List of Algonquin Chiefs

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Prodded by with concern, but deprodded without explanation by. The article is grossly incomplete, the only bluelink is William Commanda, and the only source is a primary reference about one of the listed First Nations. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 00:52, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete as fails WP:LISTN as well as arguments given in the nomination. I found these two sources which give lists of Algonquin chiefs: . These are from the particular nations' websites so, while probably reliable, are primary sources and do not confer notability to this particular list subject.  I've tried to have a look through archive.org at older texts but even in older histories the best I could find was this: . Given how incomplete the content is, I cannot see the use of a merge to Algonquin. If things can be found I'm open to a WP:HEY on this. Vladimir.copic (talk) 01:49, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Just as we don't have articles listing non-notable mayors of small towns, I'm not sure we should be listing non-notable chiefs of small First Nations. If content were to be kept, it belongs at the specific communities' articles like Algonquins_of_Pikwàkanagàn_First_Nation and Algonquins_of_Barriere_Lake, not combined like this.

 * Delete Fails WP:LISTN and is a bad case of WP:REDLINK. It's also pretty WP:INDISCRIMINATE to list all these local politicians by group like this, which is only "helped" by the fact that the article has been mostly unfinished for over 10 years. Newshunter12 (talk) 20:54, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I searched for 10 minutes to find something that would satisfy WP:NLIST but couldn't. Still I'm not very comfortable with a simple deletion of this list. Hereditary chiefs in Canada is a notable topic and we also have Category:Indigenous leaders in Canada. Maybe this could be trimmed of all the red links and merged with List of leaders of indigenous peoples of Canada (which I realize doesn't exist at the moment).VR talk 17:32, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. As Reywas92 suggests, move the existing lists to the article of the particular First Nation in question, such as Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation. Yuchitown (talk) 16:49, 14 November 2021 (UTC)Yuchitown
