Merge and redirect into Fredericktown, Missouri per WP:ATD and WP:CHEAP. While the list is not justified, a few items can be copied to the main article with sources. For example the first female mayor. It's missing in the main. Also references supporting facts. As to why not keep: for me the proof is in the pudding. This list has no items with articles. The low point of the list is the key with colors for tiny parties. Why not just write out the party? If you want to use color, fine, but why make readers look elsewhere, in an unnecessarily lengthy legend? gidonb (talk) 07:30, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete way, way too much detail to merge, not at all justified.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:25, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's why the merge should be selective. Only of a few details. gidonb (talk) 15:10, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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 17 references are not enough? Durindaljb (talk) 18:17, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Durindaljb, I'm responding to whether your !vote is allowed. The short answer is yes. The long answer: you used "bias" here rather loosely. The same drive that caused you to create the article, a deep care for American history, causes you also to want to preserve it. Nothing wrong with that! Au contraire, thank you for caring about American history on Wikipedia! gidonb (talk) 12:47, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
