2006 Town Meeting Season in Merrimack, New Hampshire

This article can never become anything more than a stub on a non-notable town meeting. Non-notable in its own right. Ral315 (talk) 04:42, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Ral315 (talk) 04:42, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep Ral has a vendetta against me, so he takes it out on articles I have to do with. This is an annual town election, just like any other, the winners of it will become notable, why not the election they're involved with. Karmafist 04:57, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • No vendetta here. But it's a non-notable article. I could write a similar article about thousands of cities across the world, and I feel that the subject is non-notable, and can't be expanded beyond a basic voter's guide (and, after the election, a news article reporting the results). I find your assumption of bad faith here disturbing. Ral315 (talk) 05:12, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • What I find disturbing is that you don't write a similiar article about the thousands of elections occuring like this across the world instead of just blithely slapping a tag on it despite the fact that you likely don't care either way. Karmafist 05:29, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, I do care. I would have nominated this whether it was you, or an IP. I would not write such articles, because I know they don't fit notability. My city of 75,000 people, and the neighboring city of 200,000 people, don't even have articles on their respective mayors- not because they couldn't be written, but because they're not automatically encyclopedic. Ral315 (talk) 06:05, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • That's where we disagree. Anyone elected to any public position is notable, as well as elections that elect them. I've put a transwiki to Wikibooks already, just as a backup in case this afd continues the way it's going. Karmafist 06:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom as non-notable Merrimackcruft. Would be appropriate for Wikimerrimack if there were one; Karmafist should make that part of the platform! But good luck in the election! Schizombie 05:22, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Smalltownelectioncruft. WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. CrypticBacon 05:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The winner of the elections will not automatically become notable. The method of city government is worth a mention on the town's article. Discussion of the elections for a particular year is probably of interest to residents but not many others. Capitalistroadster 05:52, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Major local political figures who receive significant press coverage. The question is, what is "significant"? I can almost guarantee 4-6 local papers will be covering the results, along with possibly a few radio stations and WMUR. Is that significant enough? Karmafist 06:10, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
