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).

I think it is better not to have such a completely empty article 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.
