If kept, this article needs to be cleaned up pretty well. There are a couple good potential sources about him after he left office: [1] [2] [3] The other articles I can find about him are

WP:GNG, as does his father who was also mayor of Aurora, Paul Tauer, so I'm bringing it here before taking an ax to what's currently in the article. (EDIT: this is an AfD for Ed Tauer ONLY.) SportingFlyer talk 05:33, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply

Delete This is another case of people confusing title for function. Aurora is a council-manager city. The city is run by the city manager, not the mayor. The title of mayor is held by a person elected to that office who is de facto council president, but since he is not chosen as such by the council, may or may not have any power. He is really no more powerful than any other member of the city council. This city is not large enough that council members are default notable, and we lack sourcing to show that he is truly significant. Too often in cases like this people confuse name dropping for actual coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:23, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
