The result was redirect to Cook County Board of Review. The "keep" opinions amount to "these districts are big", which does not address the reasons for deletion. Any relevant and sourceable content can be merged from the history. Sandstein 19:11, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

These are electoral districts for a county's property assessment review board. Electoral districts fail WP:NGEO, especially when used to divide voters only for special-purpose districts of local government, because those districts are not "populated, legally recognized places" (WP:GEOLAND).

- Delete, maybe partial merge. Cook County Board of Review is absolutely not significant enough for its individual districts to have articles. While the same user created substantial articles for the recent officeholders, a few feel like refbombs for NPOL failures; even as big as Cook County is it's hard to say that it's notable to be the one who judges local property tax assessments.

- Keep Cook County is home to 5,275,541 people. Each of the three districts of the commission has about 1,750,000 constituents. That's a much greater number of constituents than occupy most constituencies given articles on Wikipeida. At least merge this information if not keep this article.

- I'd be fine with merging to the Board of Review article, and that's my fault for not considering merger as an alternative to deletion. I still contend that the districts themselves are not notable because electoral districts for local governments generally have not been the subject of significant coverage.

- Keep, as these electoral districts have very large electorates.Jackattack1597 (talk) 21:29, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
