WP:TOOSOON. There is time enough for an article on these local elections when reliable, independent sources start spending serious attention on them. The source in the article doesn't even mention Newport, and reading that page gives me the impression that things are still in flux anyway. Even if fixed, the time to create these articles is when they become notable events as evidenced by news articles, not earlier. Fram (talk) 11:48, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, with no issues of it being re-created nearer the time, with some decent sourcing. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 12:28, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:TOOSOON and we do not know if an election will definitely take place in 2022. Ajf773 (talk) 00:14, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The issue is not in flux, the Welsh Government have confirmed the Council term will be 5 years and this is notable. A number of Council elections pages are poor quality or not yet created on Wikipedia, particularly in Wales, so deleting articles will only hurt coverage further.
