List of largely non-notable mayors of a city of 30,000 people. Lacking secondary sources, also particularly lacking non-local sources per WP:AUD. Fails WP:NLIST AusLondonder ( talk) 23:42, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

- Delete or Merge into Langley, British Columbia (city). Does not warrant its own article. YordleSquire ( talk) 15:56, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete or merge per YordleSquire. The city's too small to rate a separate list. Clarityfiend ( talk) 22:42, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination. BottleOfChocolateMilk ( talk) 02:40, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete I'm not sure it's necessary to merge. On the one hand I hate to lose the information, on the other hand, the article appears cited to a single source so is simply proxying for it. Chetsford ( talk) 02:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. This is a list of almost entirely non-notable people — the only two who actually have Wikipedia articles both have them for having gone on to serve in the provincial legislature later in their careers, not for having been mayors of Langley per se — and it's referenced principally to the city's self-published list of its own former mayors rather than independent third-party sourcing. Merging into the city's article would also be acceptable, but it doesn't meet the standards necessary to qualify as a standalone list. Bearcat ( talk) 14:42, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. only primary sources used, and almost all mayors on the list do not meet WP notability threshold to believe that someday they will have articles created in their names. Lokotim ( talk) 17:32, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
