2012 Scottsdale mayoral election

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

With the deletion of 2018 Garland mayoral special election, I think some of the other articles part of WP:CLUSTERFUCK should be reassessed.

 * Delete Notwithstanding a deletion rationale I don't entirely understand, the article is just a simple re-telling of the election result in a medium-sized American city. I could see it maybe being kept if it were somehow exceptional in any way, including regional coverage, but that's not what's here. SportingFlyer  T · C  04:01, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep, Scottsdale is large enough, being one of the 100 largest cities in the United States that its elections are almost certainly notable. I'm not sure how someone can argue the politics of a large city like this one aren't at all notable. -Samoht27 (talk) 18:43, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * For failing WP:GNG? There's only one source, the election results, and mayoral elections are classic WP:MILL fare. SportingFlyer  T · C  00:45, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Having one source is an issue that could easily be fixed by seeking out additional citations, that's not what AFD is for. This isn't WP:MILL either, its a large enough city that it's elections ARE important. -Samoht27 (talk) 18:26, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Then find a source other than a local paper which reports on it. SportingFlyer  T · C  18:55, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MILL. No reason to not confine this to the biography about the mayor. Geschichte (talk) 06:20, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
