Ethiopian general election, 2010

fails WP:CRYSTAL. Yes, it will almost certainly happen, but there isn't yet the information to justify an article Ironholds (talk) 13:45, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep No different than United Kingdom local elections, 2010. It's scheduled to happen, it'll be even more notable if it doesn't.  Lugnuts  (talk) 16:22, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep since there is a sourced date for it. Smile a While (talk) 19:11, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The usual practice is that the next scheduled election is a legitimate topic, whereas articles like "2016 U.S. Presidential Election" are too speculative to be of any value beyond a placeholder. As such, I see no problem in making a format that can be followed as one gets closer to the June 12, 2010 election-- which is going to be sooner than  November 2, 2010 voting.

 * Redirect to and mention prominently on Elections in Ethiopia, until we have something to say on the matter. 81.111.114.131 (talk) 01:21, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It appears the source that was cited only mentioned 12 June 2009, to do with challenges in the Iran presidential election, 2009, and makes no mention of 12 June 2010. For what it's worth, if it works on a pentennial system, the election would be in May.  81.111.114.131 (talk) 01:26, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect etc., same as above. So far I don't think it includes enough information to warrant its own article. Spongefrog,  (I am a flesh-eating robot)  09:18, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
