Insufficient notability: there does not appear to be any significant press coverage of him as a mayor in the Greek language, and Goumenissa is hardly a major city. Google searches ([1] & [2]) turn up a few dozen results, mostly mirrors of the wiki articles or referring to an entirely unrelated professor. Constantine ✍ 03:15, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A very, very low bar for elected politicians, please. They are historically notable even if they aren't filling up the English-language Google hits in 2010. Carrite (talk) 01:46, 6 June 2010 (UTC):[reply]

Comment the problem is that he doesn't fill up the Greek-language Google hits either (the searches above were specifically made in Greek, and they bring up either the bare electoral results, a totally unrelated academic, or wiki mirrors). Aside from the fact that he held office, there seems to be nothing notable on him, and per WP:POLITICIAN that is not enough. A similar discussion in the Greek Wikipedia back in 2008 ended up in deleting the other mayors of Goumenissa for "lack of notability". Karakolis was kept only provisionally, pending a more thorough discussion, which in the event never took place. Constantine ✍ 12:26, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:26, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment what's wrong with redirecting it back into Goumenissa#Mayors of Goumenissa, which appears to be the sole thing he is known for? cab (talk) 05:41, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect notability has not been established. Mayors of such small cities are only notable if they have been covered in depth in reliable sources. This doesn't seem to be the case here, meaning that he fails WP:GNG. He also fails the presumed notability criteria at WP:POLITICIAN. Valenciano (talk) 11:28, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
