I'm not saying you should necessarily work on the article until it meets GA
standards - but you could easily write a stub in ~30 seconds of the quality
I moved the Haitian election article to. It seems silly to propose deleting
such a worthwhile topic.

Correction--it does show the presidential result. I think that does
make sense, and that such a stub is acceptable. (I note the original
version entered did not have the box).

especially as one of a series, because if it is not there it will show
up as a red link in the Haitian elections infobox at the bottom, thus
making it clear that there is an article that still needs to be
written.
I do not think it helps the encyclopedia for people to turn to an
article and find no information at all. (Though I think in a case like
this they might realize that its a series under construction). At the
very least, it could have shown the result for President!

If you don't delete they get the tagging to add to their edit count.
