A Puerto Rican mayor, and nothing more. I'm pretty sure that one needs to be more than a humble mayor to be deemed notable enough for a Wikipedia article these days Montchav (talk) 19:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Mayors of most US cities have articles about them, and I don't see why Puerto Rican mayors should be treated differently. DJ Clayworth (talk) 18:48, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment. San Germán has a population of only 37,000. I don't think we have articles on the mayors of most mainland towns of that size. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:21, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. I generously extend the standard to mayors of cities 100,000 or above, but not all editors even share that limitation. Well below WP:BIO, and San German is not a major city even in Puerto Rico terms[1]. The mayors seem to all be redlinked in Municipalities of Puerto Rico, which is an attractive nuisance. --Dhartung | Talk 06:31, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, mayor is a notable political post, and demographics for comparison cannot be measured by US standards, US is the third most populous country in the world. --Soman (talk) 18:34, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, if there was proof that he is a mayor such as an article when he as elected I would say to keep, but since the article states only that he is a mayor and offers no proof whatso ever then get rid of it.03:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete -no evidence of notability. Deb (talk) 11:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete the mayor of this community would need something other than his office to achieve encyclopedic importance. --Stormbay (talk) 02:24, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Mayors of cities are notable; the fact that the sources are in Spanish and that the individual concerned is from a non-Western country should not seduce us into systemic bias. Skomorokh 04:11, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per lack of secondary sources via Google. –thedemonhog talk • edits 16:09, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
