Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Local Baron
after looking through some sources are not about Romania (just clicked on the links at the top), it's clear that "local baron" is a juxtaposition of words common in English and used in many contexts outside Romanian politics. E.g. it's used to refer to mayors in http://books.google.com/books?id=A2GIi8JSvUsC&pg=PA168&dq=%22Local+Baron%22+-inpublisher:icon&as_brr=0&cd=6#v=onepage&q=%22Local%20Baron%22%20-inpublisher%3Aicon&f=false Western Europe or http://books.google.com/books?id=6Ns9AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA210&dq=%22Local+Baron%22+-inpublisher:icon&as_brr=3&cd=1#v=onepage&q=%22Local%20Baron%22%20-inpublisher%3Aicon&f=false Asia. The contemporary Romanian application does not appear unusual, not even in its metaphoric aspect. So, I'd say delete as mere : people understand what the attribute local in front of baron means. Even adding this info to baron seems totally superfluous
