1. Clear similarity between articles: layout is consistent across the lists. (NWT and Nunavut lists are different due to not having poltical parties). They are all members of Category:Canadian election timelines
2. There are fifteen articles
3. All articles are linked via Template:Canelections
4. The articles cover federal elections, plus all the provinces and territories of Canada.
5. Of the fifteen articles:
   • Eleven Twelve Fourteen are Featured Lists
   • The Nunavut article is A-Class, and won't become a FL as it only has two items).

• The structure of the articles is similar, having the same section titles and order as much as is possible

• Support. I would like to see some more overall sources, but overall it looks pretty good. Hurricanehink (talk) 17:39, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

  Most of the sources are from the library of parliament, which is a source straight from the horse's mouth. --Arctic Gnome 17:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

  Either that, or from the Elction authority for the province/territory in question. Quantity isn't everything :-) Tompw (talk) 18:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• Support Solid topic, with solid articles. Jay32183 18:13, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment should the name of the Nova Scotia article be changed to be consistent with the NB and PEI ones? - Jord 18:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

  Good point. Tompw (talk) 18:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

  Done. --Arctic Gnome 21:05, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Support - This is a group of excellent articles, all of which share the same format, and all of which are well-linked together. This is a textbook example of a featured topic of lists. --Arctic Gnome 21:10, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
• Support Well done. CheekyMonkey 13:29, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
• Support - Jord 14:30, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
• Support. Would go excellent as a featured topic. Just wondering, why aren't the pre-Confederation lists included? Michaelas10 (Talk) 17:55, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Pre-Confederation material doesn't really count as Canadian, in the sense of not being part of the country of Canada. Tompw (talk) 19:48, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
    • I would support the pre-Confederation lists if someone wanted to add them in a supplementary nomination; but as per Tompw, their absence from this topic is not a gap. --Arctic Gnome 20:25, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• Support Per above.--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:56, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
• With so much support, perhaps we can prematurely promote this one? — Deckiller 21:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  • It's only two more days... what's the rush? Tompw (talk) 13:07, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
• Nomination was promoted on 17:00, 30 January 2007 - rst20xx (talk) 13:31, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
