Deletion discussion about 2021 Douglas borough council election

Hello Vessarlian, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, 2021 Douglas borough council election, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2021 Douglas borough council election.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|North8000}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

@North8000:

Hi North8000,

Unfortunately I only saw the discussion on deleting the article after it had already been concluded so was unable to present my view.

Whilst I understand your points regarding notability and the examples of similar/larger towns having their local election results deleted, I feel these are completely unfair comparisons as they are obscure towns, whereas Douglas is the capital city of the Isle of Man.

Surely the capital city of a country, no matter how small, should have its elections properly documented? It seems strange that this isn't so, especially when Isle of Man Wiki is extremely limited already and a lot of election information is difficult to find for most people.

I assume it is too late and this comment is practically useless, however I hope you understand my point, and I was wondering if there is any way for me to access the deleted info?

Hello @Vessarlian: The term wp:notability can be misleading. Here's just my brief words about the gist of it: A main point of it and various other policies and guidelines including wp:not is that Wikipedia is an enclyclopedia which presents encyclopedia information in article form. And the core aspect of wp:notability is the existence of (typically at least 2) sources that cover the topic in-depth from which to develop an article which should be mostly prose. So that is very different than the real world meaning of "notability". And so while the statistics/results of the elections could be a part of such an article, while it may be that the statistics etc. on an election should be properly documented, it is not the mission of / place for an enclyclopedia to do that.

On your last question, the simplest way to get access to the contents is to ask any admin (I'm not one) to userfy the article which means put a copy of it into your user space. If you want to pursue it further as a separate article you can contest the deletion right now (which I would not recommend) or if it's in your user space you could search for sources that cover the election in-depth (prose type coverage) and add them and material developed from them into the copy of the article. If you do and accomplish the latter and would like any help from me on putting it back into mainspace I'd be happy to and just ping me.

My general advice is that elections like this are inherently primarily "stats only" type info and it would be better and more fun to spend you wiki-time on other types of articles. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 18:37, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
