This is a mayoral election of an American city with the population of 30K; the total number of votes cast was below 5K. The mayor is not notable by our standards (though articles about two of the three candidates somehow exist), I wonder why the 2018 elections would be notable. I am sure if this was not happening in the US, and article could have been speedy deleted. Ymblanter (talk) 07:56, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: one of the candidates is presumably notable as a former member of Pennsylvania legislature; another one is a wrong link to a football player.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:00, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - as per nom. On a side note, none of the candidates has their own article, the current two links are to different people of the same name (Pallone - to a PA politician, Schnieder - to an athlete). Onel5969 TT me 11:36, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete just as Nom states.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:23, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- fails all notability guidelines with flying colors. BTW, the two articles that are linked are not actually about the candidates, they are about different people with the same names.--Rusf10 (talk) 18:30, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nominator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:18, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
