German politician. Grimes2 (talk) 13:18, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Prose is 1,572 character, barely over a stub. This man was leader of Germany's third party for six years and was leader of the opposition, albeit for six months. What did he propose in his many election campaigns and how did he act in opposition to Merkel? My knowledge of German language and politics is far too low to expand this, however.

, which is exactly what this comment is doing. UndercoverClassicist 07:19, 15 September 2024 (UTC) - The small text says all humans, animals etc. are assumed to be notable enough to post. I never doubted that. What I said was that the page is just over the length of a stub. Would we ever consider posting a page on a Liberal Democrats leader like Charles Kennedy or Paddy Ashdown if the page was just over the definition of a stub, and a mere list of offices held rather than who they were as politicians and people? This may not be GA or FA nomination but a certain limit of length and completeness should be met. Unknown Temptation (talk) 15:18, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- DYK asks for 300 words. I don't think it's unreasonable for ITN to require as least 300 words, too. The word count is 250 now. Let's have more prose in this wikibio. Pretty sure there's more to write about this guy's career in politics. When coverage of the wikibio appears to be incomplete, it's a good reason not to feature it on the RD line, methinks. --PFHLai (talk) 21:00, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

No strong feelings either way, but we normally post space firsts, right? Sandstein 15:55, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: data in the table of launch attempts seems only sparsely cited. Do we feel that this qualifies as a "first", given that spacewalks themselves are routine -- the difference here is who has organised/funded it? UndercoverClassicist 15:59, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- That's certainly up for debate, although the media do treat this as a "first", reflecting the increasing commercialization and privatization of spaceflight. Sandstein 16:04, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support a first for space exploration. Scuba 16:17, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support - In The News, major milestone in human spaceflight PrecariousWorlds (talk) 16:25, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - It's not a major milestone in human spaceflight. It's a small milestone in the organisational backing of human spaceflight. Operationally, a spacewalk is a spacewalk. GenevieveDEon (talk) 16:29, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- I guess every major news outlet is just lying in saying that the first commercial spacewalk is a major milestone. Scuba 16:34, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's hype. News outlets frequently produce hype. Of more interest on the operational front is that this was a spacewalk without airlocks. To my mind 'first commercial spacewalk' is one of those excessively-specific superlatives, like 'tallest actor' or 'first Frenchman to cycle around the world'. I don't see the operational activity's dependence on the commercial organisation supporting it as especially remarkable. GenevieveDEon (talk) 16:44, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- I don't understand the point you're trying to make, the superlatives that you listed exist and aren't that ridiculous. It being commercial is the whole point, the commercial space race has been proof that the age of big bloated government agencies dominating every aspect of space travel is over. SpaceX doesn't get 0.48% of the US budget every year to only make one rocket every 4 years like NASA with SLS. Scuba 03:50, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

