Deletion of Current leaders of Seattle

Comment: to List of elected officials in Seattle to salvage, as with List of elected officials in Los Angeles and List of elected officials in Bakersfield, California. The criteria are clear: all the http://www.seattle.gov/elected-officials officials elected in the City government, plus those representing city residents at other levels of government. Also the Port of Seattle commissioners and the school board. A similarly defined category is also a good idea, per . Whether a government body's chief executive, chief of police, judges, and others are elected or appointed is a defining characteristic so it's meaningful to enumerate them, and to be able to compare what's elected and what's not between cities.Navigation tools like {{tl|Seattle Government}} are fine as far as they go, but they're defined to include appointed officials like police chief or Seattle Public Utilities director, while excluding other elected such as the school board and Port of Seattle commissioners. The elected officials representing the city are a unique class worthy of a list. I'm surprised there aren't more lists like List of elected officials in Los Angeles

Comment: per  and permanence principle: The title, as it stands, seems to be the sort of time-restricted thing that Wikipedia tries to avoid, at least as a goal.  Having the word "current" in there practically guarantees the content will become false once a year or more, rather than merely incomplete.  There's a long-standing principle on Wikipedia of article content not being temporarily true on Wikipedia: see, for example, Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch#Relative time references, Wikipedia:Notability is not temporary, , .  That sort of constant churn should be left to Portal:Current events, and those folks shouldn't have to keep up on local city events to update articles.  It could also be in a navigation template, except that most of the people there would not be separately notable.  Also, this seems to violate : A list of all Seattle mayors or something might be in scope; but a current directory is not: Anyone can get the current list from city hall, and if they're not important enough to stay in an article for the next 100 years, they're not important enough now
