English general election, November–December 1701 → English general election, November 1701 – Per SMcCandlish: "per WP:CONCISE and because WP:PRECISE and WP:RECOGNIZABLE and WP:NATURAL are all satisfied by the shorter name; it will also be more WP:CONSISTENT with other such articles, though we made need to do additional work on that (it's likely that a few others are unnecessarily giving over-precise ranges when a simpler identifier will do). Remember that our article titles are not definitions, they're just labels detailed enough that the average editor will understand whether they've found the right page."

Comment The discussion and result at Talk:United_Kingdom_general_election,_January_1910#Requested_move_2_March_2018 largely centered upon (1) reliable sources favouring a reference only to January 1910 and (2) only a few contests actually occurring in February 1910. Compare: Talk:United Kingdom general election, 1832–33#Requested move 27 February 2018 where a similar move request was endorsed. Shadow007 (talk) 01:51, 12 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
The two interwiki links (French and Korean) list this as the December 1701 election. Of the two months, why did you pick November? Dekimasuよ! 08:39, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Because (a) the election started in November and (b) consistency with United Kingdom general election, January 1910.--Neve~selbert 16:57, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
