List of mayors of New Castle, Indiana
List of Mayors in a town of less than 20,000 people.Delete--Aranda56 02:20, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. By itself, I'd agree with Aranda56, but it does link in very nicely into the article for the town.Crypticfirefly 05:10, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. Merge list into New Castle, Indiana and delete.  Merge and delete is valid for this article as it contains no copyrightable material under U.S. law.  It is interesting that mayors of a U.S. city smaller than 20,000 have party affiliations.  In my city of 200,000 mayoral races are nominally non-partisan, although in practice individual mayors do often have party affiliations. Quale 07:30, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, don't clutter main articles with this type of thing. Kappa 12:37, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, these mayors influenced the lives of thousands of people, and they were involved in public education.Klonimus 09:25, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, per Kappa, but no strong objection to merging. At least this list is nicely presented. -Splash 17:02, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into main article. It is customary on many organization pages (government agencies, etc.) to have a chronological list of leaders. MCB 18:59, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * merge/delete per Quale. Sdedeo 21:29, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, mayors of a real place. I would probably draw the line at city council members, but mayors are notable enough.  Zoe 22:17, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, real place, real mayors. What's the problem? older&ne;wiser 22:26, September 3, 2005 (UTC) Addendum, considering the size of the artcle, I've no objection to merging this into New Castle, Indiana older&ne;wiser 03:40, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per above Catzrthecoolest 23:35, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into New Castle, Indiana and delete. There's plenty of room. If someone wants a list of mayors of New Castle, Indiana, they are not going "List of mayors of New Castle, Indiana" but they might well type "New Castle, Indiana." What is the advantage of separating this list from its context? Dpbsmith (talk) 23:24, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - Political leaders of political entities (large or small) are notable. UniReb 23:47, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * And they should be in Wikipedia. But why, exactly, shouldn't they be in the article for New Castle? Dpbsmith (talk) 01:39, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Don't clutter Wikipedia with this sort of thing. Gamaliel 03:28, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep =Nichalp   «Talk»=  10:22, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with New Castle, Indiana. List may be interesting to some people. I don't think that this will be a serious cluttering. Deleting the redirect might be acceptable under the GFDL since this kind of list material can hardly be copyrighted, but the redirect is harmless, so no need to delete that either.

 * Keep Why is this even listed on AfD? SchmuckyTheCat 00:11, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a list about a very specific, very non-notable subject. Some things are simply not needed in an encyclopedia. / Peter Isotalo 19:39, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
