Markham Ward 3 by-election, 2009[edit]

Delete. Article, sourced entirely to primary source content on the city's own website with no reliable source coverage shown at all, about a one-off special election in one city council ward in a city where city councillors do not get an WP:NPOL pass just for being city councillors (and even in the rare global cities where city councillors do get that pass, we still don't create standalone articles about individual ward by-elections.) There's simply nothing here to suggest any sustained encyclopedic interest -- the article simply amounts to "this happened, here's the vote totals, the end", with no context for why an encyclopedia should care.

Delete - the proposer sums it up perfectly. Shritwod (talk) 14:13, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Markham municipal election, 2006. Not much needs to be transferred, IMO - just the reason for the by-election and the vote results should be sufficient. PK T(alk) 19:48, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
