2022 Muntinlupa local elections

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article contains the assertion "Local elections were held in Muntinlupa on May 13, 2022"...

That could simply be re-written as "Local elections will be held in Muntinlupa on May 13, 2022" (please see the Commission on Elections (Philippines) countdown - "59 days before the May 9, 2022 National and Local Elections".

In my opinion, that would be quite inappropriate for a number of reasons, including but not limited to:
 * pure speculation about an election that has yet to happen
 * un-referenced speculation about living people who may contest that election

This article could be moved to a notional Draft:2022 Muntinlupa local elections until they happen. That would appear to me a way forward. I would argue that wait from 10 Mar 2022 to 9 May 2022 is too long to retain WP:CRYSTALBALL-ing about living people.

 * Speedy keep or withdraw the nomination and stop wasting our time. Unless Putin or Xi Jinping invades the Philippines, 2022 Philippine general election will surely happen. Campaigning for national positions began last month, and campaigning for local positions will begin in March 26. I've also added a reference about the election and made some clean-ups. I suppose a withdrawal of the nomination is in order? Howard the Duck (talk) 12:29, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep if I have understood the nomination correctly, or if the nomination cannot be understood. The nominator appears to be objecting to advance articles about planned elections in constitutional democracies.  Wikipedia has many articles about planned elections in constitutional democracies, such as 2022 gubernatorial election in Maryland, which is six months later.  Is there a problem with a verb tense?  So fix it.  Robert McClenon (talk) 02:05, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per Howard the Duck and Robert McClenon. To be honest, I clearly don't understand what the nominator's said behind the reason for deletion as it basically almost like a discussion on a talk page (although the last part is 18%-ish reason but the rest isn't either).

 * Keep nomination is literally negated by item 1 of WP:CRYSTALBALL. Also issue on grammar can be boldly fixed. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 11:33, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
