telling me an article I created had been prod-tagged. (Someone has a
bot set up to do this, now. Good for them)
So, I go to look.
"It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following
concern: As per Wikipedia policy, small-town mayors are not notable
just for being mayors."
Ah, the impeccable timing of coincidence.
Heh. I got the exact same thing last night, myself. A new user by the
name of Noble Sponge has been mass prodding mayors and he hit one that
I'd split off of a disambiguation page. Many of the cities in question
weren't by any stretch of the imagination "small towns", one had over a
million people.
I suspect it is indeed coincidence, though, the prodder hasn't been
trying to use WP:V.
