Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Windsor municipal election, 1991
Note that there are millions of towns in the world which have had elections for a hundred years or more reported in muliiple local and regional papers. Too trivial to be in an encyclopedia. I could create 100 such articles for small towns with newspaper microfilms but it would be too y. "We are not paper" is a poor excuse for limitless articles of no importance or use. Think of the number of stub articles if someone even stuck to elections for state assembly  and nation office, by district. http://dca.tufts.edu/features/aas/states/index.html for instance lists local votes from the states and counties from the 1780's through the 1820's. Each of these local elections was certainly written up in state and local papers, but what purpose is served by importing the data from such an external archive of election results into Wikipedia? Whyt attempt to mirror all information there is rather than just linking to it? More articles means more potential for accidental error or vandalism as well, and more things to occupy space on the watchlists of editors
