Another contested draftification. WP:TOOSOON presently, should remain in draft until there is enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. Currently there is not enough in-depth coverage. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:09, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Coverage will be very local and this has always been the case for UK local elections results. Analysis etc may come closer to polling day. doktorb _words^deeds 12:13, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as the election is in 5 days and coverage only happens in the local area, as each election is not national.

Comment - and neither keep !vote is based in policy.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:00, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We've been through this hundreds of times. Local councils in the UK are notable, elections to them are backed up with sources on the local council websites and the BBC local election coverage, and most of them have coverage on hyperlocal websites which didn't exist at the start of Wikipedia so through agreement they've been allowed to stay. doktorb _words^deeds 21:51, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And still, not a policy-based argument.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:56, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Notability and sources are policy-based. I can keep this up all night. doktorb _words^deeds 23:19, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Plus all the other local elections in the UK work this way and are still live.

Keep for the same reasons we've discussed on all the others. Your interpretation of notability and sourcing is simply not supported by consensus for these UK local elections pages.

This latest 2023-page, is just a consistant-continuation of ALL the previous such-wiki-pages, submitted since 2010-onwards, to the present day, all of which have kept to the same guidelines throughout, regarding each and every Hyndburn local borough council election over more than a decade. So,"PLEASE KEEP / DO NOT DELETE". Warrenlm (talk) 10:56, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Bruxton (talk) 04:51, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as these election results have (already) received direct and detailed coverage in several reliable sources, such as BBC, Manchester Evening News and a local newspaper group's website. It therefore meets all five of the criteria under WP:GNG

Keep No reason what so ever to delete this, it forms part of the 2023 election series. Littlemonday (talk) 21:11, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, though too many of these election articles are lazily (and prematurely) written using primary sources, I've now added several news articles which are actually about the election. Sionk (talk) 21:20, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
