2020 Alderney by-election

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Alderney, 2000 inhabitants, is part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey (so not an independent country or dependency on its own).

Basically (though purists will disagree), this is a by-election for a seat on a small village council, nothing more. We usually don't even cover full elections per village, never mind this. Fram (talk) 07:13, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Alderney is a self-governing dependency of the Crown, it has its own government although through an agreement with Guernsey certain functions are seconded to Guernsey. Laws passed in Guernsey DO NOT apply to Alderney unless Alderney agrees. Laws passed by Alderney go to the Privy Council for approval, NOT Guernsey, so it is nothing like a village council, a comparison to Monaco or Liechtenstein would be better.

 * Monaco and Liechtenstein are completely self-governing, internationally recognised independent states. Alderney is more comparable to e.g. Flanders, but on a miniature scale (not that Flanders is that big, but still, 6 million vs. 2 thousand). Fram (talk) 07:58, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Note to closer for soft deletion:? This nomination has had limited participation and falls within the standards set for lack of quorum. There are no previous AfD discussions, undeletions, or current redirects and no previous PRODs have been located. This nomination may be eligible for soft deletion at the end of its 7-day listing. --Cewbot (talk) 00:03, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment it seems that merging all the articles to a single article on "Elections in Alderney" would be an improvement. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 18:53, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Proposal On reflection, by-elections are quite small affairs, and I think it would be best if each were combined with the full election in which the resigned/deceased member was appointed, this would explain changes to the list of elected representatives, so the 2020 by election information is added to the 2018 election as it was a 2018 elected individual being replaced. No change to the title of the 2018 election. Ânes-pur-sàng wiki 22:50, 23 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Merge The information on elections is encyclopedic and deserves to be included on Wikipedia but there probably isn't enough information on each election to justify a separate page. I would therefore recommend that this is merged into a single page covering all elections in Alderney Tracland (talk) 18:08, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
