This does not seem to have been a notable election. The Republicans didn't even run a candidate and the incumbent Democrat won in a landslide versus a third-party candidate. I cannot find sources outside of Lancaster itself that bothered to cover it. Apocheir (talk) 00:27, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lancaster is a large enough city to be on the Elections in Pennsylvania infobox, there is no reason to delete it, despite the candidates that may have ran. GeorgeBailey (talk) 01:41, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please review WP:GNG. Notability requires significant coverage, and this page's references consist of only routine local news coverage and the city's own website. I didn't find any significant coverage of this election elsewhere, although you're welcome to try as well.

That said, notability just means it doesn't deserve its own page, not that it doesn't deserve to be mentioned on Wikipedia at all. Another option for this page (and maybe the other Lancaster elections) would be to merge some of the content to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, List of mayors of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and/or Danene Sorace.

Delete or merge Not notable enough to have its own article. Doctormatt (talk) 07:00, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

keep or mass merge there are articles about a ton of lancaster elections, so either merge EVERY article into one, or give it time to grow, -a really self-degrading name(speak of the devil)- 16:39, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into a new Mayoral elections in Lancaster, Pennsylvania or List of mayoral elections in Lancaster, Pennsylvania article, alongside the other ones. This election is not notable enough for its own article IMO. Number 5 7 11:48, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete Entirely non-notable for a small town. Delete the rest of them as well. Wikipedia is wrong for these kind of article, they would be better in town website or something like that. They will just be continued being attacked for being non-notable. scope_creep^Talk 14:30, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
