2025 Western Australian local elections

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

We have just had the 2023 local government elections. There have been no reforms to local government since then which might merit mentioning in this article. It is far too early for people to announce their candidacies. In short, this article was created too soon. Steelkamp (talk) 03:20, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Oppose deletion - Understand the points raised but I think given it's a periodic election (ie we are able to get clearer information on exactly who is up for election etc) plus the fact it's pretty standard, at least in my experience editing Australian elections, for the very next election to get its own page as soon as possible which can be added to.

Relisting comment: Is there any support for moving this to Draft or User space until the elections get closer? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 03:33, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * SNOW Keep under WP:FUTUREEVENT's the event is notable and almost certain to take place, with notability passing via WP:RS with WP:DEPTH. Since election reform is already a key issue, either yea or nay results will end up touching WP:LASTING under effects on... society and legislation. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:40, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:FUTUREEVENT as it's not verifiable as there are no sources talking about this event occurring. The opening sentence in the article "The 2023 Western Australian local elections will be held in October 2025 to elect the councils of the 137 local government areas (LGAs) in Western Australia. Many councils will also hold mayoral and deputy mayoral elections." is not even confirmed by the source given which talks about the 2023 elections. This is WP:TOOSOON.

 * Draft Moving to draft seems fine, I can't see why this wouldn't take place. Oaktree b (talk) 15:47, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete – No coverage of the 2025 elections to speak of, very clearly fails the GNG. Way, way TOOSOON. Not even worthy draftifying given it would have to be incubated for over a year and a half. 5225C (talk &bull; contributions) 03:16, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete No verifying coverage of these events. Not even the date in 2025 has been set yet. LibStar (talk) 05:13, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete No sources to justify. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 02:57, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
