Article has had multiple tags for 5 years and has not been seriously edited in the same time. This is an unnecessary content fork: the relevant information is better covered in the individual constituency articles. I note this article was considered along side many others in a previous AfD that ended with a keep decision, but was of a rather different nature to the others considered and the decision then did not really consider its own merits, or lack thereof, so I haven't labelled this a second nomination.

  • Delete Seems rather arbitrary as Hertfordshire is not a constituency. Number 57 17:10, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- Failed candidates are generally NN. However the redlinks are an invite to create an article. We have plenty of material on sitting and past MPs to which this adds nothing. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:36, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete; not particularly helpful. If you want to look up failed candidacies, you'll look by the name of the constituency, not by the ceremonial county. Also, this isn't very helpful because it provides information only about an extremely short period of time. Where's information about sixteen-century elections, for example? Surely Hertfordshire sent a couple of knights to Simon de Montfort's Parliament? Nyttend (talk) 00:18, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
