Next Israeli legislative election

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I respect the article creator's decision to create an article on this topic, but I'm not sure there's material to base an article on at this time - pretty much everything here is "background" (like that Netanyahu is the leader of Likud and that Barak resigned from Labor in January 2011) rather than material actually about the election, either speculative or concrete.

The title is also a problem - if kept, the article would have to be moved (to something like "Israeli legislative election 2013") and to have the original title deleted, because titles/redirects with "next" go out of date. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 00:48, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Marokwitz (talk) 08:08, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * keep look. There are lots of "westminister-style" governments that have articles like this. They are listed as "The next whomever's election" and nobody has deleted them. We don't know when the election will take place, but the preliminaries have already started. I figure that this is a stub of sorts and by the time that it is finished, it won't look anything like the way it is now, but we have to start somewhere, and that's what wikipedia is all about...Ericl (talk) 12:23, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete—article might theoretically be viable, but at this point it needs a complete 100% rewrite to be so, and therefore there's no point in keeping it. The lead describes the conditions for early elections, which may or may not be relevant here (WP:CRYSTAL). Same with the other stuff—do we know that Livni and Netanyahu will be running in the next election? Maybe just one of them, or neither? Also, the entire article is OR and not supported by reliable sources. —Ynhockey (Talk) 14:20, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. Better a title that will go out of date than one that's plain wrong. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:23, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Bring it back when the elections are called or 2-3 months before its date. Happy138 (talk) 06:06, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Articles like these are fairly common. They also, however, tend to be a lot more fleshed out, with opinion polling and issues and whatnot.  This article needs a ton of improvement from someone familiar with the topic, but deletion is a poor substitute for the stub tag. 209.6.164.8 (talk) 02:19, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article doesn't actually say anything about the next elections. All it includes is a little background information on major Israeli political parties. Poliocretes (talk) 08:23, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete This is all pure speculation and opinion. It is way too early to see if any of this will pan out. --Kylfingers (talk) 19:55, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
