Merge into Kennett, Missouri. I don't see any reason to purge the info from the wiki, but this would be better served by cleaning the list into a more elegant table than by just breaking it out into its own page. --fuzzy510 (talk) 13:05, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete most of this information is unsourced. For most cities a list of the individuals who were mayor is more detail than is justified.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:25, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Kennett, Missouri. Merge just a few details. So this list has a member with an article and the city has more than 10k residents. It is something but not enough. I think we need two members with an article (no redirect) at the very least. Better three or more. gidonb (talk) 15:13, 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) 18:16, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment I would argue that most mayors of big cities are notable, depending on your definition of "big city". See Mayor of Los Angeles and List of mayors of Rochester, New York for examples. The mayors of Kennett, Missouri, however, have simply not been shown to be notable. Being the relative of a more famous person is also not related to notability on Wikipedia, so I'm not sure I see your point. --Noahfgodard (talk) 21:46, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge simple list into Kennett, Missouri, per above comments. The information could be useful, but I don't think it warrants its own article. --Noahfgodard (talk) 21:53, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:LISTN. Not one notable politician on this list. KidAd • SPEAK 20:14, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete pop. 10,000 is modestly better than most of these lists, but still a list of not notable people in a small town. Wikipedia isn’t an indiscriminate collection of local data and statistics. Dronebogus (talk) 11:15, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
