Third Vote

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This is not a notable concept. The sourcing in the article appears to be diverse from a first glance, but upon a closer examination it's clear that the only sources tied to one person actually talk about 'Third Vote'. The rest of the sources are inserted into the article in a WP:SYNTH fashion. For example, the first citation in the article suggests that the journal 'Electoral Studies' covers the topic of the article, but it does not mention 'Third Vote' anywhere. This article appears to have been created by a WP:COI account who is refspamming one person's (Andranik Tangian) work across Wikipedia. Thenightaway (talk) 19:25, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:SOAP and WP:SIGCOV. Advocacy is the opposite of an encyclopedia. Some articles, but they are primary for the most part. Bearian (talk) 15:24, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
