List of Mayors of Louisville

A complete list with notes, references and a short introduction. Nicely format and a good sample for category:Lists of mayors. -- User:Docu [15:44, 3 December 2005]

Oppose -- the list should contain a majority of blue links. Very few of the mayors have articles of their own. You'd need to create the mayor stubs. Please mention the country in which Kentucky is a state of. =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:17, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Good point about the country, but Wikipedia notoriously doesn't state in which country US states are located in. BTW how did you calculate the red links/blue links ratio? There is a majority of blue links and, IMHO, there shouldn't be a stub for each mayor. -- User:Docu
  True, we have many articles without mentioning the country, and places in the US are notorious for the lack of such. Generally exceptions to this rule are global cities such as Washington DC, NY, LA, Chicago. Regarding the mayors, they are notable, and deserve an article. Additionally if you could go throughprevious featured lists, all have populated links. Generally 80% blue links are considered acceptable. =Nichalp «Talk»= 06:10, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree with Nicholas. Also note that there is a requirement for a list to be "useful". Absent articles with at least basic biographical information on the overwhelming majority of the mayors, I don't see the list as being useful. Some piccis of some of the mayors would also help - certainly some portraits of the earlier mayors will now be out of copyright - and shouldn't "mayors" in the title come absent the capital "M"? jguk 12:45, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose on absence of blue links issue. IMO it's not enough to have an unlinked name to avoid a redlink. A list of people in Wikipedia should generally have all of those people linked which effectively means that each person is at least stubworthy. -- Ian ≡ talk 14:16, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
