The result was keep. Punting the title discussion to the move request system; it seems like the arguments in favour of the "Next" name are better but that should be tested in a dedicated discussion. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:09, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Next Indian general election

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is nothing to say about the 2024 Indian General Election yet, the only citation is to cite that "it is not yet clear" whether a particular candidate will run, which is a perfect illustration why this article is premature. It previously redirected to the page for the 2019 general election, which was /this week/, so it's no longer appropriate to call it the "next" election, or else I'd just revert the edits since.

 * Strongly Keep, but remodel the article on the lines of Next United Kingdom general election and Next Pakistani general election. --Sundostund (talk) 04:14, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Remove, not sure why suddenly it is generically named as Next Indian general election, and my page 2024 Indian general election was considered as duplicate to keep this article and which was performed without a discussion. We need to agree on proper defined article naming convention and almost 543 Lok sabha consituency page has the link with naming conventions as [Year Indian general election] or [Indian general election, Year]-Lesenwriter (talk) 06:41, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
 * The reason 2024 Indian general election is in appropriate is because 2024 is not the certain year of the next election – early elections could be held. We already have a defined naming convention for election articles at WP:NC-GAL. The former is the correct format – it was changed from the latter last year. Number   5  7  11:29, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Standard practice to have an article on the next election, even if few details are known. The article could be expanded with details of the electoral system. Number   5  7  11:28, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Move Although this is not recommended(Drafts). This article should be allowed to grow as a draft and then moved to the mainspace when there is enough information or the election is on the horizon.Manabimasu (talk) 20:54, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep,As mentioned above but model the articles as the Next United Kingdom general election and Next Pakistani general election.(Copyediting)Manabimasu (talk) 21:02, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep — It is a standard procedure to make articles for next parliamentary elections even if the details thereof are scarce. Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 10:37, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep — Per Sundostund (talk)-The same modle --MA Javadi (talk) 19:57, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep — Per . JDuggan101  talk. &#124;  Cont. 20:33, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep — But one needs to move the page to a more suitable name such as "2024 Indian general election" and not some "next". Justlookingforthemoment (talk) 06:26, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * @ as far as I am aware, India does allow snap elections; so wouldn't this mean if a specific year is used for the title then it comes under WP:SPECULATION. JDuggan101  talk. &#124;  Cont. 10:20, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * By default India's government should be elected after every 5 years, unless of course the present one loses majority and gets dissolved. Of course no one can tell - and I respect your opinion for that matter, but don't you think that the huge victory of BJP and Narendra Modi will have any chance of losing majority. Also - The name "Next Indian general election" is really an article title? Next is not at all justifiable, and the title needs to be changed anyway if not to the former, then at least some other such as "18th Indian general election" or "Indian general election for the 18th Lok Sabha" or something like that.

 * , As it has been mentioned by : the use of Next is due to current naming conventions, and unless you see a need to change this convention the use of Next is currently expected for almost all upcoming election articles.  JDuggan101  talk. &#124;  Cont. 12:27, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh thanks, I got it! This naming convention is not only used for India but also for other upcoming elections as well, such as Next United Kingdom general election, Next Croatian presidential election, Next Irish general election and Next German federal election among others.
