Merge

Syracuse mayoral elections are hosted on one page. This page should be merged into Mayoral elections in Syracuse, New York. Paging Cameremote, Onikaburgers, and Yoblyblob, who participated in the deletion discussion. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 23:18, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support: I support the merge of 2025 Syracuse mayoral election into Mayoral elections in Syracuse, New York. The topics are closely related, and combining the pages would improve coherence and reduce redundancy. Also, the broader page provides more context for the elections and would be a better home for this content. Cameremote (talk) I came from a remote place 00:55, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I support merging the 2025 Syracuse mayoral election into Mayoral elections in Syracuse, New York per guidelines on notability WP:NOTABILITY and content merging WP:MERGE. The standalone article is extremely short, consisting of barely one sentence and a list of candidates, which does not establish independent notability beyond what is covered in the broader article. I would even say this makes it harder on the readers as it lacks the context provided by the broader article. WP:STUB encourages merging such incomplete content into a related, more comprehensive article to provide better context and avoids fragmentation. WP:REDUNDANTFORK suggests consolidating closely related topics to improve coherence and accessibility for readers. As this election lacks significant coverage and or independent notability to justify a standalone article, merging it into the main mayoral elections page would enhance the overall quality and readability of the information. Frankly, I thought this conclusion was self-evident by looking at the articles in question, so I do not understand the result speedy keep in the last nomination.
