WP:POLITICIAN. media coverage reflects things he has said as Council Mayor rather about him as a person. LibStar (talk) 04:46, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply

- Comment. I am unable to find any personal biographical details about the subject, however, ]
- Keep - A stub about a mayor, who is inherently notable according to our standards. Expand and improve rather than delete. Cullen328 (talk) 06:35, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- from WP:POLITICIAN "Mayors are likely to meet this criterion" however, it does not say always. I don't see how this person in particular does. LibStar (talk) 06:58, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - this is non-trivial coverage from reliable third party sources. I'm not sure what the nominator means by "things he has said as Council Mayor rather about him as a person". Most of the coverage of Barack Obama involves what he has said and done as President. StAnselm (talk) 06:13, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- there is a lot of coverage of Obama's career, education, childhood, personal views: can you find even 5 sources discussing any of these matters of Van Zatten? Prove me wrong. Mayors make announcements all the time, that isn't enough to make a WP article. LibStar (talk) 07:15, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Not all mayors are assumed notable, but the mayor of a city of 100,000 is. Mayors of large cities are presumed notable because coverage about them can almost always be found. And sure enough, in this case there are plenty of hits at Google News [1] ranging from the Tasmania Examiner to ABC News. The article is a stub but that is not a reason to delete it, see ]
