 * Keep for the same reason cancelled video games also have articles/sections, anything that was planned but didn't happen (as long as it's properly sourced) has an article/section. Being a cancelled election could probably be reflected in the title somehow or the article's contents be merged someplace, but just because it got cancelled doesn't magically mean erase the validity of the content. This nomination is throwing the baby out with the bathwater basically.— Mythdon  ( talk  •  contribs ) 20:09, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Mythdon's reasoning. IncompA 20:37, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Why not merging into 2023 Pakistani parliamentary crisis? Panam2014 (talk) 21:15, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - I would agree to Panam2014's proposal as a fallback, but I think there is plenty here to justify a separate article. Something not happening due to crises or simple cancellation has never been a valid cause for deletion, especially where there is reasonable, sustained, non-local coverage (all of which are shown by the cites). As an extreme example, The world completely failed to end in 2012, but we still have a superb ~130kb article on it. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 17:01, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
