Not a particularly useful list of lists. The lists for each local authority would be more appropriate on the local elections article for their respective local authorities, e.g. the list of wards in Barking and Dagenham should be included instead on Barking and Dagenham London Borough Council elections. These articles currently lack key topics, and the lists of wards are long and unwieldy without including any insight. dummelaksen ( talk • contribs) 15:44, 9 April 2023 (UTC) reply

I am also nominating the lists for the other ceremonial counties of England (except Wards of the City of London) for the same reason:

Keep I’m not sure there is a strong deletion rationale here, and to delete in such a scale I’d want to be persuaded there was something fundamentally wrong with these articles. If nothing else these lists are useful for tracking changes to both constituencies and the local authorities they fall within iver time. I’m open to persuasion if I’ve missed something of course.

@ Mccapra: I'm in favour of keeping the actual content of the articles, but I don't think this is the right way to present it: district wards have very little to do with the ceremonial counties they're in, or with the wards in other districts in the same county. I agree, it is useful for keeping track of changes to the local authorities they're in, but in that case, they would be more effective in that regard – and easier to find – in articles about those authorities. dummelaksen ( talk • contribs) 17:29, 9 April 2023 (UTC) reply

ok well I’m not sure whether AfD is the best place to discuss that proposal. Mccapra ( talk) 20:12, 9 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Keep - This is a whole lot of info to be proposing to delete and I'm not hugely convinced that putting it into the elections article for each council will work well. With Cornwall, the council has already gone through three different sets of ward maps since 2009 and I think just lumping them (plus future wards) at the end of the Cornwall Council elections page will make it ungainly. In any case, this is so many different articles with so many different things to think about that deleting them all at once would do much more harm than good IMO.

Keep The number of wards, both concurrently and over time, means that very quickly they will need to be split out from the elections pages for size and comprehension reasons so we'd be right back here. I might support a split of List of electoral wards in Greater London to separate lists per borough, but that's not an AfD matter. Thryduulf ( talk) 13:04, 10 April 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete all This is the sort of thing that belongs on the respective council articles or relevant election pages, not grouped for each county. Reywas92^Talk 04:53, 11 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Keep listing at ceremonial county is probably most useful. Articles appear to have sufficient sources and wards are likely notable. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 15:58, 11 April 2023 (UTC) reply
