Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mayor of Cliffside Park, New Jersey
There are only three pages in articlespace that are actually linking to this list, and it's not a critical or essential link in any of them — two of them are, unsurprisingly, the two people listed here who actually have established notability for other reasons, because one was also a state legislator and the other was an NBA player, but just wait for the punchline that makes one of them even more problematic — while the third is just the "deaths in April 2015" entry for one of those same two people. So none of them have a contextual need for this link to exist — it can easily just be unlinked in all three uses.Now, to be fair, strictly speaking the value of a list of mayors does not necessarily vest in how many of them do or don't already have articles to link to — it's more important that a list of mayors of a town or city be ''complete'' than it is that the list comprise exclusively blue links. So the real problem here isn't the number of red links — it's the fact that the list is ''incomplete''. The first mayor took office in 1901, with no indication of when his term ended. He's then followed by the state legislator, who — time for the punchline — is listed as an ''unsuccessful'' three-time candidate for mayor in the 1920s with ''no'' indication given in either the list or his biographical article that he ''ever'' actually won a mayoral election or served as the actual mayor at all. Then we skip to the 1950s for a person who served as mayor in 1950 and 1951, and then we skip one or more other mayors to land in 1958 — and then the list is complete from ''then'' on, but even then only because one of the next two mayors served for ''50 years'' before dying in office literally just a few years ago.So what we have here is an incomplete list, with just two notable people in it — and one of those two notable people isn't |reliably sourced as belonging in it ''at all'', while the other one is notable far more for other reasons ''separate'' from the mayoralty than he is as a mayor per se. Gerald Calabrese can certainly be mentioned in Cliffside Park's city article — and indeed he already is — but this is mostly unsourced information about mostly non-notable people, along with one additional person who may not even properly belong here ''at all'', which is not a recipe for a list that we need to retain ''either'' by keeping or merging
