Article under development with another Wikipaedian working on former Mayors of Nelson, New Zealand. May take a short time to build up to full standard as information is scarce due to the time period.
Contemporary sources always talk of Joseph Levien and sometimes of Joseph H. Levien. His company was called J. Levien & Co. I thus conclude that he wasn't known by his full name and will thus move this article to Joseph Levien. Schwede 66 17:47, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
During the process of vetting the DYK nomination of this article, notability has been queried. WP:POLITICIAN is the relevant policy, and there it says: "Generally speaking, mayors of cities of at least regional importance are likely to meet this criterion..." There is some argument whether Nelson became a city in 1858 or in 1874, but in either case, it was a city when they started electing mayors. Furthermore, Nelson was the seat of the provincial government until the abolition of this level of government on 1 January 1876, so it also meets that criterion. Hence, notability of the individual mayors is met. Schwede 66 22:07, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
