Pakefield local elections

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contains only results of non-notable local election in a single ward (sent to AFD after author contested prod). AndrewWTaylor (talk) 19:00, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Sorry, but this fails WP:EVENT. It is highly unlikely that the local elections of a village of under 7,000 can ever meet WP:GEOSCOPE, which states that "an event affecting a local area and reported only by the media within the immediate region may not necessarily be notable. ...Events that have a demonstrable impact on the region, such as city-wide elections, are presumed to be notable enough for an article." Because Pakefield is not a city and the elections did not have a demonstrable effect that was notable enough to meet WP:GNG, I think deletion is proper.

 * Delete Hey, what's happening over in Pakefield? City and County council elections generally are not notable.  Mandsford (talk) 19:42, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable per WP:EVENT MuffledThud (talk) 20:28, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. The table of results also appears on Pakefield, where it does no harm.  Local election results for individual seats only appear on Wikipedia on a page like West Sussex Council election, 2009, where an editor has listed the whole set.  This is not the case with Suffolk County Council election, 2009.  --81.108.236.17 (talk) 00:17, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
