Adding seat projections/district-level polls

Recently, an IP user has been adding polls that have been conducted at the district or division level, while also using Twitter as the source for these polls. They have also added seat projections done by the same firm to the voting intentions table.

In my opinion, these don't seem like constructive edits as they needlessly clutter the page and are not from reliable sources. I’ve tried to explain this to the IP user but to no avail.

What are people's thoughts on this?

Note: They have also made similar edits to the 2024 Punjab provincial election article. Muzzzmuzzmuzzz (talk) 06:23, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think seat projection should be added in a separate table like Next Indian general election#Opinion polls page. Saad Ali Khan Pakistan (talk) 06:47, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like a good compromise. What’s your view about the district-level surveys being added? Muzzzmuzzmuzzz (talk) 08:22, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Panam2014 (talk) 22:18, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, district level surveys dont matter See 2022 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election#Opinion polls. If you want to add District level surveys than they should be added in separate seat projection table and than their sum should be added below.

I agree with you that district-level surveys do not matter. I also don’t think they should be in the article at all. Muzzzmuzzmuzzz (talk) 13:13, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gallup Pakistan Survey

Why hasn’t the Gallup Pakistan survey been added here? Not favorable enough for PTI? 2603:7000:8F00:1D2A:D1CA:5BE8:348B:DBF2 (talk) 19:01, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I observed that the survey didn't include national voting intentions; it's specific to provinces and could potentially be included in relevant provincial sections. I will see what other editors opine about it. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 19:18, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
