List of Mayors of the Municipality of Strathfield
Apart form the last handful, of which at least two should almost certainly be deleted as failing WP:BIO (i.e. below the level of significant national or regional elected office), the very few other blue links appear to be unrelated - other people or dab pages with the same name. So: this is a bare list of links, almost none of them actually links. Given that mayors fall below WP:BIO and most of these are too long ago for the usual vanity crowd and electoral agent puffery of current politicos, this list serves no purpose. The full list is available from the linked source, which should be linked form the municipality article, job done. Guy 23:20, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, maybe categorize. Excessive listery, just a list of red/dab links, better served by a link to the site, per nom. --Daniel Olsen 23:48, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I am ambivalent about this given that it seems to have reliable sources. If it were to be kept, we should possibly delink most of them unless they have achieved notability for other reasons. Guy's suggestion about a link makes a lot of sense, however. Capitalistroadster 04:03, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions.   -- Capitalistroadster 04:03, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - on the assumption all data is correct and verifiable. Needs further references. It's on par with a recently AfD'd (but kept) similar article, List of Mayors of Geelong. I agree with the delinking of non-notable's as per Capitalistroadster however. -- Longhair\talk 11:10, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, maybe merge with Municipality of Strathfield as non-links. Certainly seems to be useful and relevant information to me.  Lankiveil 21:39, 29 September 2006 (UTC).
 * Merge to Municipality of Strathfield - I've deredlinked it and changed to 3 columns to make it less imposing. Peripitus (Talk) 09:50, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I've now delinked all entries except for the last 4 which have articles ( perhaps not for long though looking at the last one). This is clearly now just a list that should only exist as either a category or as part of another article- Peripitus (Talk) 09:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep per Longhair. Also I have cleaned up Bill Carney and have appropriately linked back to this list. -- Ianblair23 (talk) 02:44, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 *  Delete  and Merge with Municipality of Strathfield. Why would anyone look this up separately? Also, Strathfield is nice and all but there is no especial claim to notability simply by virtue of being a Mayor or former Mayor of it. Jeendan 02:53, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Your vote should be for a "Merge", not a "delete". (JROBBO 09:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC))


 * Merge - to Municipality of Strathfield as per Peripetus (JROBBO 09:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC))
 * Delete, or, at least, Move content without redirect into Municipality of Strathfield (and before one of the usual suspects delivers a lecture about GFDL violations, it's a bleeding LIST derived from a book). Per Jeendan: why would someone look this up separately from anywhere OUTSIDE the Strathfield page? --Calton | Talk 12:55, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. As a list, its useful. Delink non-notables though. -- I@n 17:26, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. All mayors are notable. Rebecca 01:34, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
