Too soon? edit

I noticed that every time I submitted this article for approval, I got the notice that the topic is too soon to be added. However, past elections have added their candidate pages roughly 18 months in advance, which is less than the time it takes until the next election. Additionally, reliable media sources are already talking about current candidates, https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/elections-nomination-conservatives-liberals-ndp-bloc-1.7203859 demonstrating that the matter is topical and worthy to be added as a source.

Whoever is responsible to approve this page, please approve it as the page's topicality is well established. CJJ400 (talk) 18:51, 15 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Everything's cited now, so that issue's taken care of. Hopefully it'll be approved soon. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 20:16, 15 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I disagree that's it's "too soon"; an election could be called at any time since we're in a minority government situation. -- Earl Andrew - talk 14:52, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Nearly 300 candidates nominated by their parties so far. I guess we wait until it passes 500 and try again. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 16:02, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