I don't see the operational activity's dependence on the commercial organisation supporting it as especially remarkable. GenevieveDEon (talk) 16:44, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Agree with GenevieveDEon. This is just a hyped up news story because of SpaceX, and because of a billionaire who is part of the team. What is fundamentally different from this and other spacewalks, which have been done numerous times by NASA or Roscosmos astronauts? We have already posted other "firsts" for commercial spaceflight, but this to me is an insignificant "first". Natg 19 (talk) 16:39, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Because it isn't being done by NASA or Roscosmos or any governmental agency, it's being done by a private company. Scuba 03:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- I guess every major news outlet is just lying in saying that the first commercial spacewalk is a major milestone. Scuba 16:34, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support - This is still a big deal; it really doesn't matter if a billionaire was involved. Inspiration4 was blurbed as it was the first all-civilian spaceflight, I feel like the first ever commercial spacewalk should get the same treatment. qw3rty 17:29, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support - in addition to the big media coverage for the first commercial spacewalk, also of significance is that the earth orbit achieved an altitude of over 1,400 kilometres - breaking the 1,370 km crewed record set in 1966 by Gemini 11/Agena. (of course the moonshot orbits were technically higher, so technically the Apollo missions were further away while trans-lunar or in lunar orbit. There's also been a new record set of 19 people in earth orbit simultaneously (on two space stations, with 5 capsules - Polaris Dawn, Soyuz MS-25, Soyuz MS-26, SpaceX Crew-8, and Shenzhou 18. Arguably, each of these three records should be blurbed. Combining into one seems more than reasonable. Nfitz (talk) 18:09, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think any of those should be blurbed. They're all just 'mosts' of things we don't normally pay attention to measuring at all. And if we're talking about the achievements of private space flight, one of the things it has done is to raise the number of people currently in Earth orbit by stranding two people on the ISS for six months. I also don't think that an altitude record that arbitrarily excludes the Apollo astronauts is a record at all. GenevieveDEon (talk) 21:36, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Apparently also the most people in vacuum at once, per the article. Sandstein 18:56, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Well - other than Columbia, which was in near vacuum when it broke up. :( Nfitz (talk) 05:56, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Apparently also the most people in vacuum at once, per the article. Sandstein 18:56, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment
per our article it wasn't a space walk... The cabin was open to space, and both persons stood at the opening but dud not leave the ship. It's a progressive step but not really a full space walk.ETA - those lines in the article have been removed, and given nearly no reliable sources puts doubt about this being a spacewalk that those lines give, then that removes that concern. Masem (t) 18:36, 12 September 2024 (UTC)- And yet the couple in the part of the unpressurized Mir station (coming from a pressurized Soyuz after the Progress M-34 collision) are called spacewalks. And what about Apollo 9? Nfitz (talk) 19:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Both of those cases have crew moving between two vessels, even if the distance was short. — Masem (t) 20:08, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- the crew moved here too. Isaacman stuck himself out the hatch, and then went back in. How is that any different? Scuba 03:53, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- And yet those are classified as space walks. I don't see the issue here ... he was only touching the tether at points, just like any other space walk outside the space station. But yes, his legs were dandling down into the hatch. I feel this is splitting hairs, and ignores the three other firsts in relation to orbit height, number of people in orbit total, and also the first exposure of 4 people to the vacuum of space at once (assuming the Columbia explosion doesn't count). Nfitz (talk) 05:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

- Support It's in the news, unlike the stale stuff that we're currently blurbing. And when reliable and respectable sources such as the NYT describe it as a milestone, that beats the OR/POV above.
- As for the spacewalk, our article tells us that this mode is called a "stand-up EVA (SEVA)". Me, I'm more impressed that they've chosen to fly through the Van Allen belt to see how bad the radiation is.
- Note also that we have pictures of the crew and so can use and rotate them.

