List of members of the California Senate from Butte County

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Absolutely not notable. I don't know why we have similar lists for all the other counties, or why we need an article for a list of historical California State Senate members from this one peculiar county. It's way too specific and standalone to be notable. Love of Corey (talk) 03:20, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. District boundaries and numbering can change from one election to another, but a list by county can be easier to understand. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 05:33, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete There are 3,141 counties in the US and 99 legislative houses, so I don't think it's an appropriate organizational method to potentially have more than 6,000 articles listing members in such a way. The primary source may be good for a more comprehensive listing of historical California senators (which are already listed in each district article), but not broken down by 58 counties. Articles for deletion/List of Members of Congress who have represented Erie, Pennsylvania is related. Reywas92Talk 15:50, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Counties can be one geographical unit...but as seen by gerrymandering can be easily divided into several smaller districts. This is detail that has to involve making sure each state senate map matches up to the representative in the county, and doing that over so many periods of time and censuses is a massive undertaking that's better dealt with by senate district rather than county.

 * Delete Down this path lies madness. Especially since the 6,000 lists would just lead to Wikipedia even being more Amero-centric than it already is, so we would have to I guess create lists of each state legislture representative by district in India. With India changing states and districts much more often than the US changes counties and states, that is just giving me a headache even imagining what it would look like. Oh, does that list include all the indepcdent cities in Virginia, or deal with Connecticut totally and Massachusetts partially elimanating counties. Also, Alaska has a complex mess of cities and boroughs, and there are at least 3 cities in the US (Carson City, St. Louis and Baltimore) that exist outside counties. Also there are several counties that once existed that no longer do (OK, less than 25, but still). Down this path clearly lies madness.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:00, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment JPL didn't even mention the additional fun that is the metro governments like Metro Louisville and Metro-Dade. This would set a very confusing precedent if we kept this.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 04:23, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
