The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect‎ to Local government in New South Wales. While WP:CRYSTAL doesn't apply here, the fact that an article will exist under this topic at some point is not a reason to keep it today, if sources don't currently establish notability, as per the consensus here.

This feels like it's WP:TOOSOON for this election to have an article. The election is four years from now. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk? | contribs) 10:35, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I understand why you say that but I'm going off the sorta-precedent of the 2026 Victorian state election, 2027 New South Wales state election, etc pages being created right after the previous one ended
There's already coverage in multiple reliable sources about the 2028 elections and the changes that'll occur then, I think that meets enough coverage to keep the page
Otherwise if it was to be deleted, I would argue it should instead redirect to Local government in New South Wales Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 10:39, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OTHERTHINGS is not a good argument. If you think those articles shouldn't exist then nominate them. TarnishedPathtalk 06:05, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not a good point. State elections are vastly more important than local elections, plus WP:OTHERTHINGS, as TarnishedPath says. Steelkamp (talk) 12:27, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep these elections will take place on the specified date by law and there are reliable sources covering events that will take place (e.g. Clover Moore retirement, referendum results).
If not redirect to Local government in New South Wales Goodebening (talk) 10:03, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - there are potential misunderstandings of the context and scope of local government in the Australian project in general - it is not something that is in general discussion in the mainstream media that could even facilitate adequate reliable sources, simple enough to realise that it is out of scope.JarrahTree 11:05, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because it will need to be an article sooner or later. Might as well leave it alone. I don't get all you deletionists who try to remove Australian local government articles given there is so much other stuff that gets a pass here that Twitter accounts like "depths of Wikipedia" can thrive. But if it is not kept, then clearly it should redirect to Local government in New South Wales as proposed above. Axver (talk) 05:33, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
