The election is not WP:N and relies on WP:FUTURE. Wiki is WP:NOTNEWS and this article is portraying that as it has little news coverage as is.

It is possible that it may become notable in the WP:FUTURE but we have no way of knowing that.

The article has not established individual any notability or and has no reason to be on the mainspace. Grahaml35 (talk) 05:20, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the article contains multiple articles about the election itself, which is going to occur in just a few months.--User:Namiba 18:28, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As the election for mayor of the state's largest city, it is very likely to have additional coverage on the next few months. Bearian (talk) 16:00, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify Agree with nom. The two keep-voters above did not explain about current SIGCOV so I suggest dratifying it per WP:FUTURE. Timothytyy (talk) 13:24, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify as per above. There not much to write about this election until the results come out. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 04:31, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draft until after the election, Portland, Maine isn't large to begin with, so the coverage will of course be less important than say Boston. Oaktree b (talk) 13:40, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the election made headlines this week with a candidate announcement (which was statewide news). There has also been statewide news about the city's public financing system for local candidates.--User:Namiba 11:32, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
