 Naming convention 

I would like to resurrect my previous idea to change the current naming convention for elections. The current convention is:

Use the format ""Demonym type election, date"", for example ""Canadian federal election, 1867""...  (WP:NAME#Elections}

I propose this is changed to allow two alternatives, as follows:

Use either this form: political division type election, date, or this form: political division election of date. For example, Canadian federal election, 1867 or Canadian federal election of 1867.  Where an article has been created using one form, do not move the article to the other form.

This new option would make linking more natural and make the article names more encyclopedic.

Please comment on this proposal at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions#New elections proposal
