There is an almost identical template {{Norwegian elections and referenda}}. (Update by Player 03: they are now the same; the one below redirects to this.)

One should be deleted. Those involved in creating these templates might want to confer on which one to get rid of.Inge 14:52, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-01-25T14:52:00.000Z","author":"Inge","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Inge-2007-01-25T14:52:00.000Z","replies":["c-Number_57-2007-01-25T15:11:00.000Z-Inge-2007-01-25T14:52:00.000Z"]}}-->

Personally I would say keep this one as it is part of a series (see the full list here), but then again I am the creator of all these so I am not necessarily objective :)

It is also a bit strange that there are two seperate articles on each election - one concerning the results and one a list of the MPs elected. Perhaps they could be merged somehow?

I decided to merge the two. I also agree that the articles should be merged, but I don't have the time to do that at the moment.

Winners of the Norwegian parliamentary elections?

I think that heading is a bit strange, and somewhat misleading. Why not "Members of the Norwegian Parliament"? In day-to-day language, one wouldn't call all the mp's "winners". That would more commonly be used for the party or parties who performed best in the election.--Barend (talk) 10:20, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-09-23T10:20:00.000Z","author":"Barend","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Barend-2008-09-23T10:20:00.000Z-Winners_of_the_Norwegian_parliamentary_elections?","replies":[]}}-->
