2023 Indian Rajya Sabha elections

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article on an election two years into the future. Apparently 'not a candidate' for speedy, so let's try AfD. Fails WP:V and WP:CRYSTALBALL. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:55, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. It may be early, but CBALL allows articles for future events like 2026 Winter Olympics or 2024 United States Senate elections, as long as they are almost certain to happen and concrete preparations are underway. Borderline premature but not for long. • Gene93k (talk) 20:38, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The article already shows results for an election that hasn't taken place. And nothing in it, or in the source cited, says that this election definitely will take place at the time mentioned. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 22:38, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Indian upper house elections happen on staggered fix terms with at least 10 seats scheduled for 2023, barring an asteroid strike. The content issue with the infobox is a common editor mistake with copying from existing articles, a basic WP:SOFIXIT. The question should be whether there is enough verifiable information yet. • Gene93k (talk) 00:47, 8 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep It's a scheduled event almost certain to take place, so it's not a WP:CRYSTALBALL failure. Needs fixing rather than deleting if there are issues. Number   5  7  12:35, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as articles about next elections are often kept and edited. There is useful information to be gained about the next election. We can fill in the results once it happens.--DreamLinker (talk) 16:15, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per above, plus it's useful knowledge to have access to for those interested in elections and already being discussed in Indian media.
