Election or Convention[edit]

I thought only delegates to the convention could vote on the leader. GoodDay (talk) 21:11, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They do why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.116.120.203 (talk) 01:41, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The name should be changed back to election, but seeing the name had already be called that, and redirects to "contest", I'm unsure how to change it back so that it's the official name.Jordo72 (talk) 16:54, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A page should not be moved until the move discussion has ended. 117Avenue (talk) 21:21, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There has been enough discussion about it in the BC page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jordo72 (talk • contribs) 21:44, 11 December 2010 (UTC) [reply]

To answer your question, the {{db-move}} template will delete the page in the way. 117Avenue (talk) 23:43, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've never understood why all these Leadership Conventions were RM'd or created as Leadership elections. GoodDay (talk) 16:39, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, now I know why. Just read the December discussion at the BC Liberal related article. GoodDay (talk) 16:54, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the articles aren't on the conventions, but the all encompassing election. 117Avenue (talk) 20:31, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Election? The votes are by delegates, not the entire provincial population (above age 18). GoodDay (talk) 04:21, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to have this argument again, but that is not the definition of an election. 117Avenue (talk) 04:32, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's just a tad frustrating that these conventions (including past conventions) are suddenly re-named on Wikipedia. GoodDay (talk) 04:53, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:British Columbia Liberal Party leadership contest, 2011 which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. 117Avenue (talk) 02:40, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dunderdale endorses Dunderdale[edit]

Do we really need to list Kathy Dunderdale in the list of MHAs who have endorsed Kathy Dunderdale? I mean, it's obvious that she supports her own candidacy. Has her office issued a press release stating that she endorses herself or something? It just seems a little silly to me. Would there be any serious objections to removing her name from the list? Sima Yi (talk) 12:15, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed in other leadership election articles that if the person is a caucus memeber that person is listed. Newfoundlander&Labradorian (talk) 20:14, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No earlier than March 4?[edit]

No earlier than 90 days after the vacancy? Sure that's not no later than 90 days after a vacancy (i.e. March 3 at the latest)? 117Avenue (talk) 06:08, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That should be referenced, if not then it should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Newfoundlander&Labradorian (talk • contribs) 21:22, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
