Candidates in the New Zealand general election 2005 by party

 * – ( View AfD View log )

We already have Party lists in the New Zealand general election, 2005 and Candidates in the New Zealand general election 2005 by electorate. This seems to be a duplicate that is not replicated in any other New Zealand election. Mattlore (talk) 09:22, 29 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - Useful parsing of encyclopedic material which does not directly duplicate either Party lists in the New Zealand general election, 2005 or Candidates in the New Zealand general election 2005 by electorate. If one were going after any of these three on the basis of lowest utility, the former of these two unchallenged lists would seem the one to go... But Wikipedia Is Not Paper, so why?

 * Comment if kept the tables should have the sorting functionality enabled. Stuartyeates (talk) 04:42, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep or merge I'm scratching my head over this one. I would certainly like to achieve consistency across the various general elections, so this being the odd one out doesn't sit right. It is, however, hardly possible to gain what is happening on a party basis from the '2005 by electorate' article, and not every party candidate appears on a list, as the 'party lists, 2005' does not list all the contenders. So we either keep this article, or else we could merge it with the 'party lists, 2005' article, and list those who did not appear on a list underneath the respective table. Good to bring this up, Mattlore!  Schwede 66  17:44, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * CommentI would be keen to merge it into the 'party lists, 2005' article by listing those who did not appear on the list underneath. Perhaps we could add such a table to the 08 and 11 articles as well. Mattlore (talk) 20:06, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
