Keep: A
content fork is a "piece of content [...] that has the same scope as another piece of content". This article is clearly a much narrower scope, and offers additional information in a concise format. Additionally, the list of all speaker elections is of enormous length already and inflating its size is not warranted, per
WP:LENGTH. It also meets the criteria for
stand-alone lists.

Keep it's true that this is a fork, but due its narrow scope, it meets the criteria of
WP:NLIST. With the notability of the current speaker elections once again not meeting the first vote threshold, it is also notable again.

I strongly suggest retaining the current table format as it allows one to quickly compare them. I think it should be moved to one of the page and included in other using Transclusion, if it decided against keeping as separate page

Merge with both using
WP:TRANS as above. Not sure which page it should be moved to and which should use transclusion. However, I will say that having this as a separate page has proved useful to me by being available in ″see also″ sections.

Merge with
Speaker of the United States House of Representatives#Notable elections as proposed by others. I also actually object to the inclusion of the current Speaker election on this list, and given that this list seems to have been created in response to the current election, question the need for a separate list. The reason is that, so far, the current speaker election does not qualify for inclusion on this list. It has gone multiple ballots, but it has not been decided yet, and therefore does not belong on a list of decided elections. It remains entirely possible that the current election will never be decided, and some other solution--like giving McHenry some additional powers without formally electing him speaker or formally resolving the election--may be adopted. So I favor a merge, but if we keep the list as is, the current election does not belong on this list until it has been decided, which it has not as yet.

Merge to both with bias toward deletion if merge is unsuccessful. This does not pass
WP:NLIST and is (contrary to opinion above) clearly a
WP:CONTENTFORK. You don't have to replicate the entire scope to duplicate existing articles' coverage. Cheers,
