List of mayors of Lucknow

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

List which badly duplicates an existing topic. Apart from the addition of the newest mayor who just took office two days ago and took a grand total of three seconds to copy over once I was able to Google-verify that the information was correct, this is markedly less complete than the list of mayors already present in Lucknow Municipal Corporation -- and the other problem here is that the creator has been persistent about trying to force it to the nonsensical title "Lucknow (Mayoral Constituency)", even going so far as to move-war over it again after a full WP:RM discussion moved it to the current and correct title. But Lucknow has mayors because it's a city, not because there's any such thing as "mayoral constituencies", and we already have a more complete list of its mayors in another article to which this isn't adding anything of any discernible value or distinctiveness. It's probably worth keeping as a redirect to the existing list so that readers don't mistake it for a missing article, but there's nothing in the edit history here that's worth retaining or merging — so it should be deleted first and then recreated as a redirect, rather than just redirecting it with the existing edit history kept.

 * Delete and redirect - Per the nominator's argument; fails our list inclusion guidelines. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 00:50, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete since we already have a much better list in the right broader article. Except in a few rare cases, I really do not think stand alone lists of mayors of places are justified. Lucknow might be such a place, but the article on the Municipal corporation is a better place than a stand alone list article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:51, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
