It's very hard to see how this article meets WP:GNG or WP:EVENT for local elections Fiachra10003 (talk) 23:01, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * delete very local election, where the people involved are nowhere close to meeting WP:POLITICIAN. Someone really needs to put together WP:NELECTION to get a notability guideline for these things. Aberdare is a small town, if we are covering elections at this level worldwide on a yearly basis, that would be tens of thousands of articles per year. If we are not intending to cover at that level, what makes Welsh elections more special? Does not meet WP:GNG fails WP:NOT Coverage is WP:ROUTINE without any commentaryGaijin42 (talk) 01:11, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge I don't see what's necessarily wrong with tens of thousands of articles a year--the relevant policy is NOT PAPER. A much better argument is that below a certain level of importance  these are much  more useful if merged--anyone interested in one, will probably want to see the whole series, and there is rarely much to say besides the statistics. Where I would draw the line is at anything more local than state or province. Perhaps we do need a general discussion on this, instead of scattered articles and afds.

 * Merge. Happy to agree to this. Currently abroad with very limited internet access so will not be able to progress this until the end of August. Thanks. Macs15 (talk) 13:13, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge. This is one of a series of 10 articles and I think that they should all be considered together; there is no merit in blowing a single hole in such a set of pages. I agree that separate pages are not appropriate; apart from anything else there seems not to be the material available to make a fully developed page. However, the content is encyclopaedic and I see no reason to delete it. Though we could merge to the main article it would unbalance the page so merging all 10 to a new Aberdare Urban District Council elections looks a good way to go.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Merge I agree with The Whispering Wind, as there is insufficient coverage of the individual elections to merit individual articles a merge to one article makes sense. Davewild (talk) 07:25, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
