Promotional article and person of questionable notability. Almost entirely unreferenced, the sources that are present are barely WP:RS. Mostly just a list of dates. Article would have to be completely redone to come close to meeting standards. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:52, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
- Note I cleaned up the article a little and removed sections that were just unreferenced lists. Article still loaded with WP:PEACOCK language such as "his exemplanary services", "Because of his matchless performance", "His Honesty and tactfulness and undying devotion to serve", etc. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:57, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
- Delete mayors of places with under 60,000 people need better sources to justify having the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:31, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

- Delete Very few sources which are no more than passing mentions of the subject.--RioHondo (talk) 09:33, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
- Weak keep - arguably, his notability is in longevity in office. Bearian (talk) 22:50, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. When it comes to small places whose mayors don't have an automatic WP:NPOL pass just for being mayors, his longevity in office is certainly a reason why he could be considered more notable than the norm — but the article would still have to be significantly better referenced than this is. (Also, for the record, if the article is improved enough to be kept, it will still have to be renamed to Eugenio Torrento Sr. without "Mayor" in the title.)

- Delete I don't want this to sound disrespectful, but my search for sources shows that the school named after the subject seems more notable than the subject... Not only is referencing minimal, I've not been able to get RS in my search for the subject. Fails S/GNG, irrespective of longevity in office. Lourdes 06:57, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
