[edit] Gene Goodwin
No assertion of notability, seems to be just another small town mayor, even if he served a long time (and the article doesn't say whether he did or not) that alone isn't reason enough for an article. The article doesn't imply he was the longest serving Illinois mayor and if I remember correctly from recent Chicago Tribune articles the longest serving Illinois mayor just died. OK, the AP will do, even if it is via FOX News: [1] Also, Rootsweb.com doesn't strike me as a reliable source anyway. All in all this subject does not merit encyclopedic inclusion.

- Delete. The article doesn't say how long Goodwin served as mayor of the obscure small town of Gays, Illinois, but I doubt he received enough news coverage or generated enough attention from reliable sources to justify having an article about him under WP:BIO. --Metropolitan90 04:34, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete but I would like to see an entry for the Gays Double Decker Outhouse. Capmango 06:35, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
