WP:BLP of a person whose most substantive claim of notability is as mayor of a municipality with a population of just 2K — not nearly large enough to grant an automatic presumption of notability to its mayors under WP:NPOL. The article, further, is written like a campaign brochure — how long he's been married to his wife, before you've even explained what he did to get into an encyclopedia? — and cites not a shred of reliable source coverage for anything in here. I was actually tempted to speedy it, but the article has somehow survived in this state since 2007. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 23:38, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

• Delete I certainly agree that the article does not show notability as a politician, and while I'm not terribly familiar with the sport, I don't think it meets WP:NHORSERACING either. – Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 19:33, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
