Fails WP:NPOL, WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. Subject isn’t inherently notable based on NPOL nor passes any of the other basic and general criteria. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 15:52, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"First member of [underrepresented minority group] to do a not-inherently notable thing in one specific local area" is not an instant notability freebie. The notability test for mayors hinges on having a significant volume of media coverage that enables us to write a substantial article about his political impact, and identity criteria such as age or ethnic background (or gender or sexual orientation, where those are applicable) don't exempt a mayor from having to pass that test all by themselves.
