Election results in 2009

 * - (|View AfD) (View log)

Support the deletion. There is no article Election results in 2008, or in earlier years, as far as I can determine, so why this list? Whoever is in favor of this list should think about the effort required to create this list for earlier years. --DThomsen8 (talk) 01:02, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 17:02, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. The fact that no previous article exists isn't a good ground to delete this article. Armbrust (talk) 17:13, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep So what if there is no article called Election results in 2008? People make the effort to create year-by-year articles for other items, for example Category:1973 in sports.  You gotta start somewhere.  Mandsford (talk) 22:36, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, what a brilliant list. Bearian (talk) 04:00, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - pointless concatenation of events that are in no way related (other than temporally). Interested readers may click through the Electoral calendar 2009 to see individual results. Also, as pointed out by the nominator, this sets up needless work by someone who evidently didn't think through the implications of creating the list. - Biruitorul Talk 06:13, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Bearian. I would advocate setting up similar lists for other years as well. --Soman (talk) 09:57, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Is a reasonable topic for a list as per above comments. I would also point out that although there is no list for 2008, there are already ones for Elections in 2007, Elections in 2006, Elections in 2005 and Elections in 2004, although under a slightly different name to this one (the names should be standardised one way or the other).

 * Merge with Electoral calendar 2009, and decide somewhere (is there a relevant project?) what the naming convention should be for such articles. Maybe "National elections in yyyy"? Phil Bridger (talk) 19:56, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relevant wikiproject is the refounded WikiProject Elections and Referendums. (Anyone welcome to join!!) Davewild (talk) 20:27, 19 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep good list, I see no good reason for deletion DRosin (talk) 22:15, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
