Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2022 Missouri State Auditor election

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. As SportingFlyer indicates, there is a string of articles on state auditor elections. If the nominator proposes to delete/merge all of them, it probably makes sense to have an "omnibus discussion" of sorts on those grounds. In the meantime, Power~enwiki is probably right that this article is a touch too soon, but with no obvious place to redirect and the fact that this is the next auditor election in the state, keeping seems like the obvious solution at this time. Relisting to let this conversation play out for another week does not seem likely to change the contours of the discussion, so I am going to go ahead and close at this time without prejudice against a renomination if the nominator (or anyone else) wants to make a broader case about this class of articles.

No indication of anything notable about this particular election about this particular position. Perhaps the overall election cycle. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:39, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We have a string of articles on this, so I'm not sure if you're proposing to delete all of them for being non-notable, which is possible but it is a statewide office so probably at worst a selective merge, or if you're saying this is WP:TOOSOON, which is probably true.

Weak Keep it's probably TOOSOON, but the obvious merge to 2022 Missouri elections isn't possible. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:16, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify I think until more candidates announce they are running it can be draftified. JayJay^{What did I do?} 04:19, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - election is next year and there's enough information on it already. Not much point in deleting only to recreate soon. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 17:02, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
