Completely unsourced WP:BLP of a mayor, in a place not large enough to confer an automatic presumption of notability on a mayor. She could certainly still get an article if she were sourced well enough to satisfy the "who have received significant press coverage" part of our criteria for local officeholders, but she isn't entitled to keep an unsourced article. As written, this just states that she exists, and then bulletpoints a pair of résumé sections for committees she served on and awards she won -- and none of the awards are notability-conferring ones either ("Ontario Crime Control Commission Award of Excellence"?) Simply put, this article shows neither the sourcing nor the substance needed to make her notable for Wikipedia purposes. Bearcat (talk) 17:14, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or move to draft space. At this point, there is not enough sourcing to meet WP:GNG. There could be a claim that the subject, a mayor of Caledon, Ontario, population 53,000 (in 2017) may have sufficient sourcing to warrant an article. However, at this point, the only reliable sourcing is a lengthy article in Toronto Life that describes her battle against development within her city, and several pieces of local community news. I am not sure the article could be improved to meet WP:GNG from what I found, but there could be enough for an article with more research. --Enos733 (talk) 01:37, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Only claim to notability is as former mayor of town of 60,000. Unreferenced BLP. --Lockley (talk) 21:31, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as per nom, searches did not turn up enough to show they pass WP:GNG, and they certainly don't meet WP:NPOL. Could have been prodded as an uncited blp.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:37, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was created before the cutoff date for unsourced-BLP prods, so no, it couldn't have been prodded. Bearcat (talk) 16:01, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
