List of mayors

Local politicians are not necessarily notable, but you may add information to a notable topic article even if that info would not be notable in and of itself. Still, I'm reluctant to add this because the article is already fairly long. But in case it might be useful, on pages 79–80 of this document from the city's website there is a list of the city's mayors from the beginning up to 2008.

See US Cities Guideline, Settlements: Article structure and U.S. municipality notes. No need to add non-notable information to Wikipedia that is easily available. Lists are the worst since the encyclopedia is meant to be prose. Your hesitation was correct. Cheers Fettlemap (talk) 14:06, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV questionable source

"carmelcalifornia.com" is an advocacy group intended to increase economic activities in California and since Wikipedia is not intended to boost tourism, I think its use is questionable. See what that group is about https://www.carmelcalifornia.com/visit-carmel-hid/ Graywalls (talk) 18:15, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional tone

The article on this tourist town is written with a promotional tone of boosterism. Wording like: acclaimed, famous, historic, influential, inspired by, leading, legendary, most notable, numerous, pioneer, pioneering, premiere, prominent, renowned should be cleaned up using independent (and preferably non-hyper-local) sources. Written by a COI editor here to promote Carmel and its inhabitants. I will be cleaning up the article shortly. Netherzone (talk) 13:44, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greg and smatprt have both added considerable amount of things that I consider to be undue/exaggerated importance. Graywalls (talk) 21:00, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are, to some extent, throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I request that these deletions be reversed. -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:30, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have any current reliable sources? Current citations are not high quality. 〜 Adflatuss • talk 13:29, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised that a photo of Tor House was retained while the prose was deleted. And something about the Bach Festival should be restored. Binksternet (talk) 15:33, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
