 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A list of holders of a position we don't even have an article for. Fails the guidelines for stand-alone lists. Collaboratio (talk) 13:02, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep They don't all need their own articles. A list can exist for more than just navigation, it can assist because its a valid topic.  Just like we have List of Speakers of the United States House of Representatives and many other such articles.  Lists of those who held a notable office are quite common and very encyclopedic.

 * Keep. List of people who are all clearly notable and should have articles, whether or not anyone has written one yet. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:24, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per Necrothesp. Mccapra (talk) 15:06, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep I think it is very important that Wikipedia includes list of high-ranking government politicians. There are articles about three of the office-holders. No need to delete such an article. I created it and is very well sourced. --Mbakkel2 (talk) 15:37, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Individuals would most probably pass WP:NPOL (even if we don't have articles at present) making this a plausible list of notable people. The position is of some note. Icewhiz (talk) 16:42, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per Necrothesp. --SalmanZ (talk) 21:54, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep clearly passes WP:NPOL and WP:LISTN.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 22:56, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep -- This is clearly a notable position, even if a lot of the potential articles are currently redlinks. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:42, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - clearly a notable position. A rough equivalent in today's world would be e.g. a list of lieutenant governors of a US state.  Daß &thinsp;  Wölf  02:48, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
