==== Category:Lists of mayors of cities in Canada ====
:* '''Propose deleting''' {{lc|Lists of mayors of cities in Canada}}<br />
:'''Nominator's rationale:''' Category which effectively just duplicates {{cl|Lists of mayors of places in Canada}} for no compelling reason. While it is technically true that towns and villages also have mayors, we actually have very few lists of mayors of places that aren't cities -- between the fact that smalltown mayors are not automatically presumed notable under [[WP:NPOL]] and the fact that small towns much more frequently lack any strong reliable sources to support a list with, very few places smaller than the midsized city level have lists of their mayors on Wikipedia at all. So if this were fully populated with all of the lists of mayors of Canadian cities that we have (which it is ''not'', as it's still missing more of them than it includes), it would simply offer redundant categorization of nearly all of the lists that are already in the parent tree anyway. We don't actually need to categorize "cities" separately from "places" in this context, if very few places that aren't cities have lists at all -- and for the exact same reasons, no other country on earth has a dedicated subcategory to segregate the cities from other kinds of places either. Upmerging not needed, as every list here is already in the appropriate provincial subcategory of the parent. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] ([[User talk:Bearcat|talk]]) 15:28, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