Me, I'm more impressed that they've chosen to fly through the Van Allen belt to see how bad the radiation is.
Same here, that seems like an awfully foolish endeavor to put a civilian crew through. Duly signed, ⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 13:37, 13 September 2024 (UTC)- I feel like the teams of thousands of highly qualified engineers and physicists know what they're doing PrecariousWorlds (talk) 16:28, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- More dangerous: if any of them moved into the ISS for a 6-mo. tour of duty, where they would get about 70 mSv over that period. Or, venturing outside the Earth's protective magnetosphere fully. The Apollo crews which took the full trip "next door" and back, round-tripped through both belts; there are two and I'm not sure but is Polaris just doing the inner belt? Anyway, the Apollo crews got mission doses maxing out a bit over 10 mSv. And, most of that was not the belts, but all the rads our Sun is blasting out everywhere all the time! (Yes I got a headache trying to make sense of those confusing different units. This is why the SI is good, folks.)
- Other slightly dangerous pastimes rad-wise (see helpful images here): spending a year in Winnipeg: 4 mSv; a body CT scan: around 6–8 mSv; a coronary angiogram: 12 mSv (yes, more than most Apollo crews); working as an aviation crew member: varies widely and unpredictably, but estimated upper bound at or potentially more than 5 mSv/year. The dose makes the poison. (Fascinatingly, astronauts frequently report perceiving flashes of light caused by cosmic rays crashing through their bodies and triggering them! Mir got hit by a solar storm once and a crew member said the flashes were so bright and numerous they interfered with his sleep!) --Slowking Man (talk) 23:31, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- All I'm saying is there's a reason the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada, Boeing Winnipeg and the Winnipeg Jets keep to the traditionally "commercial" altitudes they do. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:42, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- Also come to think of it, public service announcement: make sure you check if your home has radon risk, and have it tested if it is. This is the radiation risk the average person should be most concerned about. (Besides avoiding tobacco) Also make sure to test and replace smoke + CO detectors on schedule! Slowking Man (talk) 09:39, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Slightly misleading; the Apollo spacecraft was only in a parking orbit around Earth for a brief period of time (aside from Apollo 7 and Apollo 9) as it transited rather quickly through the Van Allen belts, so it wasn't prolonged exposure as a low Earth orbit with a 1,400 kilometer perigee would have been. Duly signed, ⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 13:00, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - it being the first commercial spacewalk is very different than being the first spacewalk. Posting the former is closer to advertising, the latter an actual first. nableezy - 11:58, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose current blurb Disagree that there is anything particularly notable or groundbreaking about the first "commercialized" spaceflight - do we do a separate post for commercial versus non-commercial "firsts" with any other achievements? IMHO if we did post, what makes it notable is that it achieved a record-high orbit, as per the title of this other NYT article. If we do blurb, that is probably what the blurb should highlight. When the NYT calls it "groundbreaking" or a "record", that is the record they are referring to - the highest orbit ever reached which was not part of a mission to the moon.

- Quality issues have been addressed in terms of sourcing from what I can see. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 21:08, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

- I have no strong opinion on the posting, but I want to make it absolutely clear that posting a blurb to ITN is not 'veneration'. If Vladimir Putin drops dead tomorrow (or at any other time, in fact), I would absolutely !vote for a blurb; I would certainly not regard that !vote, or the subsequent appearance of such a blurb at ITN as 'veneration'. GenevieveDEon (talk) 16:31, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- @GenevieveDEon: But Putin is currently in power and would certainly die suddenly and not as an imprisoned, terminally ill 86 year old man who hasn't had political power for a long time. Huge difference. Abcmaxx (talk) 09:06, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

- Support blurb in principle, with no comment on article quality or sourcing. Alberto Fujimori was, for better or for worse, a major figure in modern Peruvian history. He was a consequential enough figure to merit a blurb. Kurtis 07:06, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb He was definitely a very notable leader in Latin America who made drastic changes in the politics of his country, so he's certainly more notable than routine leaders that simply adapt to the system as given. The fact his presidency is considered "dictatorship" is irrelevant. There are other "dictators" in the world whose deaths were given a blurb (e.g. Fidel Castro, Robert Mugabe, Jiang Zemin etc.).--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 07:15, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

- Needs work Lots of work. I started today by reading the NYT's account. That read quite well and it was certainly an interesting life. Then I read through our article and it came across as much more unpolished for which "never mind the quality, feel the width" seems appropriate.
- Note that the Spanish language article has a much larger readership and seems influential as the leads of the English and Spanish versions are remarkably similar. It's not clear which language is the original and which the translation or whether there's two-way traffic. There's a similar issue with the man himself – whether he was the master of his fate or just a figurehead controlled by others.

