Singaporean general election, 2016

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Violates Wikipedia:FUTURE guidelines. No references to substantiate that the general election will be called at that time, or even which political parties will be participating.--Lionratz (talk) 02:41, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because it also concerns an election that has not even been announced:

Note: Can you please rename back to Next Singaporean general election and Next Singaporean presidential election. There is no fixed-term elections unlike UK. Timothyhouse1 (talk) 14:42, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It's perfectly reasonable to have an article about the next election, as it's certainly notable and we pretty much know it will happen, even if we don't have an exact date as yet. I believe we have such an article for basically every democracy in the world. Should be moved to Next Singaporean general election or 17th Singaporean general election or something. Other AFDs on similar articles have resulted in no consensus to delete. Grandmartin11 (talk) 17:34, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rename (until a date is known) and Keep as above. I believe we generally keep articles for the immediate next election, regardless of whether we know exactly when it will be. – Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 23:21, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Rename for General Election page because it can happen at any time. There are many examples of next election pages on Wikipedia. If it's the next immediate general election, I think it's perfectly fine.
- Keep for Presidential Election page because there are very specific rules on when and how the Presidential Election is conducted, under Singaporean law. By that definition, it has to happen in 2017. Kiteinthewind ^{Leave a message!} 19:51, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rename or Redirect - WP:CRYSTAL/WP:FUTURE, this article is going to be plundered by what if arguments. Eduemoni ^↑talk↓ 21:55, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Remove: Because this page is blank talk as it is hypothetical and we will never know whether the next general election is in 2016. Talking about an election that does not even exist will cause confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.156.106.5 (talk) 15:13, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
