This is a parliamentary election, so parliamentary leaders should be taken into account
Similar to other parliamentary or legislative election articles of countries with a presidential system, the parliamentary leaders for the parties needs to be taken into account for the infobox. That means
Binali Yıldırım as
parliamentary group leader of the AKP since 24 May 2017, as opposed to Erdoğan. See
French legislative election, 2017 as an example.

Nub Cake: nop, for France, Olivier Faure was socialist parlementary group leader but he was not the head file for the election. The file leader was Bernard Cazeneuve. Also, I am against your change. --

Binali Yildirim is not the leader of AKP anymore, so Erdogan's picture must be there not Yildirim.

But for example in the US case, they have separate election articles for presidential and legislative elections even if they are held on the same day, along with a 'United States elections, 20xx' article that summarises all of them. I would prefer this method because it'll provide more clarity overall.

Strongly supportbut articles about others parlementary elections should be renamed from general election to parlementary election. In Turkey, the election will be held in the same day. --

In parliamentary republics, parliamentary elections are more often than not referred to as general elections – see, for example, Burma or India. Turkey was a parliamentary republic at the time those elections were held, so I think they were titled correctly.

@
Number 57: I am convinced by your argument, which is also the one used by NubCake to rename this article from "general" to "parliamentary". However, in view of our practices, I also think that a merger is necessary and we have a consensus for it now. Afterwards, we can not compare the general elections of the presidential republics (Kenya, Turkey) with the American presidential election, which takes place according to a particular system and in two stages (November and January). But it remains a question: which article must be renamed to best credit the authors? --

Oh I still agree with the merge. Seeing as it's had the most work, the presidential article should probably be moved, and any content here merged into it.

Turkish general election, 2019; as far as I'm aware, the year of the election is known. I'm happy to move it, and it seems to have more support than opposition, but I'll wait a couple of days to see if there's any more comments.

We agree. I also thought about waiting a couple of days. --

Support, for reasons stated by others above. Μαρκος Δ 01:03, 2 July 2018 (UTC)reply
Oppose (and note), this discussion is out of date and was overruled by a separate consensus established later on on the
Turkish general election, 2018 talk page. Please discuss it there.
