Previously PRODded article - by myself - saying that it was "a completely unnecessary list of the 1983 election results in Essex. All of the information is already available at both List of MPs elected in the United Kingdom general election, 1983 and the various constituencies' articles." It was deprodded without improvement or reasoning, so it's brought here. (It should be noted that I had forgotten about this and only came across it when looking for something else.)

Comment. Whilst I feel going down to one county for an individual election is a bit much, I can see a use for grouping electoral information by county. Could we work this information (and other elections) into List of Parliamentary constituencies in Essex? Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 07:40, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- there appear to be equivalent articles for 1979 and 1983, but I have never heard of anything similar for other counties. It might be useful to have a single article on all election results in Essex; certainly including County Council ones; possibly also district ones, assuming that the district electoral arrangements for all districts are sufficiently similar to make this possible. I assume we are dealing with the present county, not all the places whose address is "Essex", which probably includes places now in Greater London. However, this ought not to remain the only county with an article of this kind. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:16, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete As the nominator notes, this list of the winners of the 17 different seats in Essex is already part of the list of the winners of the general election. As with others, I see no reason to keep this. In addition, I see plenty of reasons to delete, the main one being the prospect of zillions of sub-articles called "19___ election for the seats that were located in ____" Mandsford 16:13, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
