Results of the 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries
I actually meant the talk page of Talk:2024 Republican Party presidential primaries in my restoration of Binkley. But it would seem its more contested on that talk page than I originally thought regarding whether to label him a "major" candidate. Regardless, I don't think this matters in regards to including him in this results page. It makes no sense to include Asa Hutchinson who received less than a third of the votes and vote share of Binkley on this results page but not include Binkley. Either we remove both Hutchinson and Binkley or have them both. But to include a withdrawn candidate who received far less votes and not include a relatively much better voted candidate that is still in the race doesn't make sense.

Hello Longestview, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/2023 Tucker municipal elections.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read.

Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Virgin Islands elections
Hello. Regarding this edit, I think it may be best (more convenient for readers) to keep a single article on the elections, rather than having separate articles for the governor, delegate, legislature etc. It is unlikely that the articles will be very long and should be easily combined into a single one (which can be split if it gets too large). All the election articles on Puerto Rico aside from the current year ones have been merged in this way. Cheers, Number   5  7  23:44, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
