Red links
[edit]There are a number of red links here which appear to be part of a poorly/incorrectly used template. It needs to be fixed, or perhaps the article should be deleted until the election is actually referenced and notable. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:00, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
Under that reasoning there would never be a future class election article and the whole 2012 local elections template would need deleting. As for the red links that will correct itself when the election takes place.--Lucy-marie (talk) 15:52, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- We shouldn't have articles that contain broken template links and we shouldn't have unreferenced articles and we shouldn't have articles that actually don't say anything of any use. Unless this is fixed, I'll AFD it. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:00, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- I suggest you look at all of the future election articles, all follow the same with the same templates I also suggest looking at articles for elections where candidates are known but the election has not taken places the same results template is used, giving identical results to as on this page. I suggest moving this to the politics project if you wish to take this further as opposed to just critiquing my edits articles i create.--Lucy-marie (talk) 16:04, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- May I also suggest having a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Politics of the United Kingdom where this can be discussed for all the future UK local election articles (I note 8 such articles currently - with not much difference between ayn of them). I'm personally inclined towards The Rambling Man's view that we should not have these articles at this stage and think a discussion could at the wikiproject could reach consensus on when such articles should be created.

- Agreed, there's nothing in this "article" that provides information that isn't in the 2011 article and it's unreferenced, contains broken templates and is frankly a shambles. They should be created when the election has taken place or if something "notable" has occurred prior to the election. I will have a look at the discussion at the Wikiproject that Davewild has mentioned (should one exist) but will be inclined to nominate this, and the other 8 that Dave notes, for deletion sooner rather than later.

- There isn't one currently but If you give me a bit I will be happy to start one. Davewild (talk) 16:15, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
