Per WP:NOTDATABASE. While the elections themselves and politicians being elected are indubitably notable, ongoing opinion poll scores can hardly be argued to be "a summary of accepted knowledge regarding its subject." (WP:NOTEVERYTHING). Kleuske (talk) 12:13, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep — Utterly bizarre deletion request. Polling pages have been around forever. Is the idea to delete every single one, both past and future? Of course this article should be kept. Spaastm (talk) 00:03, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Red X symbolN Keep. Does not meet WP:NOTDATABASE and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. Elk Salmon (talk) 04:23, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, of course — Just like every other "polls page for the next election" in every country. MaeseLeon (talk) 09:22, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and keep all other opinion polling articles in Wikipedia. Ed88 (talk) 11:07, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Opinion polling articles usually exist as splits of the articles for the election due to size concerns. Especially when there is a lot of polling such as here. TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 16:19, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NOTDATABASE. To quote the exact rule: "Excessive listings of unexplained statistics" are discouraged but goes on to give an example of a proper use of statistics: "statistics from the main article 2012 United States presidential election have been moved to a related article Nationwide opinion polling for the 2012 United States presidential election". This is the same situation here.Yeoutie (talk) 19:15, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Clearly an acceptable article for the site. SportingFlyer T·C 10:07, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to a larger discussion on whether there's any value in maintaining rolling opinion poll graphs like this at all anymore, but in the absence of a consensus to quash them all across the board there's no reason to single the German election polling out as uniquely less noteworthy than every other country's election polling.
