Landeshauptmann
Delete. Landeshauptmann is just the German word for president of the state government. A Landeshauptmann in Austria does not have any special area of responsibility or importance than presidents of provinces in other countries. There is no article about Landesregierung (German word for state government) either. This is no dictionary. (Never mind the article's current condition. In case we decide to keep it, I will rework it to be as informative as possible, which is not much.) Dreadlady 19:01, 26 February 2006 (UTC) I just noticed that there are articles like Landtag and Bürgermeister as well. In this case, Landeshauptmann is absolutely legitime and the article should be kept. I still think German political duties should be handled differently, but this is not to be discussed here (see German-speaking Wikipedians). I'm sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.

 * Keep, can be expanded into a useful article mostly about the functions of the Landeshauptmanns by using information from de:Landeshauptmann. Kusma (討論) 19:13, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * My main concern still is that Landeshauptmann is no unique form of political duty. As I said it is simply the president of the state government. It appears more useful to me to keep the article under a different (English!) name. Dreadlady 19:27, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * So would you like to merge this into States of Austria or rename it to Governors of Austrian states or something like that? All of these things can be done without deleting this article. Kusma (討論) 20:42, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd prefer an article like Austrian state politicians, summing up all kinds of state politicians. Seems more useful to me. (Who searches the English Wikipedia for Landeshauptmann?) Dreadlady 23:03, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment according to this page the official translation is State Governor. Bobby1011 00:33, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep with its German name. Anybody researching this particular office of government may use this term. If it were to be exchanged for Governors of Austrian states than the italian province would be ignored. Pages with the english titles could be created, but they should redirect to this one. As for the state of the article, it concentrates mostly on the use of the word, with a special emphasis on the feminist attributes. Obviously its scope should be expanded to encompass more information about the title itself and what the job entails. Bobby1011 00:24, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep by your logic of there being no unique form of Duty Prince of Wales should go. The title obviously exists, so why not have an article on it Jcuk 00:25, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
