 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Pittston has a population under 8K, so the office is unnotable. I've nominated for Afd three of the five mayors who have articles. One was already nominated, and the fifth was a member of the House of Representatives. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:25, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge a significantly trimmed version of this into Pittston, Pennsylvania. While it's true that the city isn't large enough to hand its mayors an automatic WP:NPOL pass, a basic mostly unlinked list of the mayors' names isn't unreasonable information for us to maintain, so long as it's properly sourced and not a WP:HOAX. It doesn't need to be a standalone list if there's nowhere for it to link besides the city itself and one mayor who cleared NPOL for other reasons — but it's not unreasonable for them to be listed as a subsection in the city's main article rather than as a standalone spinoff.

 * Merge per Bearian. A list on the Pittston page would be a good outcome. Lepricavark (talk) 16:45, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge into Pittston, Pennsylvania per Bearcat. Contents of lists have lower threshholds.--Rpclod (talk) 20:53, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge to Pittston, Pennsylvania as this is not appropriate for a stand alone article. --  Dane talk  01:30, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
