2003 Bedford municipal election

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Single-sourced article about a smalltown municipal council election, with no real indication of why it would be an encyclopedically noteworthy event. To be fair, at the time this was created in 2010 it was commonly accepted that any municipal election anywhere was always "inherently" notable enough for a Wikipedia article -- but under current standards, that's been considerably tightened up, and we now generally only care about city council elections in major cities that can be substantively well-sourced as significant events. So this was a good faith creation at the time, but there's no strong evidence here that it would still pass the ten year test in 2021. Bearcat (talk) 15:51, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete – since there's no sign that this minor election (with fewer than 1000 votes cast) drew any sort of long-term or geographically broad coverage, it fails WP:NEVENT. I'm not seeing any ATDs either: a redirect to 2003 Quebec municipal elections might be an option, but that article is likely just as non-notable as this one.
