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My argument was not that an article on Totnes exists, but that Totnes is a well-know town in the UK, and that this helps us to put Norridge in perspective. Cambrasa 23:00, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Norridge, Illinois. There might be reason to include bio information on that article, but not enough notability for a separate one. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 04:56, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Current mayors are notable. ...... Dendodge.Talk^Help 15:05, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
