This article doesn't have any citations, only a few "sources" listed. The winner of the election isn't even notable enough for a page, why then is the election? The city itself is a suburb of Yokohama and has a population of about 58,087, this would be fine, but the article gives me no reason to believe the elections of Zushi are actually notable. The article does not appear to be included on the Japanese Language Wikipedia either. Delete. Samoht27 (talk) 19:58, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

• Delete as there is nothing in the sources that suggests this particular mayoral election is notable. As nominator points out, there is no standalone article about this election in Japanese Wikipedia. There is, however, a biographical article on the winning candidate, Ryuichi Hirai, which strongly suggests there wasn't anything particularly notable about the 2006 mayoral election (when he was re-elected for his third term), either.
