2021 Liechtenstein general election

  • ... that just 42 votes separated the top two parties in the 7 February 2021 Liechtenstein general election? You can see the official results here: here but also, for example, the title of this news report: "Liechtenstein election: Just 23 ballots separate two biggest parties". Euronews. 8 February 2021. Retrieved 9 February 2021.

5x expanded by Dumelow (talk), Lord Stephenson (talk), Erinthecute (talk), and Number 57 (talk). Nominated by Dumelow (talk) at 08:13, 11 February 2021 (UTC).

  • As the nominator has alluded to, there is an ongoing ITN discussion at Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates#2021 Liechtenstein general election- it looks like the nomination will end with no consensus/stale, but if the article does appear on ITN, then it will ineligible for DYK. For now, the article is eligible for DYK and so I will conduct a review:
  • checkY Article is long enough (3990 characters), has been 5x expanded according to DYK check tool, nominated in time (expansion started 9 February, nominated 11 February), and article is within policy
  • Question? Dumelow in [1] it says that the VU got 72,361 votes and the FBP got 72,319- this is a difference of 42 votes, not 23 as the article and hook say. Am I missing something? Or has the source been updated since you nominated this (possibly due to recounts)?
  • checkY QPQ done
  • Overall, the article looks good, just the query on the numbers to be resolved. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:44, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for the review Joseph2302. Yes, it looks like the official results have been amended slightly and the gap is now 42 votes. I've amended the article and the hook above to reflect this - Dumelow (talk) 19:20, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
Withdrawn, since it has now been posted on ITN - Dumelow (talk) 20:01, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
Agree, now that's it's been posted on ITN, it is no longer eligible for DYK. Please can someone close this nomination? Joseph2302 (talk) 16:16, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
