Start and end date are possible still as are predecessor and successor. See Q17202594 which is one of the former mayors of Frederick and has all of those qualifiers on him. Unless you meant on the city, in which case I am slowing working towards that on Q472675 as well under "head of government". Or am I misunderstanding you? > It is even said in the notability criteria that if we can clearly identify the > concept, ... Mayor office of cities are amongst these identifiable items. You've got me there. I could live with every city having a mayor item then. That still makes me wonder what the purpose of the "of" qualifier is in relation to "position held". Looking at the "position held" docs, n the example given they use: Barrack Obama -> Position Held -> United State Senator -> of -> United States Senate. This seems to be somewhat redundant information as the fact that he was "of" the United States Senate seems to be implied by the very definition of being a United States Senator. To recast it in terms of mayor, it would be like saying Mayor of Frederick in Frederick. I'm very confused now. Can anyone shed some light on what best practice should be then?
