The change of disambiguator for Marlborough from England to Wiltshire follows the title of that town's article: Marlborough, Wiltshire.

Mayor of Doncaster and Mayor of Salford have been omitted so that the question of what to do when a single place has directly elected mayors (such as these two) and civic mayors (for which see Civic mayor of Doncaster and Civic mayor of Salford) can be dealt with separately from this nomination. Ham II (talk) 19:59, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose for Mayor of London, not a list article, but about the office itself. —Kusma (t·c) 20:39, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Also oppose for Mayor of South Molton, Mayor of Wigan, Mayor of High Wycombe, Mayor of Dudley. —Kusma (t·c) 09:50, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Support for Mayor of Grimsby and some other pure lists. —Kusma (t·c) 09:50, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Neutral on Mayor of Barnstaple, which is a mix of list and article about the office. —Kusma (t·c) 09:50, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose London and the others listed by & per Kusma; neutral on the rest. Timrollpickering 21:56, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Pinging, , , , and , who all contributed to earlier, related discussions. Ham II (talk) 17:52, 29 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Support the ones that are actually lists. Per several above, that's probably not all, so someone needs to look carefully and refine the list or accept the proposed exceptions. Dicklyon (talk) 18:15, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Support/oppose in same pattern as Kusma.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ &gt;ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ&lt;  00:47, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Support for the ones that are lists. On no account should the plural "mayors" in this sense be capped. (Whereas it might be defensible to write "We had lunch with Mayors Joshi and Smith", though I'd probably downcase in my own writing.) Tony   (talk)  03:59, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose for those that are not just lists, and restore those that are articles about the office. Chemical Engineer (talk) 10:51, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
