Singaporean presidential election, 2023

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Clear crystal ball exercise, written in the past tense even though it is scheduled to happen next decade. Carrite (talk) 12:55, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Needs rewriting in the correct tense (which I've now done), but not a crystal ball exercise; we have numerous articles on elections scheduled to happen in the next decade (United States presidential election, 2020, Norwegian parliamentary election, 2021, French presidential election, 2022, which are explicitly allowed under WP:CRYSTAL.

 * With all due respect, all three of you have piled onto a wrong interpretation of the Crystal Ball exemption for future events. Here's a direct quote instead of a link to something you think the guideline policy says that it doesn't actually: "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. Dates are not definite until the event actually takes place. If preparation for the event is not already in progress, speculation about it must be well documented. Examples of appropriate topics include the 2020 U.S. presidential election and 2024 Summer Olympics. By comparison, the 2032 U.S. presidential election and 2040 Summer Olympics or events surrounding the 250th anniversary of the United States of America in 2026 are not appropriate article topics if nothing can be said about them that is verifiable and not original research." There is NOTHING about a prospective election in Singapore six years hence that isn't speculative... Carrite (talk) 16:54, 12 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I additionally note that the country has had direct Presidential elections only since 1991, according to Presidential elections in Singapore... Who is to say that there will be another election on schedule six years from now? It's not a definite thing... There have been no preparations for it...

 * The Presidential election is highly likely to happen in 2023, unless the President resigns or is removed from office in other ways. Politically, there is little need for a President to request for a snap election, so it's unlikely for the election to occur earlier. And while you say there is "NOTHING" about a prospective election, there has already been coverage in the national newspaper about a candidate considering another bid in 2023: . --YewGotUp (talk) 00:09, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. Presidential elections in Singapore are now an entrenched aspect of their political system. Given that the Singaporean Government has recently amended the Constitution's provisions on presidential nominations, it seems extremely likely that the election will take place as scheduled, thus meeting the basic requirements of WP:CRYSTAL.
