Practically a duplicate of the main election article. A general regional election article isn't needed as each state in South India has an article about the general election taking place in the respective state. Regional articles for India would only create more for the sake of more and would be more stats articles and wouldn't provide meaningful context. Articles about the election in each state and territory for the country is enough outside the main election article.
And the creator who contest the speedy deletion tag, states article like UK elections in England is a precenident type article. However, England is not a region in the UK. It is one of the countries part of the UK thus an article for each UK member country makes sense. Regions in England like Midlands, London, etc don't need articles for each general election result as that would be overkill. Articles like these would be overkill as well.

- Delete There are already articles for each state in Category:2024 Indian general election by state or union territory, not sure why this is needed. Reywas92Talk 00:37, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Unnecessary fork of main article given we have 'by state' articles. Number 57 21:32, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose This article can kept as 2024 Indian general election may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. As this splits data for South India, which would make ease of navigation. As the election proceed there would be increase in length of 2024 Indian general election.

- Too long is generally considered about 8k words of readable prose. These 2 combined is barely half that. Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 12:35, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. No need for this page when a page for 2024 elections by different states is on wikipedia Category:2024 Indian general election by state or union territory. This is simply an overkill. RangersRus (talk) 15:03, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
