Norfolk County municipal election, 2006

A county municipal election is not notable enough for me. If there is a guideline for this, I couldn't find it. Dismas|^(talk) 08:01, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There are a number of other articles on municipal elections in other cities (check the category), and they give coverage and information to those interested in politics. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:28, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I see the cat, although I'd like to see what happens with this afd before proceeding with a larger scale afd. I don't believe county level elections are notable enough. Dismas|^(talk) 10:26, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete agree with nom. Are we going to have coverage of every local election in every jurisdiction across ther globe? Eusebeus 16:13, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. This is crystalballing as well - the election hasn't even started yet. What's more, Norfolk county only has a population of [Norfolk County, Ontario|60,847]. Ultra-Loser ^{Talk | BT sites} 06:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Um, no, not crystal-balling. These people are running, as the time for new candidates has been cut off. -- Zanimum 20:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is probably too large a topic to add to the Norfolk County article, so I would keep it as a stand-lone article. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 07:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I realize Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, but if you've actually spent two seconds in Wikipedia, one would realize how many articles we have on future elections. Just try and delete U.S. Presidential election, 2008. -- Earl Andrew - talk 18:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, that's a national election though. This article is for just one small county. How small will we go? Dismas|^(talk) 21:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, that's a matter of debate. It's my personal opinion, that Norfolk County qualifies. It should also be noted that this isn't even the smallest municipality with its own election article. -- Earl Andrew - talk 07:14, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Do we need to report on Wiki the results of every election? I don't think so. Let's avoid electioncruft. Vegaswikian 17:20, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Why not? Wikipedia is not paper. Obviously, smaller municipalities if they have articles, should be merged with other in their county or census division, but in the case of Norfolk, it's an entire census division, so it's too large to merge with anything else. -- Earl Andrew - talk 17:44, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Factual, verifiable, and most importantly keeps people civicly minded in an era of indifference. -- Zanimum 20:44, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Zanimum. In time, however, I hope that many of these articles can be merged, so tht this year's election page and the next election page and so on and on might become simply one page. Badbilltucker 21:45, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- So that it becomes a huge maintenance task? Why not just start it that way? Dismas|^(talk) 22:03, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
