Northwest Territories general election, 1896
Page is obsolete and misleading Cloveious 06:03, 23 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete I created this article originally, as part of the early general elections of the Northwest Territories. There was no actual general election on this year, and it was based on some misleading sources, the election result listed was Federal in nature. The other information has been incorporated into proper articles. --Cloveious 05:17, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, it looks like User:Gcapp1959 created it last month. Since you and he have all of the substantial edits to that page, then if he comes here and votes delete, we should just speedy delete it (WP:CSD provides for that).  For now, I'm just voting delete, but that will change to speedy delete if Gcapp wants it deleted. --Idont Havaname 07:42, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Good point, I forgot it was a stub when I first worked on it, anyways the bottom line is, there was no Territorial election in 1886, except for a couple by elections. Please see List of Northwest Territories general elections I don't really care if its speedy or not, just as long as its cleaned up. --Cloveious 07:55, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete as per Gcapp1959. I created the stubs for 1897, for which I have read a historical remark many years ago, and for 1901. 1896 is unfamiliar to me. I will say that I've noticed repeated shuffling of Wikipedia articles for the years through the 1896-1905 period, and I don't know why. It just doesn't seem likely that there was more than the elections of 1897 and 1901, and since it was non-partisan before 1897, I doubt that federal authorities would have allowed elections at short intervals in such a sparsely-populated area before 1897.

 * Admin - We can now Speedy delete this article per criterion G7, since both of the authors of this page have voted to delete it (GBC is Gcapp1959). --Idont Havaname 16:40, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
