Juneau, Alaska, regular election, 2008

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A borough in Alaska is roughly the equivalent of a county in the rest of the States. This was a local government election with little to no impact on anyone living outside the Juneau Borough. None of the candidates for any of the positions could be considered notable by any reasonable standard. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:36, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Note Keep if any of the candidates belonged to the emergant 'Tea party movement.--Wipsenade (talk) 16:22, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * So, if anyone who identified as a Tea Party candidate got elected to a local school board anywhere in America that is automatically notable? Even if we were to accept that rather odd premise, these elections are so low-level that most candidates run just as themselves and are not affiliated with any organized party or movement.

 * All of the candidates are redlinks. If one of them meets WP:BIO later, their 2008 success can be mentioned in a sentence in their article without the need for a stand-alone article that's currently an orphan. Separately, is there a reason to single out 2008, and ignore the four other articles on annual Juneau elections? THF (talk) 13:12, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Sometimes it is best to test the waters with a single nom, but since these all share the same problem it probably is appropriate in this case, so I am now co-nomming these as well:
 * Juneau, Alaska, regular election, 2005
 * Juneau, Alaska, regular election, 2006
 * Juneau, Alaska, regular election, 2007

These were the only other ones I found in a search, but if there are more like this I have no objection to anyone adding them to this debate. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:57, 20 December 2010 (UTC)


 * There is Juneau, Alaska, special election, 2007 and Juneau elections. Delete all per my comment above. THF (talk) 17:35, 22 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete all per Beeblebrox. Notable candidates, if any, could (and should) be noted in the Juneau, Alaska article as appropriate. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 21:14, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
