I'm not able to find significant coverage of the 2025 United States Electoral College vote count, and it appears to fail WP:GNG. Might be worth making the page again in 2024, but I don't think the article subject is notable at this point. And, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball; it's not always the case that these sorts events are notable, so I don't see a motivating reason to say that it will be notable in the future. Therefore, I believe that the article should be deleted at this time. — Mhawk10 (talk) 04:36, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Considering the past two already meet this criteria I think it is safe to say this one may too. I've seen coverage such as https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/09/28/three-fixes-congress-should-make-save-democracy/ SiliconProphet (talk) 05:13, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- A single opinion piece, even in a national newspaper, is not enough to make a subject notable. Even a multitude of opinion pieces written by journalists don't typically establish notability. And, if we were to go back to as recently as 2013, we don't have a page because this had largely been considered to be a formality. If there's in-depth news coverage of this event that already exists by diverse independent RS, then feel free to demonstrate it, but I'm not able to find such coverage. — Mhawk10 (talk) 05:49, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does this really need an explanation.Yousef Raz (talk) 06:03, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The fact that such an article might be worth writing in the future doesn't mean it's worth writing about now. Compare Template:US 2020 presidential elections series with Template:US 2024 presidential elections series. Not surprisingly, the 2020 template has a lot more articles linked. It's likely that some of the topics we created articles for regarding the 2020 election will have articles created for those topics for 2024 (for example, articles about debates, endorsements, and primary results) -- but we don't have anything useful to say about them now, so we're not creating those articles yet. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:03, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 2024 United States presidential election. If it gets more coverage before the date of the count, the article can be restored.--Molandfreak (talk, contribs, email) 21:10, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
