Proposed Deletion
Keep - The proposed merger/redirect is into "First LGBT elected officials." This is a list of ALL Trans elected officials, not just the first. The list is small enough to keep and maintain. Plus, trans folks have different experiences from other members of the LGBTQ community. And with the election of 9 trans folk in 2017 in the US, it is important to keep this list, especially as time goes on. Not to mention, superlatives that would be messy on "First LGBT elected officials" would not be so here. First transman elected, first tranwoman of color, first transman of color, et cetera. That would be quite a mess on the other page, but it works here. Gstridsigne (talk) 12:31, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * , please make your contributions at the deletion discussion page - Articles for deletion/Elected transgender officials around the world. That probably wasn't up yet when you were writing this. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:39, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Lyra Evans
I am fairly sure Lyra Evans is the first transgender politician in Ontario elected to any office. But I have not yet found a source for that. Also sorry for bungling some of my edits, I got confused by a previous link to an article about Evans that was left for some reason.

Renaming
It was pretty obvious from the AfD that many individuals were not thrilled with the name of this list - and preferred List of transgender politicians. I have no real concern about that current name. I suppose that the proposed name is shorter, and since there are some officials on the list who were appointed and not elected, it fits better. But again, I have no invested opinion on the matter.
