 * I removed one of the more dubious pieces of opinion-based praise a while back, but it could probably still use more work. ProfessorTofty (talk) 18:07, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Mark L. Mallory → Mark Mallory – Mayor Mark Mallory of Cincinnati does not use his middle initial when signing his name. In addition, he is not publicly known by his middle initial. Removing the "L." from his title on Wikipedia would make it accurate. Cityofcincinnati (talk) 18:40, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. His common name appears to simply be "Mark Mallory", which already redirects here. Jenks24 (talk) 08:32, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

This article needs a major rewrite.
Too much puffery and reads like a campaign pamphlet as stated above.--Guiletheme (talk) 07:27, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Removed "As Mayor of Cincinnati" section
I've removed the entire section that was titled "As Mayor of Cincinnati", as it was far too promotional and non-neutral to be kept. It is better to have very little info on his time as mayor than to have info that is that problematic. Because there may have been some salvageable content, I'm posting the section content I removed below:

As Mayor of Cincinnati, Mallory listed public safety, youth employment, and economic development as some of his top priorities. He is active in the U.S. Conference of Mayors and is a member of the National Conference of Black Mayors which held its 2010 conference in Cincinnati.

Mallory has started Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence or CIRV. CIRV uses statistical analysis to identify and map criminal networks for increased law enforcement, community, and social service attention. The collaborative approach has become the driving philosophy of the entire police department. The program reduced homicides in Cincinnati 16% from 2007 to 2009 and group-related violence declined 36% during that time.

The Mayor ended a decade of stalemate and negotiated an agreement with Hamilton County to develop The Banks, 18 acre of land between the Reds and Bengals stadiums at the Southern edge of Downtown along the Ohio River. The development will be home to shops, restaurants, a hotel, apartments, condos, and office space. The first phase, including 80,000 sqft of retail, 300 luxury apartments, and 1,600 parking spaces, opened in the spring of 2011 with the first restaurants opening and the residents moving in.

Shop 52 and GO Cincinnati are two of Mayor Mark Mallory's economic programs. Speaking about the importance of development he says, "One thing is certain: creating jobs, developing the skills of our workforce, bringing more people to live and invest in neighborhoods, and adding revenue to the city's tax base benefits all 52 neighborhoods." In his first year in office, Mayor Mallory commissioned the GO Cincinnati economic development strategy to guide the City's efforts to create jobs and grow the local economy. GO Cincinnati has helped the City attract several new businesses such as Medpace, Eurostampa, and Rockfish as well as retain and grow existing businesses like P&G, Macy's, Graeter's, Humana, US Bank, FirstGroup, dunnhumby, Kendle, Burke, Inc., and Cincinnati Children's. Cincinnati's aggressive efforts to attract business investment and expansion have helped the city continue to grow despite the national economic landscape.

Mayor Mallory has been a strong proponent of the continued redevelopment in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Led by the non-profit development corporation, 3CDC, dozens of buildings have been redeveloped into hundreds of condos and apartments in the historic neighborhood. In the center of the redevelopment sits historic Washington Park, which is undergoing a $47 million renovation.

As part of his vision for bold projects that will transform the city, Mayor Mallory has championed the construction of a modern streetcar that would connect the city's two largest employment centers, Downtown and the university and hospital area known as Uptown. The Streetcar project will spark development, job creation and growth in the urban core, and help attract and retain young, talented individuals.

Revitalizing city neighborhoods and increasing housing opportunities has been a focus of the Mayor from day one. The award-winning Neighborhood Enhancement Program targets specific neighborhoods for a 90-day blitz of concentrated City services to build momentum for long-term revitalization.

Mayor Mallory developed the Green Cincinnati Action Plan to reduce Cincinnati's carbon footprint and improve the health of the community. The plan is making huge strides in Greening Cincinnati. In 2010, the City introduced a citywide enhanced recycling program that distributed a large wheeled recycling cart to every household. The program also allows households to participate in Recycle Bank and earn points that can be redeemed at local and national retailers. In just the first three months of the program, recycling increased by 36%.

Under the Mayor's leadership, Cincinnati has made major increases in the city's ability to attract conventions and meetings. 2010 was the sixth straight year of growth, up 33% since 2005. With the Mayor's help the region has attracted high-profile conventions like the NAACP, the National Baptists, the largest Hispanic organization in the country: LULAC, the Fraternal Order of Police, the International Association of Firefighters, the Urban League, the American Legion, and the city's largest meeting ever, the 2012 World Choir Games, projected to draw 200,000 spectators and have an economic impact of $73.5 million on the region.

He has won dozens of awards during his decades of public service, including Public Official of the Year from the Children's Hunger Alliance, the Regional Sustainable Leader of the Year from the US Green Building Council, and the Champion's Award from the Cincinnati USA Convention and Visitor's Bureau for his success at attracting convention business to Cincinnati. In 2013, he was one of nine mayors who established July 15 as Social Media Giving Day, encouraging citizens to support charities via social media.

Mallory participated in the second season of Undercover Boss, working with the city's sanitation department, mechanics, after-school program at a community center and parking enforcement officers. This gave him insight to his various departments. – Iago Qnsi (User talk:IagoQnsi) 04:04, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
