List of mayors of Gotham City

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Gotham City is notable, sure, but its mayors do not inherit notability; their relevance as a group is not even discussed (i.e. more than name-dropped) in their parent city's article. Fails WP:LISTN, WP:NOT and appears WP:INDISCRIMINATE (check for the words "unknown", "unnamed" and "presumably", as if trying to list all mayors). – sgeureka t•c 15:35, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Delete or merge?
 * Delete or merge. This comic-cruft list fails NLIST/GNG. It can also be merged into the article about the ficitonal city. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 16:39, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Why do we need to list all of the non-notable mayors of a fictional city? &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 18:49, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Obviously a creation of the Joker. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:14, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete This is another case of taking the matierial too seriously for the sources. The changes in mayors seem to have as much to do with the creators not caring to keep this detail consistent as anything else.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:50, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: cruft.--Jack Upland (talk) 03:35, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: Let this page stay. This is the only place to detail the Mayors of Gotham City that don't appear in the comics. If the decision is merge, then the Mayors of Gotham City section for Gotham City should be expanded with this information. --Rtkat3 (talk) 21:14, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge, both per WP:SOFIXIT. ミラP 22:17, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. In my view it is WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Comic-cruft list. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 01:49, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Fails LISTN. buidhe 03:17, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Obvious WP:FANCRUFT. Ajf773 (talk) 08:29, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Trivial, unnecessary list. TTN (talk) 12:04, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:LISTN. There is really nothing that should be or needs to be Merged, as almost none of the information here is sourced to anything but primary sources.  Rorshacma (talk) 16:49, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. If you have to depend on the comics themselves as primary source referencing for their own content, because there's no evidence of any independent reliable source attention being paid to these characters in real media to contexualize their significance outside the comics' own internal universe, then by definition they're not notable enough for a Wikipedia article.

 * Delete,What is the use of this list is not known.Fails WP:LISTN Alex-h (talk) 09:49, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Sorry to pile on but definitely delete Dartslilly (talk) 02:28, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm intentionally piling on just to voice my opinion that this makes absolutely no sense as a Wikipedia list per NLIST/FANCRUFT. I also want to WP:TROUT that relist. The relist followed by an immediate keep !vote should be frowned upon. SportingFlyer  T · C  02:05, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
