Keep What exactly differentiates this election from ones even further in the future such as 2024 United States presidential election? I'm guessing importance, since that one is for a whole country, but there are many other 2023 local election articles, such as 2023 New South Wales state election, 2023 Valencia City Council election, 2023 Enugu State gubernatorial election, and 2023 Jacksonville mayoral election among others.

Keep – The WP:TOOSOON argument rings hollow when sources are already discussing this election in particular. Two are already in the article, and a quick search finds others. While we're not a crystal ball, providing verifiable, cited information about a notable election is fully within our remit. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:20, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep Article clearly doesn't fail WP:TOOSOON. Best, —Nnadigoodluck███ 14:58, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep – I have a little bit of a conflict of interest here considering I wrote the first version of this page but no, this and the other 2023 gubernatorial election pages I wrote don't fail WP:TOOSOON at all. There's a page on the 2024 Delaware gubernatorial election that relies on a single source and the election takes place a year later so anything nearing consistency on this site would allow this page. Even if it was too soon, the page isn't hurting anyone, it's not that serious. Thanks, Watercheetah99 (talk) 16:36, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Coverage exists. Princess of Ara 07:26, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - While the arguments of "Well, there is a 2024 United States presidential election article" are basically just Wikipedia:Other stuff exists, I think there is a bare-bones amount of sourcing here that makes me think this can be cleaned up and meet WP:GNG standards.
