Cant this article just be merged into the PM's own article under the section about his accession to the PM-ship? they're both small articles, and this has only about 4-5 links and no sections.Lihaas (talk) 11:57, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

no Disagree We have different subjects.
(a) Electing a political party's leader is an inside-the-party issue.
(b) Designating Prime Minister is a national issue.
(c) How a person has become PM is a part of his/her personal history.
(By the way, Naoto Kan has not yet become PM, as of 5 June.)
Focusing on (c), we may write about him/her without mentioning another candidate. However, in an article on (a) or (b), I think existence of another candidate, in principle, can not be ignored. --Dumpty-Humpty (talk) 16:11, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Leadership elections - however short the relevant article - have traditionally been assigned to a separate article from that of the winner. I do not believe there's a case to deviate from tradition in this instance. HonouraryMix (talk) 16:21, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per the above. —Nightstallion 12:18, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose this is actually pretty good for a leadership election article, there are some British leadership articles with only a couple of sentences.--[[User: Duffy2032|Duffy2032]] (talk) 09:56, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If consensus is still against the merge proposal come the 13th - the proposal would then have had a week to be debated - I'll close this discussion and remove the merge suggestion tags. Any objections? HonouraryMix (talk) 19:27, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Debate has died one week in with clear consensus against merge proposal. Discussion archived, and merge tags removed. HonouraryMix (talk) 10:43, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguate?

[edit]

The regular DPJ presidential election will be held in September 2010. Of course, it is yet unclear whether there will be any vote at all: if Kan is doing well, the "election" will be a mere formality – following tradition and a much more established tradition; if he is not there might be another real election between two or more candidates. In any case, the event will formally be another minshutō daihyō senkyo in 2010. So, could somone create some kind of disambiguation or include a reference to the other "Democratic Party (Japan) leadership election, 2010" in this article?

Hatnote

[edit]

I swear it's true: 2010 Democratic Party (Japan) leadership election really does redirect to June 2010 Democratic Party (Japan, 1998) leadership election. There is also a non-existent 'red link' to September 2010 Democratic Party (Japan) leadership election at Democratic Party of Japan, but as of January 2021 there is no article about that leadership election. If such an article is created, the redirect page should be re-written as a disambiguation page. Cnilep (talk) 05:58, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
