The result was   delete. Since there are stated to be no reliable sources for an election in Delhi in 2014 this clearly can't stay under any policy. If anyone thinks they can find a target for any sourced material I'd be prepared to discuss a smerge. Spartaz Humbug! 09:53, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Delhi Legislative Assembly election, 2014

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is not an encyclopedic topic. The last elected assembly has not yet been dissolved and there is no use of making speculations on wikipedia. Rahul (talk) 13:27, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete It is only opinion of an editor that elections 'may' be held in 2014  not backed by any reference.The current assembly's life is up to December 2018. The house constituted in December 2013  has not yet been dissolved. It has only been suspended with the governor keeping the option of exploring the possibility of forming the government open. Therefore this is pure speculation to state that the next assembly election may be held in 2014. Shyamsunder (talk) 20:32, 20 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep, without knowing facts Article is nominated for deletion. But making speculations comment by User:The Rahul Jain !!!!, is totally baseless. If we read constitution of India, there are maximum chances of Delhi election this year only. GKCH (talk) 10:57, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep but under a different article title. The problem here is the title of the article. As Rahul and Shyamsunder rightly point out, a "Delhi Legislative Assembly election, 2014" is speculation. Section 5 of The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991 prescribes five year terms for the assembly... "unless sooner dissolved". The Assemblies so far have followed this. I've moved the article to what in my opinion is a better name. (Please feel free to revert this or disagree in any other way.) Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 11:53, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Please undo this move and wait until afd discussion is over. ThanksShyamsunder (talk) 12:01, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * That would be a backwards step. We've identified the problem, now lets look for a solution.  I'm quite happy to consider this a Redirects for discussion, and close it now as an overwhelming WP:SNOW decision to delete "Delhi Legislative Assembly election, 2014" as a redirect to President's rule of Delhi, 2014. I'm afraid to say I see very little merit in the sole dissent to that here. (Some people might consider President's rule of Delhi, 2014 to be WP:NOTNEWS.  I certainly don't think so.) How about that for an outcome? --Shirt58 (talk) 08:35, 23 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep/Move While it is probably premature to have an article on an out-of-cycle election that might or might not take place, Delhi is a sufficiently major city that Wikipedia should be covering local political events that attract sustained national media coverage. So even if it was not entirely advisable to move the article to President's rule of Delhi, 2014 in the middle of an AfD, the article is sufficiently sourced, and on-topic relative to this title, to be kept as a standalone article - though, once events have developed further one way or another, it may turn out to be sensible to merge it as one section of a larger article on the entire course of events.

 * Delete Speculation based page, no notability right now. If BJP forms government in Delhi then this page is irrelevant. If election announced after 5-6 months (when President's Rule end), then this page should be create again.-- Prateek Malviya Talk 09:31, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
