PPC in infobox

---

My understanding from discussions on other election pages is that parties are listed in election infoboxes if they hold seats going into the election, or if they hold no seats but earned at least 5% of the popular vote in the previous election. The People's Party have never been elected to a seat and earned just under 5% (4.94% according to our article) in 2021. Should they be included?

Several iterations of the discussion can be found in the page archives, linked in the box at the top. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 18:03, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

There is no rule. However, neutrality in Wikipedia requires articles to provide the same coverage to topics as reliable sources do. (WP:BALASPS). All major media have decided to include the PPC, which is why the article for the last election did and was copied over to this one. If major mainstream media decide to drop the PPC from future summaries, we can consider removing it.-- unsigned comment by TFD (talk)

Agreed, we essentially decided to follow the decision at Talk:2021 Canadian federal election. Since then there have been many discussions that can be found in the archives here. There was also a more recent discussion at Talk:2021 Canadian federal election which then was then closed so that an RfC on the elections and referendums project could proceed. We have decided against strict adherence to the WP:5%R, and to include the PPC here (at least before the 45th election takes place). I don't think anything stops us from reconsidering this once we have results of the next election and know how the PPC have preformed in that contest.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 19:46, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Here's a link to the CBC Federal Election results for 2021.[1] It lists six parties plus "Other." All other major mainstream media did the same thing.

This article lists the six parties because that is what reliable sources did. If they change, then this article should also change.

This article should not give more or less prominence to any party than reliable sources do.

I don't see why some editors want to create a unique standard for this article. Not only is it against policy, but it takes up considerable discussion. TFD (talk) 20:35, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, it does. Let's close yet again on this ode to Sisyphus. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 22:26, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Too much on electoral redistribution?

I personally find the tables and map on the redistribution, and the 2021 election results mapped on to the new ridings, quite interesting. But is it a bit too much for this article? The current prose seems fine, but perhaps these tables and/or the map should be folded into 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution (which of course readers are being invited to see as the "main article" on this). Thoughts?--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 18:57, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Agreed, though a simple estimate table (2021/transposed) might be reasonable. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 03:48, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

I think it's fine, I basically just copied what they're doing over at Next United Kingdom general election#Electoral system, and that one is even longer than what we have here, just goes over the redistribution, shows transposed results, then directs to the main page for more depth. In terms of the redistributed results, have a draft Work in Progess right now to just make the actual riding by riding redistributed results its own page, since the redistribution page is long enough as it is without the transposed numbers.

Sources for Opinion Polling

I don't see any being provided (the graphic is just being updated without any further information). Can we improve the way this is being conducted at the moment? Kristwanderer (talk) 13:56, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

The sources are in the related article Opinion polling for the 45th Canadian federal election. The table there was previously part of this article but was moved there to save space. I agree the sourcing should be here too though.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 18:42, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Candidates article

Now that we know which Representation Order the next election will use, it may be time for a candidates article. The PPC and Conservatives have both nominated dozens of candidates already in ridings that will carry over. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 03:36, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Candidates_of_the_45th_Canadian_federal_election can you access this link? I made a draft already of the candidates page CJJ400 (talk) 14:11, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Feel free to update it and edit it as you want, I made it about halfway on the new ridings and riding names, but did not upload candidates yet. (annoyingly, the page was rejected with the reason that "there are no current candidates" when there are currently dozens. CJJ400 (talk) 14:14, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I won't make any guarantees about participation. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 16:10, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
