 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to 118th United States Congress. This redirect can be re-targetted to a different article (eg. the one mentioned by Esolo5002 and suggested by Timothy) at normal editorial discretion. I deliberately didn't delete the history behind the redirect to allow a merge to a target article, should any editor wish to do so. Daniel (talk) 20:32, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

2022 United States House of Representatives Democratic Caucus leadership election

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

This does not pass WP:NEVENT. It is a WP:ROUTINE event that happens behind closed doors every two years. Even with the change in speaker nominee from Pelosi to Jeffries, there was no intrigue that would rise above the run-of-the-mill level of coverage for it. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:52, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

 * where would you prefer we cover the content this article has? Elli (talk &#124; contribs) 17:56, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Each members' individual articles. It's a sentence at most for each involved member. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:02, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * it seems like it's useful to collect all this information somewhere though? Only putting it on the members' articles does our readers a disservice. Elli (talk &#124; contribs) 18:21, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I think having an article for a non-notable event is a disservice to our readers. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:31, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The point of our notability guidelines is to make sure we can write a meaningful article on our subject, not to arbitrarily exclude things because they're "not notable enough". How does having this article do a disservice to our readers? It collects relevant information that otherwise would be scattered across multiple other articles. I'd be fine with a redirect or a merge, as long as we found a good location for the same information. Elli (talk &#124; contribs) 18:56, 4 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. There was no significant coverage about the election itself, as Jeffries and others were chosen unanimously. Natg 19 (talk) 18:47, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete/Redirect to 118th_United_States_Congress. I noticed this one last week and thought the same as Muboshgu. These races weren't even contested for the most part, so it's pretty lame to have such a long article with photos and election results boxes when the section in the main article says all the same thing. Same thing goes for the mostly useless 2006 United States House of Representatives Democratic Caucus leadership election. Reywas92Talk 18:50, 4 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete, per nom. Probably discussed enough already at 2023 Speaker of the United States House of Representatives election. ‎Jefferies was also chosen unanimously. Esolo5002 (talk) 14:54, 5 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep, Important leadership election, new gen of leaders for the dem party. I agree that it needs a lot of work though. Rushtheeditor (talk) 02:48, 7 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep Pelosi and much of the democratic leadership for the past 20 years standing down is important for the party. The election of a new generation of leaders will also be important, plus with all the drama surrounding the speakership election this seems like it leans keep.

 * Delete/Redirect to 118th_United_States_Congress Per precedent, this election is WP:ROUTINE and similar elections have not received articles in the past. All people elected were elected by voice vote, all of this information could very easily be displayed in another article.DHSchool2003Student (talk) 17:29, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge information into section [[2023 Speaker of the United States House of Representatives election at an WP:ATD.  // Timothy :: talk  13:11, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
