[edit] Philippine general election, 2016

Philippine general election, 2016 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested PROD. This is way too soon to create even a stub on this topic. Delete without prejudice against recreation around 2014. Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 01:40, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Defense against Deletion Regarding you tag on Philippine general election, 2016. You know what...In the Southeast Asian Games articles there is one which is scheduled to commence for 2015 - 2015 Southeast Asian Games - so it is safe to assume that 8 years is not that far in the future for you to put a deletion tag on the said article. Since there is another article which is not subjected to deletion but has the same grievance to the article, it is unfair to delete mine if the other articles survive. Thanks... --vivafilipinas talk 05:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • motion to revoke well I'll give in. Let me file my motion to revoke my last argument/position about the discussion. I'm now in favor of deleting the so-called premature article. Thank You!

  • Your argument basically boils down to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:01, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Yes, and we already have an article about the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. But this is a completely different matter. Preparations are taking place now. When it comes to elections, we have no idea what the issues are going to be that far down the road (except for the usual stuff), let alone who the candidates will be. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 02:05, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, too premature. Also, what if the Philippine Constitution got changed in the next eight years and the rules for holding elections got changed? Then this article won't be valid anymore. Not unlike the Olympics where there already is a definite date and time (and, more importantly, where some people are already working to make this happen). Something like the next scheduled elections (in 2010) is a bit safer...unless, of course, Gloria Arroyo or her cohorts change the constitution and does something different =P --- Tito Pao (talk) 03:12, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. In this case, WP:CRYSTAL is persuasive - it is too soon. I would recommend a notation under the nation's main article that elections are held on such-and-such a schedule, and - by that schedule - elections will be held in 2012, 2016, and so on. That's about the extent of it, as there is no reliable information about this election as an election - just confirming its existance does not provide enough reliable information to create an article.

  • Delete due to the rather um... unpredictability of Philippine politics, I think we are still not sure if an election will happen 2016. I think we should limit the election articles up to 2010 for now since it is usually talked about here these days. I also agree with the nom, preparations for the 2016 hasn't started yet.--Lenticel (talk) 03:58, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, nothing here yet. Punkmorten (talk) 11:46, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. As per WP:CRYSTAL. Starczamora (talk) 16:36, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. A textbook example of WP:CRYSTAL. By the way, anyone notice the article actually is about the election in 2013, not 2016? 23skidoo (talk) 18:05, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. I agree it's just too soon for this article. Considering that the article is written for 2013 elections, not 2016 as the title says, 2012 or later would be a more suitable time to re-create this article. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 19:20, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
