English general election, November–December 1701 → English general election, November 1701 – Per : "per WP:CONCISE and because WP:PRECISE and WP:RECOGNIZABLE and WP:NATURAL are all satisfied by the shorter name; it will also be more WP:CONSISTENT with other such articles, though we made need to do additional work on that (it's likely that a few others are unnecessarily giving over-precise ranges when a simpler identifier will do). Remember that our article titles are not definitions, they're just labels detailed enough that the average editor will understand whether they've found the right page." --Neve~selbert~ 18:53, 10 March 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

 * Comment The discussion and result at Talk:United_Kingdom_general_election,_January_1910 largely centered upon (1) reliable sources favouring a reference only to January 1910 and (2) only a few contests actually occurring in February 1910. Compare: Talk:United Kingdom general election, 1832–33 where a similar move request was endorsed. Shadow007 (talk) 01:51, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The two interwiki links (French and Korean) list this as the December 1701 election. Of the two months, why did you pick November? Dekimasu よ! 08:39, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Because (a) the election started in November and (b) consistency with United Kingdom general election, January 1910.--Neve~selbert 16:57, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
