city (at least sub-county) level election results from 1898 are WP:NOT notable Gaijin42 ( talk) 03:03, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
- Merge to Pontypridd Urban District Council along with Pontypridd Urban District Council election, 1896 which could be included in this nomination. The history of the council (including early elections) should be covered but individual council elections two years apart seems a bit much. St★lwart 111 05:08, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

- Keep This article is part of a WikiProject to cover the electoral history of South Wales. The information on the page may appear limited at present but this will be expanded. If Wikipedia is to expand and become a recognised source of secondary information gleaned from various places on the web such pages as this will in time become increasingly common. Please to do not proceed with proposal. Will consider merging if this is thought appropriate. Many thanks. GlamElector ( talk)
- @ GlamElector in what way is this level of detail on city/sub-county elections from 100 years ago of encyclopedic value? This is a meta question, since presumably you intend to create articles for every welsh election, detailing elections where the total number of votes was in the low hundreds. In my opinion such a level of detail is unsustainable and inappropriate. You would end up with hundreds of thousands or even millions of articles to give local election coverage. A good rule of thumb would be if the people being elected in general do not pass WP:GNG or WP:POLITICIAN then neither does the election that put them in place.

- Redirect both after merging. No possible justification for a separate article on each election, the details of which are entirely trivial; the page on the council as a whole is a smallish stub. Do we really want a separate article for every election in every human settlement in the world? And if not, why would we want that for Wales? Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 08:54, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
- Note. Editor GlamElector has already merged the content from this page and Pontypridd Urban District Council election, 1896 to Pontypridd Urban District Council; I believe this could now be closed and the page redirected to that target at any time, and that thanks are due to GlamElector for being so willing to listen to the arguments of others.
