Local Mayor - may not meet the notability requirements. I'd like the community's input on this. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 20:53, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete (weak) WP:POLITICIAN says a mayor will 'usually' count. i.e. will usually generate enough coverage. Adding Provo to the news search above gave me 5 hits (I think it was). Is that 'enough'? David V Houston (talk) 21:00, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • You'll miss a lot of the coverage if you don't also search for "John Curtis" (assuming you just searched for "John R. Curtis"). Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:42, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks. Sorry I missed that. Have rescinded my 'delete' !vote. David V Houston (talk) 12:13, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep – I'm seeing significant coverage as I search, turning up articles such as this in The Salt Lake Tribune and this in the Deseret News, as a start. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:39, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above. Meets WP:POLITICIAN and has media coverage without middle initial. --Absenteeist Ⓣ Ⓒ 19:36, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
