Merger proposal
I propose that United Nations Secretary-General election, 2016 be merged into United Nations Secretary-General selection, 2016. I think that the content in the election article can easily be explained in the context of selection, and the selection article is of a reasonable size that the merging of election will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. And this one is more accurate and complete. --Wildcursive (talk) 23:03, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Strongly support: the "election" article is thinner and only duplication. Wikiain (talk) 23:17, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Support. Makes sense. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 04:12, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Support merging. - Mardus /talk 13:50, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Support No need for a duplicate page. --Killuminator (talk) 22:08, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Support No need for a duplicate page. -- IndexAccount (talk) 07:31, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Strongly support, since the two articles are effectively duplicates.--TommyBoy (talk) 01:07, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Strongly support I suggest to eliminate the election article as everything in it is already included in the selection article -- ivoluissantos (talk) 11:15, 20 September 2016 (UTC)


 * comment merging is fine as this was bigger, but the title is more consistent with "election." He is after ll elected (even non popular elections are call so)Lihaas (talk) 12:00, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Please merge the histories of the two articles.Lihaas (talk) 12:00, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Christiana Figueres
This media outlet suggests that Christiana Figueres withdrew her candidacy. It's in Spanish and Google Translate isn't the most reliable tool. Can a Spanish speaking user confirm it ? This is the article. --Killuminator (talk) 22:16, 31 August 2016 (UTC) The polls in the article seem to indicate this I done.Lihaas (talk) 12:01, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

not the 9th to succeed
Guterres is not "the ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations to succeed Ban Ki-moon". He was elected to succeed Ban Ki-moon as the ninth SG of the UN". --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 16:34, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Srgjan Kerim candidacy
At the time of this selection, North Macedonia was "FYROM" or "FYR Macedonia" within the UN. This was also how the candidacy was presented:
