- Strong keep Townlake said it well. WP:POLITICIAN says "Generally speaking, mayors are likely to meet this criterion, as are members of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city." Chicago is a city of 3,000,000, so its mayor, especially an African-American mayor in a city with a history of racial tension, is very unlikely to unknown or trivial. Lots of hits in google news -- this article just needs better sourcing, which is not an AfD issue.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
