Living Mayors of San Francisco

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

At the deletion debate for Earliest living Mayor of San Francisco it was mentioned that this should be deleted too. I agree. This is trivia, and in the unlikely event that this info is needed one could refer to List of mayors of San Francisco. Delete. TheCoffee (talk) 08:18, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. This is a content-fork of list of mayors of San Francisco in the sense that all the information can be derived from the content of that article. More importantly, I see no evidence that this particular presentation of the information is in any way notable. If there were a significant number of sources talking about the number of living SF mayors as a function of time then that would make it a topic worthy of its own treatment: as far as I can tell, there are not.

 * Delete This is the difference between "trivial" and "trivia". It works like this-- on the day that a mayor was sworn in to office, there were former mayors who had not yet passed away.  The analog to the U.S. presidency would be that when Barack Obama was inaugurated, there were two Bushes, Clinton and Carter alive.  That type of factoid is barely tolerable with Presidents and Prime Ministers, and is of no conceivable use even for an afficionado of San Francisco history.  This one was probably more fun to write than it was to read, answering a question that nobody is asking.  Mandsford (talk) 12:45, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Olaf and Mandsford make highly convincing arguments. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  20:53, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
