Delete(weak) WP:POLITICIAN says a mayor will 'usually' count. i.e. will usually generate enough coverage. Adding Provo to the news search above gave me 5 hits (I think it was). Is that 'enough'? David V Houston (talk) 21:00, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]- You'll miss a lot of the coverage if you don't also search for "John Curtis" (assuming you just searched for "John R. Curtis").

- Thanks. Sorry I missed that. Have rescinded my 'delete' !vote. David V Houston (talk) 12:13, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep – I'm seeing significant coverage as I search, turning up articles such as this in The Salt Lake Tribune and this in the Deseret News, as a start. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 03:39, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per above. Meets WP:POLITICIAN and has media coverage without middle initial. --Absenteeist Ⓣ Ⓒ 19:36, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
