Great job with this page. I have two requests. Can you add a section of per constituency polls (ordered by date). It will be helpful esp. given the general lack of polls. Also, can you add the last poll pre 2013 elections by each major polling agency or let us say all polls post Fall 2012. It gives a general comparison point for the post elections polls. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:4580:E0D0:DD56:2DD8:37E0:D8CE (talk) 18:58, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (G)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (G) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Masterpha, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Ok. Can someone please copy this over for me: The reporter claims that I created User: Hussain.r97 as a sockpuppet to continue my edits as me and him both supported the inclusion of the FB poll inside the article, and implies that the user was created for the specific purpose of countering my block. Firstly, the user had his first edit here, at 21:22 GMT on 27 February 2018, and his most recent edit was here at 21:45 GMT on 27 February 2018. Now, my block commenced on 01:31 GMT on 28 February 2018, so there is no evidence that this account was created by me, nor is there any evidence that the account was used to counter my block. As well as this, User: Hussain.r97 had an edit worth 354 bytes at 21:41 on 27 February 2018 here. On 21:42 on 27 February 2018, I made a substantially larger edit worth 4,595 bytes here. This indicates that we were both editing at around the same time. If we were both editing at the same time, how can we be the same person? It is impossible, and therefore I come to the conclusion that User: Hussain.r97 is not an account that I made, nor is it a sockpuppet that I created in order to counter my block.

Candidate removal

I do not understand why are you removing candidates from NA-2 (Swat-I), I tend to add as many as possible and you are removing them. All known results need to be in there. I do not care about you replacing one table with another as long as information is not removed and is preserved. This will be a lot of work for me to fix later. Do you mind discussing it before changing a whole lot of pages? Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 22:45, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SheriffIsInTown: of course. I understand your concerns and understood that many users may not approve. What I am trying to do is remove minor party candidates which are unnecessary and only get a small amount of votes/percentage of votes and place them in an ‘others’ section. Currently I am only limiting the infobox to the top 3 performing candidates, but I understand why this could be a cause of concern. Whilst I understand you may want to add all of the candidates, the simple fact is that the majority of candidates in Pakistani elections are minor and irrelevant. Having their performance in the infobox is useless and overcomplicates the information. I do believe that necessary candidates should be included, although most candidates are genuinely irrelevant. The method I am carrying out is tedious, so I would be willing to come to some kind of an agreement where relevant candidates (those which got a sufficient quota of votes/percentage) are included and those who did not gain sufficient votes/percentage of votes are included in an ‘others’ section. Masterpha (talk) 02:32, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, it's not an infobox, secondly we at Wikipedia are supposed to represent facts truly so it does not make sense replacing any known results with Others, for example here you have over 50,000 votes counted as Others, this is double than the individual who won and this is misinformation at its best that we put all those votes in Others section which is akin to Unknown while we knew the people who got those votes. I am not in favor of this exercise. We know a candidate who got those votes and the votes go next to the candidate's name. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 08:16, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@SheriffIsInTown: look, I really don’t think you read what I just posted. I understand your concern with my changes and I would be willing to change it to a system where all of the candidates gaining a sufficient quota of votes/percentage of votes would be placed in the election box. For example, candidates achieving less than 2.5% of the vote can be included. I fully understand that it was a faulty method which is why I stopped the edits when I got to the 2013 section of the NA-2 swat page. Masterpha (talk) 08:22, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@SheriffIsInTown: what method do you suggest? Because frankly the large lists of candidates are not viable, neither is my method of only showing the top 3 Masterpha (talk) 08:52, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am for keeping all available information intact. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 08:55, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay SheriffIsInTown, this is a good idea but to do this we need to actually have a consistent election box policy. For example, here the candidates are shown with party colour and the turnout at the bottom. Here the candidates are shown with flags and the bottom has the majority and turnout figures. Here the party colours are shown with majority and turnout. The one I was doing had the candidates with their colours on the side, and at the bottom the figures for valid votes, rejected votes, turnout and majority were present. We need to have a consistent policy for election boxes if we are to put all the candidates in. What do you prefer? Personally I am against the flags being shown but apart from that I would be flexible. Once this policy is agreed upon by us and perhaps other users, then we can get to adding all of the candidates to each election box. Best, Masterpha (talk) 09:18, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your election box, it looks good as long as we have all the figures available, I am adding a simple box to keep things simple for new Election 2018 results as all figures might not be available for some time after the results, once we have turnout, majority and other figures available then we can add those fields. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 09:30, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Great. I'll get to work adding candidates back to NA-1 and NA-2 pages at once. Masterpha (talk) 09:33, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was rethinking about using colors vs. flags in election boxes and wanted to run my ideas by you. I am now thinking that flags are better as they are more and true representative of Pakistani political parties. Almost, every party in Pakistan have their own flag and those parties chose those flags to represent themselves. On the other hand colors are an invention of us Wikipedians and I think the root of it comes from following examples of other countries but the thing is political parties of such other countries identify themselves with a color, for example Democratic Party in the United States identify with blue, Republican Party with red and Green Party with green but that is not the case in Pakistan. Then why should we use random colors to identify a party. For example, why should we use red to identify PTI, they have green in their flag as well, same way why we should choose black to identify PPP, they have three colors in their flag. On the other hand, the problem with using flags is a lot of manual work as it stands now, we will have to create flag templates for these parties. I might have done so in the past a long time ago but lost the skill and do not even know if we can create flag templates for political parties or is that just reserved for countries and territories. I will like to hear your input on this. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 03:40, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SheriffIsInTown: The problem with this is that, as this user has pointed out for me, the flags are supposedly not meant to be used for the election boxes due to copyright. I tried adding the flags to the opinion polling page I created but they were removed. What I was thinking was that we could actually add the party symbols (such as lion for pmln, bat for pti sword/arrow for ppp, book for mma) seeing as these symbols are actually on the ballot paper. Hopefully these are freely licensed and would not cause any controversy with other users. Of course, this is all dependent on whether we can create a symbol/flag template for the election boxes. Masterpha (talk) 06:30, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Symbol idea came to me but as a separate column at the end keeping the colors where they are. What do you think? Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 07:54, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@SheriffIsInTown: Great idea, if we are ok with keeping the colours intact Masterpha (talk) 15:06, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@SheriffIsInTown: I was thinking of something like this:
{{{title}}}
Party Candidate Symbol Votes % ±
Thoughts? Masterpha (talk) 06:21, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, looks good but not sure if we can maintain it. How are we going to find symbols for previous elections especially when it comes to independent candidates? Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 08:50, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@SheriffIsInTown: ECP has released a list of symbols allotted to parties. As for independents, I will try and find forms for the symbols of the independent candidates but if this is not possible we could always increase the colspan of the Candidate section so that it spans across both the symbol and candidate fields... for example if we don’t know the symbol for Shekh Azher Rizvi for the NA-120 by election last september, something like:
By-election 2017: NA-120 (Lahore-III)
Party Candidate Symbol Votes % ±
PML(N) Kulsoom Nawaz 61,745 49.35 -11.19
PTI Yasmin Rashid File:BAT - Election Symbol.png 47,099 37.12 +3.08
Independent Shekh Azher Rizvi 7,130 5.70 +5.70
Masterpha (talk) 19:23, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The full version will have colours as well, just had some problems with adding them... Masterpha (talk) 19:28, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Looks great, I am fine both ways, either using a colspan or leaving the field blank (preferred) for those we cannot find the symbol. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 20:52, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The constitution says that you need 172 votes to be elected. If this isn’t done then another vote will be held where you only need a majority of those present. Currently PTI claims to have 175-180 MNAs in support so it is quite likely that Imran Khan will be elected on the first ballot.

