Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amagasaki mayoral election, 2002
I agree that some of the very small ones are unlikely to be notable, but there are some in here where well over 100,000 votes were cast (e.g. Niigata mayoral election, 2006 and Kumamoto mayoral election, 2006) so I don't think it's been bundled appropriately. District council elections in the UK have been repeatedly determined to be notable at AfD and can be for very small jurisdictions (e.g. the Shetland Islands Council election, 2017|Shetland Islands). I think a discussion, possibly an RfC, should be held at somewhere like &R or  to determine what level of local government should be a cut-off point for election articles (perhaps List of cities in Japan|cities?). Some of the nominated articles (e.g. Niigata and Kumamoto) are designated cities which have many of the powers of a prefecture, which is the second tier of government in Japan
