As er previous discussions at Wikiproject UK Geography, wards do not come under WP:NPLACE, and such must meet WP:GNG. This article does not meet GNG, as it only has two supplies of reference, 1. Southend-on-Sea City Council electoral records which are not independent, ans 2. A Thesis of electiral results from Plymouth University which clearly does not meet GNG, being it is a list of results Davidstewartharvey (talk) 12:43, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  But how does it neet GNG. Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia not a Gazetter and this article is just a list of local election results, which is not encyclopedic. None of the references are anything but official results or results that have been collated from official results. Davidstewartharvey (talk) 20:12, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Comment. I find the delete arguments very week per Wikipedia:Gazetteer which I happily endorse. But am not sure whether or not this page makes sense as a separate article. Eluchil404 (talk) 00:43, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  That is just an essay, which is not an official guideline of Wikipedia. User:MRSC has stated that the page does not meet the SNG WP:NPLACE in previous chat, and as per the RfC 2 years ago, the Gazetter part of Wikipedia is highly contested when it comes to just data. As a separate page they don't meet the SNG, as discussed at the Wikiproject with a consensus reached, so must meet GNG, which they don't. It is impossible to transfer this data to the related settlement, which then you could argue would mean that the Settlement meets GNG, the data is then a Gazetter, but as this ward crosses both the boundary of [[Southend-on-Sea][ and Westcliff-on-Sea I don't think it is possible.
