simply not a notable subject. with references, it could be merged back to the settlement article, which is already pretty dismal itself. John from Idegon (talk) 11:12, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the content should have been added to the Lake Station, Indiana article because a size or content split is not justified. See Wikipedia:Splitting. Waters.Justin (talk) 10:41, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Whether a town or city is eligible for a standalone list of its mayors is not, strictly speaking, a question of the place's size — rather, it's a question of whether the city's article is long enough to warrant chunking some of its content out into subarticles or not. But that's not the case here. And further, the city is not large enough (pop. 12K) to confer an automatic WP:NPOL pass on its mayors — only one person named in this list actually has an article, and even that one article is a slice of deletion bait which contains nothing about him beyond a one-sentence assertion of his existence. So even if this were left in place as a standalone article, it would very shortly become a dead end page with no outbound links. The mayors can be listed in the city's main article if proper sourcing is added to verify the accuracy of the list, but we don't need this. Bearcat (talk) 18:49, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