- There's a lot more to it than that. What matters is what the article actually says rather than how many footnotes it has. Adding lots of footnotes that no-one reads just adds to the "never mind the quality, feel the width" vibe. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:23, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Quality issues have been addressed in terms of sourcing. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 21:05, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb: An extremely polarising figure that has been made notable around the world. Article does need a lot of work but will support in principle. Tofusaurus (talk) 11:56, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb This one should be a no-brainer. A former head of state who was a notorious political figure in his region, convicted of human rights abuses and was a consequential political figure in Peru and possibly in his respective continent. Article does need quality work though. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 12:35, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose on quality, far too many CNs and unsourced paragraphs throughout. I am glad to see a legacy section which helps towards supporting a blurb though I'm not sure its written in the way to make sure it presents him as, as TDKR Chicago says, "a notorious political figure", and should be retouched to try to strength that approach if we are going to post as a blurb. --Masem (t) 12:54, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Quality issues have been addressed in terms of sourcing. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 21:05, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, just looked through and see one "needs context" but that's not a show stopper. Can't easily edit my vote above right now but that's a support for RD, weak support on blurb (don't think we need the separate death article, and like to see that "criticism" section titled something else buy don't know what) — Masem (t) 22:36, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Quality issues have been addressed in terms of sourcing. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 21:05, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose on Quality per concerns mentioned previously. However, I really think Fujimori is the sort of person worthy of a death blurb at ITN. Impactful and controversial politician that had a heavy hand in shaping modern Peruvian politics and it's discord. The human rights abuse charges obviously stand as the massive events of his tenure as president, as well as the coup that got him in power. DarkSide830 (talk) 15:53, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Quality issues have been addressed in terms of sourcing from what I can see TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 21:07, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb Man has an entire political ideology named after him and was the longtime president of a country. If that doesn't warrant a blurb for an RD than nothing should ever warrant a blurb for an RD. Scuba 16:19, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb I would say that alternative blurb 2 should be posted Egg470 (talk) 16:57, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Using loaded terms is not for articles, let alone the main page.Sportsnut24 (talk) 00:34, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb Head of state of 30 million people for a full decade. Judicial issues about his presidency lasted for the rest of his life, so he hardly died quietly and remotely. See Fujimorism for how many parties claim his ideology or have had it attributed to them. Comments about whether his rule was democratic or pleasant are neither here nor there. Nobody can doubt that Putin and Assad have influenced the 21st century, for what many people would say was for the worse. Unknown Temptation (talk) 17:28, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- A Life Story As with the voice of Darth Vader, the body of Darth Vader or Big Van Vader himself, these are also past accomplishments. When most people think of "news", they think "current events". What's recently happened to Fujimori (the blurb you're voting on) is what happens to all of us, sooner or later. InedibleHulk (talk) 19:53, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's why ITN is about featuring quality articles that are in the news, not about featuring the news. That a (likely) great figure died, as reported in the news, and we have an article that is nearly there for quality and demonstrating the great figure-Ness, is exactly the reason to post. It just still has some quality issues to resolve first — Masem (t) 20:12, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- By the time this article's quality is even good enough to post, it won't be much in the news anymore. Then there's the two weeks or so it'll sit even staler on the Main Page after most editors figure there's no reason to improve it beyond passable. It might make his fandom happy for a day. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:39, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

- As a nonfan (nor love-to-hater), that's happiness enough for one day for me; still can't support blurbing it on account of the two weeks or so it'll seem staler later; I'll Support Normal or Photo RD, though, on your word. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:55, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

A democratically elected president, who becomes dictator after a self-coup, who is overthrown by Congress, is exiled in the country of his parents' origin, is convicted of crimes against humanity, is the patriarch of a nysaga of politicians and his pardon brings a lot of controversy is, without a doubt, a perfect candidate for his death to have blurb. _-_Alsor (talk) 22:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

- Consensus is clearlu on the side of keeping it. It should be closed now as the article has been greatly expanded since my first comment on the discussion.Sportsnut24 (talk) 08:25, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

2024 Jordanian general election
Blurb: The Islamic Action Front makes significant gains in the 2024 Jordanian general election which was won by a broad monarchist coalition (Post)
Alternative blurb: Due to discontent from the government's response to the Israel–Hamas war, the Muslim Brotherhood affiliated Islamic Action Front has the best showing of any Islamist party in Jordanian history during the 2024 Jordanian general election, which was won by a broad monarchist coalition

One of the people who made the the Peaceful Revolution in East Germany possible, said the German President. Don't miss the video in the source that shows some key events. - The article was mostly there but too many things were translated that were clearer in German, refs were lost, others needed expansions including finding their titles, - plenty of work, took some time.

