Notability of mayors[edit]

Mayors or Cathaoirligh of Irish cities or other local government areas are not presumed to be notable under WP:POLITICIAN, or specifically under WP:NSUBPOL. However, I’d propose two exceptions:

  • the Lord Mayor of Dublin, being the first citizen of the capital and largest city (and in practice all mayors dating to 1873 have an article); and
  • the Limerick Mayor, being a directly-elected office with a five-year term.

(For clarity, I’m referring to the individuals holding these offices, not the articles on the offices themselves). Iveagh Gardens (talk) 15:03, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Review requested on Draft:Malachy Steenson[edit]

Hi, this recently elected councillor has had a lot of press coverage down the years which merits notability under WP:POLITICIAN. I would appreciate a review to have this moved to article mainspace. 51.37.25.21 (talk) 12:52, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pedantic point about MEPs[edit]

According to a tweet by Gavan Reilly (which I can't link to - I only saw a screenshot of it and I'm not on that site any more, but his account is @gavreilly), MEPs only take office on July 17, so the TDs who were elected as MEPs stay as TDs until July 16. I'm not proposing we go change anything back, but some may want to. BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 17:57, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
