• Delete. Southgate MI is not large or important enough a city to guarantee the "inherent" notability of all of its mayors just because they existed as mayors — so the key to making her notable enough for a Wikipedia article is not just to minimally verify the fact of her retirement and the name of her successor, and instead requires the ability to write and source a substantial article about her political significance: specific things she did, specific city-building projects she spearheaded, specific effects she had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. Just stating and verifying that she existed as a mayor is not enough in and of itself, and even just having had something in the city named after her following her retirement — something which is equally true of the majority of people on earth who have ever been mayor of anywhere — still isn't an automatic notability clincher that would exempt you from having to put considerably more work into the article than this.

• Weak delete when I found this in the backlog in January I was hoping that there would have been more coverage resulting from her being the first woman mayor of Southfield from which to build an article. Alas, there wasn't and this was as far as I was able to take it-the points that Bearcat IDed above. It appears that apart from being mayor she wasn't otherwise noteworthy and there's not enough sourcing from which to build an article. StarM 13:58, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