- @Harizotoh9: Is this a "support RD only" or a "support blurb"? Thanks. —Bagumba (talk) 05:47, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- – Muboshgu (talk) 20:54, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose There are several unreferenced paragraphs. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 20:56, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- note article is not yet ready for RD due to several unsourced paragraphs and a few cn's. Also I did not nominate for a blurb as though an actor with a large number of important roles, he did not have the type of impact that someone like Sidney Poitier had to the industry and doesn't met the major figure aspect. (I have a gut feeling this will draw lots of "he's famous/popular so he should be blurbed" type votes so stating my concern for this now) Masem (t) 20:57, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- from his lead,
"one of the greatest actors in American history"
but not a major figure. (eye roll) Kcmastrpc (talk) 21:04, 9 September 2024 (UTC)- From the source:
Alec Baldwin and Close each praised Jones, with Baldwin calling the 80-year-old "one of the greatest actors in American history."
One person's opinion is not a consensus. The article's lead should provide some attribution. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:15, 9 September 2024 (UTC)- Let's be honest and serious, it's not only one person's opinion. "James Earl Jones doesn't get enough credit for being a path-blazer for actors like Denzel Washington who came after him"
- And we will find more of this in countless obits that will follow. BilboBeggins (talk) 21:22, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed, though I was being hyperbolic, his influence and prominence both onscreen and offscreen make him suitable for Blurb nomination. Kcmastrpc (talk) 21:23, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Which right now, the article lacks any significant discussion of his importance or impact beyond a few statements in the lede. I'd be willing to support a blurb but if only a section that fully goes into that depth with multiple sources on the matter (which may originate from these obits) is included so that these factors are clearly demonstrated rather than hand-waved as "trust me". — Masem (t) 21:27, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- I would have suggested going with, "Pray that I don't alter the deal further." However, that seems reasonable enough. Kcmastrpc (talk) 21:29, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

- Support Blurb. Obvious blurb. EGOT achiever. Had theatre named after him during his lifetime. Had many iconic roles,had distinguished career on film, TV, and stage. And last but not least, he was Darth Vader, after all. BilboBeggins (talk) 21:17, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support Blurb. EGOT winner and without a doubt he was at the top of his field through his iconic roles and performances beyond film such as in broadway too. Death is making international headlines. However I do believe a legacy section and/or the article needs to address how influential he was in the acting field. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 21:20, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

- Was he a real actor or did he just do Darth Vader? Thank you. 86.187.239.81 (talk) 21:40, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, he was a real actor, he got Tony and Oscar. BilboBeggins (talk) 22:01, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Even if he hadn't performed multiple other roles (as you could see even just from the lead of the article), voice actors are (also) considered "real actors". Funcrunch (talk) 23:12, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Wait then Support Blurb one the most well known actors. While he is most known for Darth Vader and Mufasa’s voice, he has an incredibly long, extensive, and iconic acting career. Just needs more sourcing and expanding, specifically on his death. Kybrion (talk) 21:54, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- RD ONLY, when the article is ready. I’m sure we’ll see a Carrie Fisher rerun, with lots of fans voting for a blurb, but there’s no real call for it. - SchroCat (talk) 22:06, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Carrie Fisher is not on the scale of being transformative and not of the same level of productiveness and versatility. It is basically her only famous role. BilboBeggins (talk) 05:38, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- And yet, just like Fisher, we see an influx of fans saying "he was famous!!", "he was Darth Vader!" and wanting a blurb for that reason. People are not given a blurb for being famous or versatile or productive. I see nothing in the article that suggests he was transformative. So we're back to the fanboy cries of "blurb because he was in Star Wars!!" line of voting. - SchroCat (talk) 07:13, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- The main argument for him being indeed transformative is that he got a theatre named after him during his lifetime. Getting something named after a politician or actor while they are alive is rare. BilboBeggins (talk) 20:18, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thats absolutely no indication of a transformative aspect of his career. Having something named after him isn’t an indication of suitability for a blurb. - SchroCat (talk) 22:23, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

