Accuracy and inconsistency concerns[edit]

Hi Impru20, your work with tables and elections is appreciated. However, what I see here is a matter of concern, since it can mislead readers not familiar with the topic to believe that they are candidates of a so-called Socialist Party of Navarre. The number of seats is five and the seats earned varies from 1 to 3. However, none of the names in the candidate column belongs to those seats or is a member of the PSN. Not very consistent or accurate. Just a clarifying adjective added to the 'candidate' tag should do. Iñaki LL (talk) 07:27, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you mean, but if that's the issue, surely the "Leading candidate in Spain" doesn't clarifies either whether the person in question is a member of the PSN or not (it could just be interpreted as that person is the leading candidate "from the PSN" in Spain). In the Congress of Deputies elections this can be solved by just changing the names and adding the actual main candidate for Navarre (the one corresponding to the first seat elected in the province), though the issue would remain for European elections as no candidates are elected in each provinces.

One way or the other, it remains ambiguous now, if not misleading. I understand that changing the leading candidate in Navarre for the Congress every each year since 1980 or so is tricky. The problem may be solved by just adding PSOE or Spanish Socialist Candidate, preferably with a link, should do, not a big problem. Iñaki LL (talk) 11:37, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It would not be tricky, but it surely would be pretty much irrelevant (since usually those guys have no importance when compared to the main prime ministerial candidate). I believe that "PSOE candidate" can be used for both Congress and European elections, with a link to the main PSOE article. Impru20 (talk) 14:05, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
