2017 Rutland mayoral election

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A local election with less than 5,000 votes which only received local or blog coverage in a before search (there was one major right-wing blog which reported the result, but I don't think that's enough for notability.) SportingFlyer  T · C  01:35, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Deletion An election in a town with a population of about 15,000 is not notable. JayJayWhat did I do? 01:42, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep In the context of Vermont, this election in the second largest city (not town) was notable regardless of the population, and received statewide news coverage due to the issues debated and the stances the candidates took. The article for the 2019 follow-up election has already been deleted, which I also disagreed with. This article is meant to give information about the context surrounding the election and it's broader implications, not about the relatively small city itself. BM6 (talk) 21:11, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete It takes a lot to make a particular election notable, and I see no reason to consider this one so. Most city mayoral elections are not notable. I am going to say that no election in a city of less than 20,000 people is ever notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:45, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
