1896 Ystradyfodwg Urban District Council

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The results of a local election in Wales, 1896. Fails a combination of WP:NOT and WP:N. We are not an electoral database. We do not carry pure tables of election results without any discussion or context of who the parties, candidates, issues, etc. were. And coverage of such topics is very unlikely to exist for a 19th century local election.  Sandstein  11:20, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment There have been two previous AfDs on urban/rural district council elections, which resulted in merge and merge. Number   5  7  20:59, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge also 1894 Ystradyfodwg Urban District Council election. A UDC was a very low level of local government, often consisting of a single parish that happened to be very populous.  It is axiomatic that within WP that local politicians are NN, unless for notable for other reasons.  It may be legitimate to have a table showing political party representation in the article on the UDC itself.  The particular election we are discussing involved the re-election of most of the candidates unopposed.  Quite apart from the wider issue as to such e3lection articles generally, this one is about a thoroughly NN election.  Peterkingiron (talk) 13:25, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Merge with Rhondda Urban District Council. There is a good source for the information. Ultimately, it would be good to have a political history of all these councils but there's no need for separate articles for each election now. Cavrdg (talk) 14:21, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge with Rhondda Urban District Council. Not notable enough for a standalone article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:26, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
