Despite sources existing, there is no reason for this article to exist separate from 2024 United States presidential election in Wyoming#Republican caucuses. There it can be sufficiently covered in one sentence. Esolo5002 (talk) 00:41, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge In uncontested race, results are easily and best covered in main article. Reywas92^Talk 03:52, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Still has enough sources to maintain it's own article despite the single candidate. I would argue that some of the citations should be removed because they are not related to the primary. This would be 7, 8, 9, and maybe the sixth one. There are partially related to the race in Wyoming, but are more general for the overall election. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 17:15, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This brings up Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2024 Alaska Democratic presidential caucuses, where Biden is the only presidential candidate, and only 15 delegates. I don't necessarily have a strong opinion on any of them. But I do think there should be a guideline consistency in how these small caucuses are handled. I don't know that there is a guideline of any direction for these situations. — Maile (talk) 03:05, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect/merge Adds no value to WP as a teeny stub (WP:REDUNDANT). As Esolo5002 states, a trivial uncontested primary of this type can be easily covered in one sentence in the main article. Feels like people create these non-articles purely to check off the redlinks in Template:2024 Republican primaries, but many of those links just need to be a redirect to "<Year> United States presidential election in <state>#Republican caucuses". 2024 Nebraska Republican presidential primary falls into the same category. I'd go as far as to say that being a section in the main <election in state> article should be the default, with caucuses only getting a standalone article when there's some major controversy or it was a bigger/more heavily contested primary. Even minorly contested primaries like 2024 Washington Republican presidential primary (Trump vs. Haley) are really just a results box that could be as easily slotted into the main article.

Merge. There just aren't enough happenings to justify this article.--Mpen320 (talk) 23:35, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
