Next Pakistani general election

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Subject does not appear to meet GNG so delete per WP:TOOSOON Saqib (talk) 20:41, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Oppose deletion: we are not exactly certain that the election will be held in 5 years seeing as the government currently has a slim majority so new elections could be called either voluntarily or involuntarily. Even then, precedent on other countries election pages show that the page for the next election is already created as soon as the old election is finished. For example, Next Turkish general election, Next United Kingdom general election and Next German federal election were all created not too long after the previous elections were finished. As per these reasons, I oppose deletion. маsтегрна таLк  21:29, 4 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment - I wouldn't say that TOOSOON applies (most countries can be very confident on it), and while OTHERSTUFFEXISTS doesn't make a good basis for sourcing etc claims, things like this it isn't unreasonable. Given the various things that could full under it (have a look at its counterparts) then it's easy to come up with sources, though in its current form it would be difficult. It's a little odd since the article's remit is more flexible than in most articles. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:53, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep, generally these articles turn into redirects once the election date has been officially finalised. See Next New Zealand general election per example. Ajf773 (talk)
 * Speedy keep No problem with articles like this, and we generally have them quite soon after the previous election was held. Number   5  7  20:47, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per Nuber57. We could also put the opinion poll. --Panam2014 (talk) 04:09, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment There currently aren’t any opinions polls so this is definitely too soon маsтегрна  таLк  17:00, 6 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete as WP:TOSOON applies here. Saying that the government is weak is not something that would allow the article to be kept. Keep The democracy in Pakistan is unreliable, we can never be sure about the exact elections date. And I agree with Masterpha. Knightrises10 (talk) 18:21, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
 * the democracy is unreliable : it is for that if it is the case, the elections would be held before 5 years. And after 1999 coup, the elections have been held in 2002, 5 years after 1997 elections. --Panam2014 (talk) 20:18, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Thinking over it, I think there is no harm in keeping the article. You are right. Knightrises10 (talk) 01:57, 7 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep as per precedent. Störm   (talk)  17:30, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
