While statute dictates the next state election must be before the end of 5 years, the date of this election is not set, and many variables could change the next election date. This leans toward WP:CRYSTAL. No objection to draftifying. Risker (talk) 00:40, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Just draft it if it doesn't meet the standards to be a article yet. Don't delete. Spaastm (talk) 18:49, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

• Speedy keep: It's now standard practice to create articles for the next election as soon as the current election is over, even if the date is variable/not known e.g. Next United Kingdom general election, Next Spanish general election. If there are specific issues with the article, editors should try to fix the issue or place an appropriate maintenance tag so that other editors are aware, rather than pressing the nuclear button to delete the article.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting, it seems to be a split between Keeping this article or Draftifying it. I will note that we do have other articles on the project for "next elections".
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:12, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

• Keep We have information specific to this election (i.e. opinion polling data). WP:CRYSTAL specifically allows for future scheduled events that will almost certainly happen (a category that elections in a democratic country fall into). Number 57 01:14, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
• Keep per Number57. These kinds of election articles are routine and always contain verifiable encyclopedic information. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 04:23, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
