Khyber Pakhtunkhwa local government elections 2015

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Claims there are 81000 candidates running for 41000 seats which is patently false. Reference doesn't support article. Liz Read! Talk! 20:18, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per Number 57 - Comment - Actually the reference does say that, but you have to click on this pdf . It looks like it includes the seats for every single village council and district council, so I can see how that number is possible. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has a population of 28 million. I don't want to vote delete because of systemic bias though, considering the extensive numbers of articles on U.S. elections (see New Orleans mayoral election, 1866), but I don't know how the elections work in Pakistan and if this is truly notable.  —Мандичка YO 😜 20:50, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Local government elections like this are clearly notable given that an AfD on an article about elections for the lowest tier of local government in England resulted in a near-unanimous keep vote. However, this is more on a par with Scottish local elections, 2012 (i.e. an article dealing with local elections across a second-level subdivision), although arguably more notable given that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has a population more than five times that of Scotland). Ironically, it appears it is the deletion rationale which is "patently false" given the evidence provided by Wikimandia ;) Number   5  7  21:05, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep as above. There is plentiful coverage as well as any quick search on google news would show. Other sources do have slightly different figures for the candidates and seats - here it says "According to provincial election commission data, as many as 84,420 candidates contested 41,762 seats".

 * Speedy keep per easy fulfillment of WP:GNG - remember WP:BEFORE. There are many sources, including, among many others. Esquivalience t 00:04, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
