2024 United States presidential election in Missouri

 * – ( View AfD View log )

WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL. There's not much at this time specifically about this election in Missouri (not surprised, as it's not a swing state anymore). Should be recreated closer to the election time, once more about the election specifically in this state rather than in general is known. Hog Farm Talk 04:08, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep I've been changing these from redirects to articles as we get polling in each state. This keeps an excessive amount of polls off of the main 2024 United States presidential election. If there was no polling here, I would not have expanded this from a redirect. I don't see this as a violation of any policy - the election obviously will happen, and we do have useful information we can share with our readers about it.

 * Two comments: First, I think it's telling that the 2020 page was created in early 2019, and the 2016 one was created in 2016. Really, the best way to handle this is going to just drop off the oldest polls off this early.  Right now this contains two polls, one of which was done a month before Biden's inauguration.  These polls this early aren't going to be useful, so we'll just wind up with a page filled with obsolete polls for several years.  A better option would probably be to create Statewide opinion polling for the 2024 United States presidential election a la Statewide opinion polling for the 2020 United States presidential election and house everything in the poll-dedicated page there. I don't think this is useful, as there will be very little data on this election in Missouri until way closer. Hog Farm Talk 04:24, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I guess I just don't see a benefit to deleting this? There will be more polling at some point - after all, there already is some polling - and the current article serves a useful function for organization and to readers. I hate to cite pageviews as those are usually a bad argument in deletion discussions, but this has ~400 in the past month. Clearly, some people want information, and we can give them some information. I've seen pages get updated pretty rapidly when new polling is released, if you're worried about the page being filled only with stale polling.

 * Keep There is both a primary and general election poll for this election which gives it some substantive content. This election will inevitably take place so keeping this article means that we will not have to recreate it in the future. Thomascampbell123 (talk &#124; contribs) 05:23, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
