Per WP:INDISCRIMINATE/WP:NOTSTATS - not really clear what purpose this page is serving. It's a series of transclusions (mostly unsourced) from pre-existing results pages. Have read a few biographies of Hughes and as far as I'm aware no one has analysed his electoral record as a discrete "topic". I T B F 💬 17:51, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

- Keep this seems to be a reasonable approach to split-for-size. If there were only half-a-dozen election results, this would be appropriate content on Billy Hughes; with 25 election results it would be excessive. Walsh90210 (talk) 20:37, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep as a valid page split. --Enos733 (talk) 21:29, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. As Hughes was one of Australia's most notable politicians with a convoluted electoral history across multiple parties, parliaments, and electorates, it is handy to have the details set out clearly like this. I concur it would be excessive to put it in his bio page and makes more sense as a separate page. Axver (talk) 22:13, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep He was Australia's longest-serving federal MP, eight different parties including multiple leadership elections (all of which well documented) Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 22:13, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Makes for a very long article if merged with main article. A better option is to keep the page separate. Rockycape (talk) 11:53, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
