Non-notable mayor, fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Article is poorly sourced and not enough reliable sources to show notability elsewhere. SportingFlyer talk 17:55, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

- Delete This is a circumstance where being first does not make you any more or less notable; significant coverage and the points made out by NPOL do. Unfortunately, GNG is not met by passing mentions and routine press, and NPOL is not met by an otherwise unnotable office.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 23:35, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. Being first woman mayor of her own small town is not an automatic notability freebie that exempts her from having to show enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:NPOL #2 — but the only cited reference here is a brief blurb, which isn't enough coverage in and of itself to get her over NPOL #2.

- Delete Minco is a place of less than 2000 people. Being the first female mayor of a place with 10 times that many people would not come close to making one notable. For a place this small, being mayor is never, ever going to be a sign of notability. Beyond this, the claim that Rupp was the first female mayor of Minco is totally unverified. The city source does not even mention Rupp at present, other than mentioning her as the publisher of the local paper in the promotional link about that paper, and that mention seems to be saying she wrote that page. In fact, I do not see verfied evidence that Rupp was ever mayor of Minco. The Minco website is clearly a work of non-reliable boosterism, going on about recent increases of population, even though the population in Minco fell between 2000 and 2010. To give the claim of first woman mayor context, we would need to know how long Minco has had a mayor. No sources I see tell us that, and no sources verify the claim to Rupp being the first woman mayor, which even if verfiied would not be enough for notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:47, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
