 * Comment there's an entire category for different years, and I believe that whatever action is taken must include all of these articles. TSO1D 20:04, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Hmm, taking a look at Category:Lists of colonial governors by year it seems there is quite the list building up here. Seems like somebody has done a lot of work.  Whether or not this kind of page needs to be deleted, I don't know, but I'll need more than "Unneeded page" as an argument.  FrozenPurpleCube 22:02, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Clearly part of a long series, potentially encyclopedic as it develops, let's see where it goes. Plus the modern ones are certainly legitimate and where does one draw the line date-wise? Newyorkbrad 22:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep There really is no reason to remove only one part of a very long series. TSO1D 22:45, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Potentially encyclopedic but needs a lot of expansion. Let's see where this one goes. Grutness...wha?  22:58, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I've extended it a bit, BTW. Grutness...wha?  23:37, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * keep per nybrad & tso. we have lists of leaders etc per year. i'm entirely unconvinced of the utility of this whole genera of lists, but afd of one example is not place to deal with that issue. &rArr; bsnowball  14:47, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
