List of Canadian federal general elections

 * Notified: WikiProject Elections and Referendums

I am nominating this for featured list removal because of a complete lack of citations. Recently we demoted all the individual provinces featured list as they all had the same issue, being nominated in 2006. On those pages I informed WikiProject Elections and Referendums but no one had the time or interest to update the citations. It is also written in a style no longer used. For example "This article provides a summary of...", "For federal by-elections... see List of federal by-elections in Canada. For the eight general elections of the Province of Canada held in 1843 to 1864 before confederation in 1867, see List of elections in the Province of Canada." All found in the lead which seems to end by 1993. Mattximus (talk) 01:23, 20 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Delist Unfortunately, this like the other Canadian election lists needs a serious overhaul. The lead needs additional references as well as a rewrite to confirm with current standards of prose. There should also be information on more recent elections. The tables also need to be updated so that there is in line citations of election results to show that they are all referenced which is not the case presently.

 * Delist Table needs a major reformat to meet accessibility standards; color shouldn't be used as a primary indicator in tables; the table really should be sortable; violations of MOS:BOLDTITLE in table; notes need references. Seattle (talk) 18:43, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
