Next Danish parliamentary election[edit]

I recreated the page because it used to be the title of the Danish parliamentary election, 2007 article before the election was called and nobody thus knew when it would take place. After the election for 2007 was called, I then moved it to have the title of the 2007 article. Now the 2007 election is over, I thought it was standard on Wikipedia to have the "next election" article. As has been brought up on the article's talk page, however, this seems not to be the case, and this article will definitely not have any substance until the election is being called, or at least until heavy speculations arise that it is about to be called. This could be as much as four years from now, so until then, I recommend deleting this article, and then we recreate it once it is likely to contain anything interesting (opinion polls for an election four years out in the horizon are hardly encyclopedic).

Delete Articles like this should be named so as to be relevent forever i.e. instead of names like Next Danish parliamentary election which expire once the election takes place, use a title that includes the dates that it should take place. If the dates are not known as is the case here, the article is probably WP:CRYSTAL. In other words: don't create it under any name. Handschuh-^{talk to me} 14:21, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I disagree with your reasoning -- "next ... election" *IS* a valid title, for instance if the election will be held in either late 2007 or early 2008, or if there is encyclopedic material available for an election with a variable date (as there is for the next United Kingdom general election or the next Palestinian general election). Regardless, in this specific case I've got no strong opinion -- might as well delete it. —Nightstallion 00:16, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

After thinking on it for a while, I'd say we should keep it. The election will happen, and there is notable material which we can put into that article. —Nightstallion 16:58, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It is a notable planned event which will with high certainty take place. There is some bits of information which can be added to the article as they become available, starting with the last possible date. The only thing missing is the exact final title, which I don't see as a problem. Thue | talk 21:38, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
