Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of council leaders in the United Kingdom
This is the kind of thing that seemed like a good idea in theory, but has proven to be largely unmaintainable in actual practice. Although Epluribusunumyall raised US and Canadian examples above, they aren't actually helpful as reasons why this should exist. The US list is based on a specific population-rank cutoff that keeps the list manageable and updatable because it's expressly confined to being a list of just 50 people total, and the US does ''not'' have ''any'' lists of "every currently-serving mayor in an entire state regardless of city or town size" — and while Canada does have lists by province or territory that allow all mayors of every city and town in that province or territory to be listed without size restrictions, there's no editor commitment to keep on top of them in a timely fashion: the big cities whose politics get broad nationalizing media coverage and attention do get updated promptly when there's a mayoral change, but the small towns that receive little extralocal attention at all regularly get overlooked. So their existence isn't a reason why this should also be kept: per , in reality those lists should probably also be deleted due to their maintainability problems.The value in such a list vests entirely in our ability to keep it ''accurate'' and ''current''. If we can't do that, we shouldn't try to curate a dynamically evolving list we can't adequately maintain
