On 23 July 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved to National list member of Parliament. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Caps[edit]

None of these title words are consistently capitalized when this phrase is used in sources, though Parliament comes closer than the others; so I moved it accordingly. The article already had member of parliament lowercase in places, so it's not obvious what's the best way to get consistent. Dicklyon (talk) 01:28, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 23 July 2022[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Consensus seems to be that the base title should be retargeted or converted to a disambiguation page. No prejudice against speedy renomination if there's a desire to discuss other changes to the title (e.g. the suggestions by BarrelProof and the 64 IP).

- National list member of parliament (with lowercase "parliament")? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 22:58, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Sri Lankan national list MP or Sri Lankan national list member of parliamentwould seem better -- 64.229.88.43 (talk) 05:26, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand this proposal. There are several countries that have national list members of parliament. Why would we want to remove the disambiguation? Number 5 7 11:02, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:MALPLACED is why, unless a disambiguation page can be created in its place. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 18:13, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Srongly oppose there are national lists for others countries.--Panam2014 (talk) 07:12, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is the only article that exists under the title National list member of Parliament. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 17:39, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not a reason. Panam2014 (talk) 20:57, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So what are the national lists for other countries? ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 19:11, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Party-list proportional representation#List of countries using party-list proportional representation has one possible place to find other national lists. Although it's not included there, I think one list is at 2021 Japanese general election#Members of House of Representatives elected from proportional representation block. Another might be Results of the 2020 New Zealand general election#List results. Dekimasuよ! 06:08, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Japanese House of Councillors national proportional representation block would be one such alternative article for a DAB page. Cheers, Number 5 7 10:45, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and redirect National list member of Parliament to Party-list proportional representation#List of countries using party-list proportional representation as a {{R to section}}. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 16:16, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That section does not include the national list members added due to levelling of results in countries like New Zealand, Germany, etc. But I'd think it to be that single best destination, as of now, unless a new list article is created. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 16:25, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
