Notified: Wikipedia:WikiProject Elections and Referendums

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it appears to lack all citations. Being nominated so long ago, I don't think it ever had citations. The citation warning has been on the page for 5 years, and about a month ago I posted to the talk page and Wikipedia:WikiProject Elections and Referendums but nobody has come forward. This nomination may set a precedent, as there are 10 or so more featured lists in this series that all fail to meet citation guidelines and probably should be delisted. I also think that given it is a series (for each province) they should be standardized before considered for featured list status again. Mattximus (talk) 16:48, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delist, no references at all for anything later than 2006, multiple prose and MOS problems (e.g. the opening sentence "This article provides a summary of results for the general elections to the Canadian province of New Brunswick's unicameral legislative body, the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick" has random bold links as well as being an awful start to an FL by current standards; the tables should run in chronological not reverse chronological order). Way below the standards of our best work.

  • Have a look at the opening paragraph of this featured list List of Manitoba general elections. Can I nominate more than one article for delisting? Mattximus (talk) 22:30, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist per Bencherlite. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:32, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to list sister articles for removal? All have the exact same problems, most notably, have had zero or almost zero citations for over 5 years. List of Manitoba general elections, List of British Columbia general elections (zero in-line citations), List of Newfoundland and Labrador general elections (zero in-line citations), List of post-confederation Nova Scotia general elections (no references), List of Ontario general elections (no references, very very short lead), List of Quebec general elections (no in-line citations), List of Saskatchewan general elections (no in-line citations). There are two more, even though they are not up to featured status, at least there are references and so would be up for debate. Those listed here are without question candidates for removal.

• Delist as per Bencherlite. No citations for any content past 2006. Lead needs to be rewritten. Cowlibob (talk) 18:16, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm closing this FLRC as delist. Consensus is quite clear here. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:19, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
