I propose that United Nations Secretary-General election, 2016 be merged into United Nations Secretary-General selection, 2016. I think that the content in the election article can easily be explained in the context of selection, and the selection article is of a reasonable size that the merging of election will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. And this one is more accurate and complete. -- Wildcursive ( talk) 23:03, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

This media outlet suggests that Christiana Figueres withdrew her candidacy. It's in Spanish and Google Translate isn't the most reliable tool. Can a Spanish speaking user confirm it ? This is the article. -- Killuminator ( talk) 22:16, 31 August 2016 (UTC) The polls in the article seem to indicate this I done. Lihaas ( talk) 12:01, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
Guterres is not "the ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations to succeed Ban Ki-moon". He was elected to succeed Ban Ki-moon as the ninth SG of the UN". -- Richardson mcphillips ( talk) 16:34, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
At the time of this selection, North Macedonia was "FYROM" or "FYR Macedonia" within the UN. This was also how the candidacy was presented:
