WP:TOOSOON The next election to the Assembly of Extremadura isn't due until 2030. The article's content is copied from previous election articles with just a few minor amendments made for dates etc. Nothing that can be described as encyclopedic content.

I am not proposing draftifying as articles should only be moved to draft space if they are likely to become notable in the near future. Four years isn't the near future. Drafts may deleted after six months. Draftifying shouldn't be used as back door to deletion. Obi2canibe (talk) 20:39, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Speedy keep. Article covers an event that is notable and almost certain to take place (per WP:FUTURE), and already contains information and speculation about a repeat election taking place following the previous election as government negotiations were problematic, as well as information on new candidates (particularly the PSOE's), so it already clears TOOSOON. Also, note that snap elections are possible and that 2030 is the latest possible legal date, not a fixed date (for example, the 2025 Extremaduran regional election took place slightly over two years since the previous one). This nomination is also contradictory with the nom's own argument in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Next Brandenburg state election, where they argued for a "Speedy keep" noting that "It's now standard practice to create articles for the next election as soon as the current election is over, even if the date is variable/not known e.g. Next United Kingdom general election, Next Spanish general election. If there are specific issues with the article, editors should try to fix the issue or place an appropriate maintenance tag so that other editors are aware, rather than pressing the nuclear button to delete the article." That assertion was true back then and remains true to this day. Note other similar AfDs resulting in "Keep" due to specific verifiable information already existing on future elections, such as:

Delete per WP:TOOSOON election takes place in 2030 which is way too far in advance for a page. Agnieszka653 (talk) 02:13, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

TOOSOON does not relate to any point of time (we have 2032 Summer Olympics for example). And as stated above, the next election does not have to be held in 2030, but by 2030; that is why the article is titled "next" and not "2030". The 2025 election was held much earlier than scheduled. There is already sourced speculation and verifiable information available. Impru20^talk 08:41, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: In this particular context, the existence of other "next" election type articles is *not* determinative of notability, the existence of sourcing (or not) is the crucial point. Contributors should address whether or not there is reliable sourcing to satisify a stand alone article.
