This was originally a list that was overwhelmingly decided on for a full deletion at its AFD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of mayors of Gotham City. Despite this, the article was just copied over to the Gotham City article against consensus, and this page was recreated as a redirect. I have already removed the inappropriately merged content, and thus this redirect is not needed. Rorshacma (talk) 18:44, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
:The information about the mayors of Gotham City was added there in light of it's deletion. Those that appeared in different media appearances had to have their information listed somewhere. If we want to list the information on the recurring mayors of Gotham City, should we have it listed under each of the List of Marvel Comics characters page and the List of minor DC Comics characters page? --Rtkat3 (talk) 18:57, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
::No, they do not have to have their information listed elsewhere, hence the consensus of Deletion, rather than merging, at the AFD. Just because you disagreed with the consensus does not mean you can simply ignore it and perform a merge that was overwhelmingly turned down. Rorshacma (talk) 19:20, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

- {{s|Keep/Procedural close as wrong venue}} It's a plausible search term for the target, where it's mentioned, in whole or in part. Past AfD decisions are not binding on the potential usefulness of the article title as a potential redirect. I see little reason for deletion. Nom is reminded that consensus can change, at any time. This really is the wrong venue; per WP:BRD, nom should've started a talk page discussion at the target article on whether the re-added content was to be added.

:*The AFD just ended when the content was inappropriately merged. Needing to create a new discussion to re-discuss what was an overwhelming consensus that just ended would fall under the "proposing to change a recently established consensus can be disruptive" line of WP:CCC, wouldn't it? Rorshacma (talk) 22:12, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
:*:I don't take the view that one must a couple months after an AfD close, but this is pretty close. I would recommend establishing a talk page discussion. I've struck my keep !vote, but I don't endorse deletion. It'll probably get deleted, but my comment is on the record for future establishment to its recreation, following a talk page discussion. I personally don't see a problem with mentioning a harmless list of mayors of Gotham City, though, as long as it's, perhaps, done in paragraph form (to consume less space). It's potentially useful, though I would prefer to see a list of police commissioners (unless Gordon was the only police commissioner!). Doug Mehus T·C 17:24, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
- Soft delete per my discussion above; suggest allowing WP:REFUND or bold retargeting elsewhere. Doug Mehus T·C 17:53, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
