[edit] Lori Cohen Moseley

Weak keepShe's the mayor, that might assert some notability... --Húsönd 19:12, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Strongest possible keep She's the mayor of a city of 100,000 people. In my opinion that's absolutely no-doubt-about-it notable. Charlene.fic 19:32, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, this is below my threshold of notability as Miramar just isn't a major city (not even in our top 200). Additionally, Miramar has a city manager/city council form of government [1] making the "Mayor" the equivalent of a city council president, definitely not notable. (In such a city, the executive function is performed by the council or commission as a whole.) --Dhartung | Talk 19:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep The mayor of a city of 100,000 people is pretty notable. Dhartung probably has a good point out the mayor's power relative to that of the city council, but come on... compared to the webcomics, forum trolls, and garage bands we usually delete on AfD, just about any mayor is notable in comparison.

Delete. No indication of passing WP:BIO.Keep Local politician withoutsignificant press coverage. Pan Dan 20:57, 7 October 2006 (UTC)- I disagree. All mayors get lots of press coverage, even though most of it is local/regional. "Lori Moseley" gets 578 Google News Archive hits, mostly from the Miami Herald. She's apparently better known without the Cohen part of her name. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:27, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think you're right that the local press coverage is enough for WP:BIO here. Above, I suppose though I was typing the right criterion to apply to local politicians--"significant press coverage"-- I had in my mind the more stringent standard we apply to non-politicians, viz. "The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works..." (my emphasis). Though I don't think she meets that standard, I suppose the coverage of her as mayor counts as "significant" per the criterion for local politicians. Have changed my vote above.

- Fair enough. Looking at the archive results, I definitely see some of them in which she is the primary subject. For example, this one involves some sort of ethics complaint filed against her. But you're entitled to your opinion. I thank you for considering my findings and for having changed your vote. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:25, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

- Keep and expand. The topic and the position are notable and press coverage has been established. Dekimasu 09:57, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, a mayor of a city of 100,000 is notable per se. NawlinWiki 17:53, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
