UK Independence Party leadership election, 2015

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The election won't be happening this year. Nigel Farage announced his resignation, but his UKIP superiors rejected it. Therefore, Farage has decided to stay as leader for now. Merger to Nigel Farage might be likely, but the story of his near-resignation will be very small. Similar story has been told elsewhere, like in United Kingdom general election, 2015 and the "Nigel Farage" article. George Ho (talk) 20:51, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per above as event that didn't take place, only received day-to-day news coverage, rumour, and speculation, and doesn't seem to have had any wider impact (aside from making Farage look slightly flakier). Already covered in other articles. Colapeninsula (talk) 10:35, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete never happened, nor did any candidates confirm interest. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 17:35, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. I have already copied material over to the UKIP article. Bondegezou (talk) 07:55, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Only serves to confuse readers about whether there is or isn't an election. Bondegezou has already copied the info to other articles so we're not going to lose anything either. Seagull123 (talk) 22:27, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete This information could be reduced to a paragraph in either Farage's bio or the UKIP page. Alligators1974 (talk) 21:18, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - All this is mentioned on the UKIP, Nigel and GE 2015 articles so this article is pretty much redundant. – Davey 2010 Talk 01:35, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
