United Kingdom general election, 2015 (London)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No sources to establish notability on this one. There is no special status towards London in the UK general election. See this AfD for a similar discussion. Also, it is redundant in two ways. One, each constituancy has their own page, so the information here is just duplication. And two, the overall information is on the main 2015 UK General Election page.

 * Delete Pointless article. Number   5  7  13:24, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Makes sense given the decision taken on the Greater Manchester and similar regional/county articles. Dunarc (talk) 16:14, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Interesting, but outcome of the election is not determined by results within individual regions, so it's pointless. Mélencron (talk) 21:36, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep As an area with devolution, on the likes of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, we have a long practice of having articles for the Greater London results. The results in Greater London attracted media attention for their diversion from the trend, particularly in England. AusLondonder (talk) 23:43, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Lots of areas of England have devolution. I see no reason why London should be singled out. To be honest, personally I can't see how the Northern Irish/Scottish/Welsh articles are justifiable either. Number   5  7  09:33, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, lots of areas have or are gaining devolution of powers including Greater Manchester which has already had its article deleted (that incidentally was part of the reason I created it as it is relevant to the upcoming mayoral election), so that cannot be a relevant argument to keep. Lots of areas divert from the trend, as I pointed out in the previous AfD GM has 80% of the seats going to the party that didn't win. ChiZeroOne (talk) 02:29, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete As per my comments on the previous AfD. This article (and the others I mentioned) is not any different from those already deleted. ChiZeroOne (talk) 02:29, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
