The result was redirect to Aredale, Iowa. Leaving a redirect seems reasonable here Kevin (talk) 11:54, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Small town mayor with no strong claim to notability under WP:POLITICIAN. According to the town's article, it had a population of just 74 in the most recent census, and Mr. Minnier won with a grand total of 24 votes (and that's not the margin of victory, either, but his actual vote total — there were just 32 ballots cast overall.) Although he does seem to have garnered a bit of human interest coverage on account of being a young man who defeated an incumbent in his 70s, it still falls far short of constituting actual sustained notability — after all, he's still the mayor of a town with fewer residents than most individual apartment buildings, and Wikipedia normally requires a town or city to have a population in the tens of thousands before we even begin to seriously consider whether its mayors might be notable enough for inclusion here. Looks like a delete to me, I'm afraid. Bearcat (talk) 23:36, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect- To Aredale, Iowa, where his election is already appropriately covered. Stand alone article not yet justified per WP:Politician, currently WP:BLP1E, but sufficient coverage to justify inclusion as a valid search term redirect. Dru of Id (talk) 01:58, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm also willing to support that solution as well. Bearcat (talk) 17:57, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect, or delete. Once appeared on Tonight Show as a joke guest. Puh-lease. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 20:24, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
