Mayor of Highland Park, New Jersey

[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Table full of redlinked listings; all but one lack articles. As such, this appears to fail WP:GNG as well; the news articles consist basically of election results, which doesn't attribute notability in the Wikipedia sense to this list. Imzadi 1979 → 02:41, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Highland Park, New Jersey. We had an article like this in the past and it was merged. Dough 48 72 13:54, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I started a new article on Meryl Frank, a second former mayor who was notable, as per WP:DIPLOMAT. As per WP:POLITICIAN, mayors aren't automatically notable. But some mayors have other factors that make them notable.

Are those who favor merge or deletion suggesting that if a larger percentage of the former mayors were themselves notable then the list would be notable? Geo Swan (talk) 02:58, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The office of Mayor isn't notable in the Wikipedia sense, even if a couple of individual prior holders of that office might be. Imzadi 1979 → 12:13, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Highland Park, New Jersey. Dough is on the money. Carrite (talk) 01:57, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP is not a directory of historical office holders. No real need to list them in the city's article either. Kitfoxxe (talk) 02:18, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
merge , but this are highly appropriate and even necessary information in the article on the community. For any group or community, the list of its successive chief executives is basic content, with the ones who might be individually notable linked. Any article on a subject like this without a complete sourced list is incomplete. Historical office holders are as important to an encyclopedia as those in place at the moment.

Thinking again, you are right. Include in the town's article. Kitfoxxe (talk) 04:37, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