Pakistan elections of 1985, 1988, 1990, 1993, and 1996

Hi Masterpha. I was really amazed by your little summary about you, and I pretty much agree with what you said, and I have to say, your articles have really engaged me. If possible, please if you can in some way, place a visual map and a visual of the number to National Assembly seats won in the Pakistani elections of 1985, 1988, 1990, 1993, and 1996, because when I see the Indian elections from all of the years, they have a visual map and a visual of the National Assembly seats their parties won. So it would be nice if this could be provided in previous Pakistani elections as well. Thanks! Wbhai89 (talk) 03:34, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Wbhai89: Thanks for the suggestion. I think this is a great idea and should be implemented, however first I would need the data for the delimitation of constituencies in those elections and results of each constituency. This is possible, but I may need some outside help. Also, I believe the 1985 elections were non-party based so I struggle to see how we can make a map for that. Thanks! маsтегрнатаLк 08:34, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for considering this, because it really would be great it Pakistan, like India, had all of its elections results maps and the visual on the amount of seats won in the National Assembly. Also, if possible, please let me know what outside sources are supposed to be consulted, so I could also try to do something about putting up the election map results and so forth. Wbhai89 (talk) 10:25, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Wbhai89: I’d need the delimitation maps of the previous constituencies to do that. Alternatively, if we are talking about indian election pages, all of the elections before 1971 do not have maps constituency wise but show the amount of seats won by each party in each province in a box on the province.

