Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Emperors of Mexico

The list is just absurd, there were only 2 emperors in the history of Mexico, see Mexican Empire. Ruiz 16:24, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. While there were only two emperors who reigned, this list includes five "titular emperors", i.e., pretenders to the throne. Three of the seven people on the list have linked articles already. That makes the list worthwhile. If it really offends you, it could be merged into Mexican Empire, although I don't think that pretenders to the throne really belong in that article.

:This doesn't offend me at all, we just need to add those 4 pretenders to Mexican Empire and voilá. This list is not adding anything, it's a list of two guys. Ruiz 19:14, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, useful if short list. Gateman1997 21:01, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

:encylopedic manner? Oh please...

:# As far as I know, not a single list of emperors includes the pretenders, they are lists of emperors.

:# The list is spurious. There is a guy calling himself Agustin III. A pretender can't call himself Agustin III, when have you heard Prince William of Wales calling himself William V? You are not a king/emperor until you are crowned! Plus, the actual heir to the throne rennounced to all his priviledges and served in the army. I mean... --Ruiz 07:25, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

::I have edited the article to add some clarity to the pretenders. It is now a list of eight people, not two, although adding Joshua A. Norton is whimsical, at best. I don't think that Wikipedia is so narrow that it need exclude him. I don't think this really belongs in Mexican Empire. I see no harm in keeping it. Ground Zero 13:56, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
