List of highest paid mayors

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Although the salaries of each of these mayors is cited, there is no citation given, nor none to be found, indicating that these are, in fact, the highest salaries anywhere. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:04, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * *Delete. The resources needed to prove the claim of the article, "Highest Paid mayors", simply do not exist in a citable form and likely never will. Page deletion is advised. T.I.M(Contact) 21:15, 18 December 2012 (UTC) Moved to support.


 * Keep. For the United States such a list exists http://www.hourdetroit.com/Hour-Detroit/February-2012/Pay-for-Pols/ and the mayors on the list are included for the part that they make it to the top ten. Same goes for Canada who's highest earning mayor just makes it to the top ten. http://calgary.ctvnews.ca/mayor-will-donate-ten-percent-of-pay-1.757628 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Westbird (talk • contribs) 21:21, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * But will justification of the scope of the article ever exist? I mean, the title says it all, "Highest paid mayors". EVERYWHERE. We'd have to find out what every civil executive in every piss water community around the globe makes to back this up for real, and there are entire countries that either do not run with transparent governments or are run by civil commandants, not mayors.

 * Is that really necessary in order to justify the article? on that note most lists of this nature would have to be deleted: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_paid_film_actors There is no way of knowing if the some movie star has made more as many movie star contracts are private. I believe a list can be compiled that will beyond reasonable doubt include the highest paid mayors. Westbird (talk) 21:39, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep on the basis of the source cited by Westbird. The office of "mayor" and the type and level of renumeration, will vary very much in different countries--it is sometimes primarily ceremonial. So dividing the list by country might be good, but there's no point in it while there is still so little material.  DGG ( talk ) 05:18, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