Swing calculation

Can you guide me how did you calculate swing on NA-28 (Peshawar-II)? Also how do you calculate the change for majority if winning party is different from previous election? Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 15:16, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The swing is measured in relation to the top two parties of the last election and the winning party of the current election. For example, the 2 largest parties in the 2017 NA-4 (now NA-28) by-election were PTI and ANP. Because PTI won the seat, the swing would be measured from ANP to PTI. To measure the swing we need to find the difference between the vote change and divide it by 2. The difference between +16.36 and -3.74 is 20.10: so dividing this figure by two gives us the figure of 10.05. If the winning party is different you would do it the same way. For example with NA-95 you would measure the swing from PMLN to PTI, because they were the top two parties in the 2013 by election and since pti won the 2018 election the swing should be measured towards them. I know this might sound confusing, do you want an example of some sort? маsтегрнатаLк 15:35, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Can you check my swing calculation for NA-53 by-election? I am not sure if that should be increase or decrease there? Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 18:11, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@SheriffIsInTown: yes, that looks fine. If you’re unsure in the future, a good way to look at it is to see which party is gaining more ground. In this example PMLN had a larger increase than PTI so it would be a negative swing for PTI. маsтегрнатаLк 19:42, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Percentage calculation

Are we supposed to calculate percentage by valid votes or by total turnout? I have been doing it by turnout but I see By-election 2018 on NA-161 (Lodhran-II) has it by valid votes? Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 10:11, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SheriffIsInTown: I think the chart which the ECP uses for the results is calculated by valid votes...

@SheriffIsInTown: ECP measures it by valid votes as per this source. As for other countries such as the US and the UK, I believe they don’t use rejected votes as part of the total figure to calculate percentages from. This US page shows that they use total valid votes (displayed as total votes) for percentages and if you look at this UK page it calculates percentages via total valid votes, but they use the term “turnout” instead of total valid votes. маsтегрнатаLк 14:45, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Next Pakistani general election article

Hello I just saw you just created Next Pakistani general election, what does the article title enclose by saying Next? Next is a complex word to be used on an event title - when 2023 comes and passes, the article will still remain Next Pakistani general election. I suggest you change the title to name to clarify that but I need to know your reason behind that title name. If you wish to change its name and may need help for that, do ping me here User:SkillsM674, reply here or leave a message on my talk SkillsM674 (talk) 22:04, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SkillsM674: the term next is used because it is not certain that the election will be held in 2023. The fact is that the ruling coalition currently has a slim majority, so the Assemblies could easily be prematurely dissolved if a few coalition parties withdraw support or if the PM decides to call early elections to try and gain a simple majority. 5 years is a long time, but if 2023 comes and there has not been a premature election, the title will be changed to Pakistani general election, 2023. Hope you understand. Regards, masterpha маsтегрнатаLк 22:10, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, many articles in other countries also use the term next when they specify next elections, take for example Next German federal election, Next Spanish general election, Next United Kingdom general election, Next Irish general election etc... There is a consensus to leave the year ambiguous unless it is confirmed. маsтегрнатаLк 22:12, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SheriffIsInTown: if you think about it, PTI does have a slim majority... With around 7 parties which support it, there’s huge potential for the government to collapse seeing as if a couple withdraw support, the national assembly would have to be dissolved and new elections would be called. Even if that doesn’t happen, there could also be a chance that the PM decides to call for snap elections before 2023 to actually gain a simple majority... all I’m saying is that there’s huge potential for the government to collapse at any given time... маsтегрнатаLк 00:50, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Provincial results

Hello. I noticed the results you added at 2008 Pakistani general election#Punjab are different to those at 2008 Punjab provincial election (specifically the number of seats). Cheers, Number 57 16:55, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, just to note, independents always go at the bottom of these tables, below 'other parties'. Cheers, Number 57 16:55, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Number 57: Hi, thanks for informing me about the position of independents in these tables. I've just looked at the two pages and the vote totals are the same, although you're correct in pointing out the difference in seats. These totals seem to be disputing the count of PML-N and PML-Q elected MPAs. Specifically, the main page gives PML-N 7 extra MPAs. This could be possibly due to confusion around the similar names of the parties (PML-Q is officially registered as Pakistan Muslim League), but if I'm honest I don't know exactly why they differ. I believe that my source (electionpakistan, supported by FAFEN) is more reliable than the UrduPoint source from the main page. If I'm honest, I don't see the need for separate pages for federal and provincial elections so long as the provincial results are sufficiently covered in the main general election page (even though I did begin the tradition of creating separate pages for provincial elections in Pakistan, sorry!). It makes a lot more sense to have a single page containing both federal and provincial results, especially considering that these elections are held on the same days and that the assemblies dissolve at the same time. маsтегрнатаLк 21:45, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

The article Caretaker Prime Minister of Pakistan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The powers of the caretaker prime minister are not different from the 'regular prime minister' except in a few areas which warrant a completely separate page, When the caretaker prime minister succeeds Shehbaz Sharif, whose photo and name will be published on Prime Minister of Pakistan? A subsection was sufficient on the Prime Minister of Pakistan is sufficient in my opinion

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
