List of mayors of Geelong
Listcruft, pure and simple. Kookykman| (t) e 18:14, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete this list is majority redlinks even the links that are valid are not directed at the correct person, ie James Austin was a famous Toronto, Ontario, Canada businessman - if it is kept for some reason, the title needs to be updated to include state and country information. Weak Keep if it is going to be useful and worked on.--Gay Cdn 18:37, 1 July 2006 (UTC) (update --Gay Cdn 23:50, 2 July 2006 (UTC))
 * Comment Why, how many other Geelongs are there? SM247 My Talk  20:33, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * That's a good question. It would be excessively bureaucratic to move the article to something like "List of mayors of Geelong, Victoria, Australia" as if there are other Geelongs with which this one might be confused. --Jacknstock 22:00, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Well, its a sarcastic rhetorical question. There's no need to disambiguate it because there's only one. SM247 My Talk  08:35, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Geelong is the second biggest city in Victoria and one of the 10 biggest cities in Australia. Australia should not be disrespected like this in my opinion. Ramseystreet 20:55, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as we have similar lists of mayors of other cities. Article should be reorganized by year though. BoojiBoy 22:17, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, but it should be moved to 'Geelong, Victoria, Australia' (or such like) and reoganised into date order with dates added. The links should be corrected where necessary.  Peterkingiron 22:25, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - assume work in progress, at least as worthy for inclusion as many other topics. Links should be corrected; query if many of these people will get their own articles other than a mention here.  I would prefer to see the list organised chronologically.--A Y Arktos\talk 22:40, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as A Y Arktos and Ramseystreet --Bduke 23:15, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, seems to have a lot of activity as a working list for building information. Assigned to a project and clearly defined. Kuru  talk  23:24, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, as per Kuru Grey Shadow 00:06, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep part of WikiProject Geelong, will presumably be fitted out properly soon. SM247 My Talk  00:26, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep and reprimand nominator. Rebecca 00:32, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup links as per above. Personally, I think that the article could do with explanation of the position of mayor of Geelong. Some of these mayors may not be notable but the article could outline them chronologically. These are matters for the talk page rather than a reason for deletion. Capitalistroadster 03:11, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep A useful list. Also, mayors of Geelong are notable so it will aid in further developing Australian content. --Jacknstock 03:46, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions.   -- Capitalistroadster 03:11, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep -- a work in progress. - Longhair 02:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Kuru. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 19:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and re-arrange chronologically, as per Capitalistroadster. QazPlm 00:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with Geelong or City of Greater Geelong. List is too short to warrant own page at present. —Pengo 06:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I think you looked at it when we were in middle of sorting the alphabetical list into the shiny new chronological version. --Jacknstock 04:44, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with City of Greater Geelong. At the moment there is not really any extra info about how the mayoralty system works, etc, so best to merge I feel.Blnguyen | rant-line 07:49, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Note to nominator

 * When in doubt, consider using the notability tag. Ticking off these 'Cats is probably a bad idea... Folajimi 02:56, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
