Non notable politician. The mayor of a small Bosnian city of 12,000 residents is not something that would be expected to have an article on English Wikipedia. Armin Halitović does not even have an article in Bosnian nor Serbian, Croatian, or any other Yugoslavian language although that would be plausible in those languages. Even some major famous cities in the world with populations in the millions like Phnom Penh or Beirut do not have articles about their mayors let alone why would a small little known city have an article about it's mayor. Also article lacks important sources.--Otis the Texan (talk) --Otis the Texan (talk) 23:13, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Strictly speaking, language isn't relevant to our notability criteria at all — people who can be properly sourced as clearing our notability standards are kept regardless of any debate about whether or not they're as famous among English speakers as they are among their own language community. What's more determinative here, however, is that this person isn't properly sourced as clearing our notability standards at all. The only "references" here are to his own self-published website about himself, not to reliable source coverage about him in media, and the article has existed for ten full years without ever having any better sources added. Further, mayors are not given an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL #2 just because they exist — their ability to qualify for Wikipedia articles is determined by the quality of the sourcing, not by the statement of being a mayor per se. So yes, this is entirely deletable; language just doesn't have anything to do with the reasons why that's true. Bearcat (talk) 17:47, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'd change my tune if sources could be provided in another language, but based on what we have this person does not meet the WP:GNG. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 01:12, 2 April 2018 (UTC).[reply]
