 * Speedy support, articles should never have been moved from long-standing titles without an RM to begin with, consensus was overwhelming in previous RM to revert anyway. SnowFire (talk) 22:06, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Move all but to "Senate election" not "Senate elections" per WP:NC-GAL. Number   5  7  11:10, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Disagree with this, though. Why do you think NC-GAL supports "election" for an overview article on multiple elections?  Even if it did, that just means the guideline should be updated.  It wasn't one election, it's 33-34 separate elections adjudicated under 33 different sets of rules, law, etc.  States are sovereign and run elections in the US.  SnowFire (talk) 15:26, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * These aren't articles on multiple elections though, they're articles on elections to a single body. EU members are sovereign but the election articles are still titled European Parliament election, 2014 etc. Number   5  7  16:12, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * "They're articles on elections to a single body" - Okay, but so what? That isn't in contention, just that they are separate elections, hence the plural.  I can't comment on the European case, but if nothing else, the common usage (ignoring questions of grammar) is to refer to "elections" in US news media, even if the elections are all to the same body.  See: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/us/elections/calendar-primary-results.html for an example.  SnowFire (talk) 16:26, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm just interested in having consistency of article titling across all countries and don't see why the US needs to be a special case (as unfortunately seems to be the case all too often on Wikipedia). And I would disagree with the claim that these are separate elections – it's a single election to a national legislature. Number   5  7  16:45, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It's not a single election. It's 33+ different elections, run by different governments, with different rules, all of which are summarized in this meta-article.  As this meta-article is a summary, it should remain plural: "elections."—GoldRingChip 16:51, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Again, I disagree with this interpretation. It's a regular election to a single body. But I'm not going to keep repeating this, so I'll bow out now and leave the closer to decide whose argument holds the most weight. Cheers, Number   5  7  16:57, 8 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment It seems that with the exception of United States Senate elections, 1940 and 1941, all the articles have already been moved to the requested name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.126.81.6 (talk) 16:53, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
