An unsourced articled for an event that has not yet occurred. Non-notable topic. FiachraByrne (talk) 11:17, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Week Keep This stub on an inevitably notable topic (a national election) is a good starter. North8000 (talk) 11:42, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to Next Bangladeshi general election, as per Next United Kingdom general election. Having 2014 fails WP:CRYSTAL, and can be renamed to 2014 if/when it is announced. Lugnuts (talk) 17:44, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's going to happen, unless the world ends at 2012. Preparations have already begun, with regards to gerrymandering and putting important people in places. Sounds pretty notable to me. Dunno whether renaming serves any purpose, but the article should stay one way or another. (By the way, I opened the article, and hence you might question my POV) - Ratibgreat (talk) 06:19, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I guess my main question is - will it 100% take place in 2014? Could they call it early and have it this year or next? I have no doubt it is notable and an election will take place at somepoint, but can it be for certain (as of today) that 2014 will be the year it happens?

I was also wondering that - can the Parliament can be dissolved early in Bangladesh (forcing earlier elections) and/or has the date for the next election been fixed by whatever authority fixes the date for the election? It looks like even if the answer to the first question is "no," the elections could theoretically be held on December 30th or 31st of 2013. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 22:36, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no, it hasn't been fixed at 2014. For all that we know, it must be held within the date mentioned in the article. The idea is, after the dissolution of the parliament (which in theory may happen tomorrow) some interim government will take control of the nation to allow the Election Commission to orchestrate a free and fair election without any party having the upper hand. Hence, it logically follows that if the parliament expires at its longest, elections will be in 2014.

But no, this is not anything concrete. Ratibgreat (talk) 19:40, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, I think the article should be Renamed to Next Bangladeshi general election. This sounds like Bangladesh is on a similar track to the United Kingdom (a parliament which could be dissolved at any time up to the end of 2013, prompting an election) and should therefore be named in the same manner. As Lugnuts pointed out, WP:CRYSTAL prevents us from assuming that the parliament will "expire[] at its longest." --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 21:21, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No Gaurantee that the election will take place as the parliament could be dissolved any moment, no point in having a 1 line article on something may not even happen. CapMan07008 (talk) 11:47, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
