WP:NOTNEWS. This race doesn't have any nationwide implications of any kind, and the references for the article reflect as such, for a vast majority of the third-party sources used here are local sources. The article doesn't even communicate how or why the topic should be considered notable as a Wikipedia article. Love of Corey (talk) 19:52, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I could see why this election was important because the former officeholder was the state's Senate majority leader...but after this election it's just going to be another seat for awhile and really not important outside of WI election wonks. Nate • (chatter) 15:41, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Nate....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:46, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't recall ever seeing an article on a special election to a state legislature here. The sourcing here hints as-to why; it's WP:MILL local coverage that is generally excluded for assessing GNG. There may be redirect targets (the winner of the election, after it happens) but I don't think that's necessary. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:18, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- The appropriate redirect target is a section in "YEAR STATE elections" - in this case 2021 Wisconsin elections. Elli (talk | contribs) 20:31, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
