 * Delete per nominator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:34, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Biased Keep Yeah, I created this. I'll vote keep -- if a biased vote is even allowed.  It's history.  Most big city mayors, except a few very big city mayors, are rather non-notable.  A few American mayors have been state representatives are something like that or perhaps the relative of a more famous person, but that's about it usually.

 * Additional I am not sure why there is a sudden fury to delete several articles that I created and have been around in wikipedia for the past 7 1/2 years! I guess I really wasted countless hours of time with this project. Over 47 references are not enough? Durindaljb (talk) 18:19, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * If you want this article to be kept, you have to adequately explain why. Have you read Articles_for_deletion? I also think you should look at WP:IWORKEDSOHARD, WP:LOTSOFSOURCES, and WP:LONGTIME. LPS and MLP Fan (Littlest Pet Shop and My Little Pony Fan) 20:50, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I get that must be quite disappointing. Perhaps some of the sourced information could be merged to Sikeston, Missouri? AusLondonder (talk) 13:33, 25 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete/Weak Merge Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information or a directory. These people aren't notable enough to have articles about them. However, I think that information about some of the mayors could be merged to Sikeston, Missouri along with the appropriate references. --LPS and MLP Fan (Littlest Pet Shop and My Little Pony Fan) 21:06, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete This is clearly an indiscrminate listing of information. Not every place that has had mayors needs a list article for all mayors.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:38, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:LISTN. Not one notable politician on this list. KidAd  •  SPEAK  19:16, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * That's a pretty severe misunderstanding of how WP:LISTN is meant to be applied -- look at the second entry at WP:CSC. Every entry failing notability is a reason to have a list, not a reason not to have one. Elli (talk &#124; contribs) 00:00, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Fundamentally, the core purpose of a Wikipedia list is to help people find Wikipedia articles. To be fair, a list doesn't necessarily always have to be completely bluelinked entries — in a closed-ended and finite list, such as a list of mayors of a place, there is value in the list being complete even if not everybody in it actually has an article to link to — but a list does always still need to have at least some bluelinked entries in it to be justifiable.
