• Comment is this actually any less encyclopedic than U.S. presidential_election, 2008? I'll abstain from voting for now. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:42, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The next French Presidential elections will be held in 2007. It will be decided in run-off election. There are two verifiable facts. As Sjakalle notes we have an article on a future election in another notable country the US where the President serves a fixed term. It is perfectly reasonable to have articles on the next election in a system where the President has a fixed term and a track record of elections being held at the due date.

• Keep. Valid stub for major forthcoming election, just like United Kingdom general election, 2009/10, Scottish parliamentary election, 2007, 2005 Conservative leadership election, Welsh Assembly Election, 2007, U.S. presidential election, 2008... The last two of these have survived VFD, as did United Kingdom general election, 2005 when it was first created. Can we please stop having the same darned arguments over and over again? sjorford →•← 11:14, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Crystal ball rule has been popularly set aside in many VfD's relating to future political events that are certain to happen, barring an asteroid obliterating the earth. Predicting such an asteroid will hit in 2007, now that would be a crystal ball case. -- BD2412 ^talk 13:41, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)
• Keep as per BD2412. 23skidoo 16:27, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per US 2008 election, UK general election 2005/6 (which I remember voting "keep" for...), UK general election 2009/10, &c. &c. Note that WP:NOT explicitly cites a well-characterisable future election as a suitable topic. Shimgray 17:47, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep as per sjorford. -- Jonel 00:31, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Capitalistroadster et al. It would ill-founded to exclude this while including the US2008 vote, and the US2008 must be here, because it is mentioned in every American newspaper every other day at least once, even now. Notable scheduled elections are an exception to crystal ball policy. Xoloz 04:10, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the next scheduled election article of all elections. --Unfocused 04:25, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