- Blurb He is a Black historymaker and one of the most distinguished voices to ever grace the screen and stage. He is an EGOT winner. There is a theatre named after him. He played many more characters beyond his most iconic roles. Rest in peace. -TenorTwelve (talk) 22:17, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- A black history maker ?
- He's a relatively obscure figure outside the US. Even the voice acting he did was dubbed in local languages Varoon2542 (talk) 22:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Re: the inevitable discussion over whether Star Wars actors should be blurbed , I think the following living or recently deceased are blurbable: George Lucas, James Earl Jones, and Samuel L Jackson. Harrison Ford is debatable/possible, but not as certain. Possibly Warwick Davis for representation for people with Dwarfism. Not as much for other folks (though some are debatable). The standard I would set for blurbing Star Wars actors is 1. Are they a history-maker? 2. How much have they contributed to the acting/directing field outside of Star Wars, such as other franchises or major films. James Earl Jones fits both of these. This should be an easy decision to blurb. -TenorTwelve (talk) 22:34, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'm surprised that you put Harrison Ford as "debatable/possible", but are certain about Samuel L. Jackson. Ford not only was Han Solo but was the lead roles in the Indiana Jones and Blade Runner series, not to mention starring in The Fugitive and Air Force One. Nonetheless, support blurb when ready. Natg 19 (talk) 22:43, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- There is zero reason to make any assumption that people that have starred in Star Wars should automatically be consdiered for blurbs. That's not a criteria at all. Having starred in Star Wars may have launched major careers (like Ford or Hamill), or may have cemented their place as an actor, but it is absolutely wrong to claim being in Star Wars is important enough. We're not TV Tropes or a pop culture musuem, we are an encyclopedia. — Masem (t) 02:14, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb - I may be a bit biased as a Star Was fan, but Jones had one of the most recognizable voices in cinematic history. - ZLEA T\ 22:39, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb There’s no legacy section that explains why he was transformative in his field (Ismail Kadare’s dismissal earlier this year raised the bar for a blurb).--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 22:42, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Strong oppose blurb old man dies. Death not notable as an event. This is what the RD line is for, people This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang (talk) 22:43, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- This is not true.
The death of major figures may merit a blurb
per WP:ITNRDBLURB. Whether Jones is a "major figure" or not is debatable, but there is no blanket prohibition against death blurbs for "old people dying". Natg 19 (talk) 22:47, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- This is not true.
- Support blurb when the article is ready. Not many people are recognized all over the world by their voice alone, this makes him unique. Cart (talk) 22:52, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

- Support RD, Oppose blurb because he's notable in cinema, but not worldwide. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 00:56, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support RD, Oppose blurb per WP:OLDMANDIES. Jones was not superstar level in the US and is barely known outside of the US. — AjaxSmack 01:08, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support Blurb I'm a bit surprised his notability is even being debated. Even discounting his roles as Darth Vader and Mufasa, the guy had a whole slew of other roles such that it was separated into its own list article. — Gestrid (talk) 01:35, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Notability is not in question. But he is a great figure, that's the debate. We normally do not consider aspects like fame or popularity in posting blurbs, since that is favoritism towards Western and English topics, though if that fame/popularity can be demonstrated as being part of a great figure, great. — Masem (t) 01:59, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Noone has ever heard of him outside the US. Yet again, americans surprised that there's a world outside the US Varoon2542 (talk) 12:48, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support Blurb, since I would argue that his notability alone, given his various prominent, world-known roles (i.e. Darth Vader, Mufasa, etc.), would merit a blurb. The referencing issue seems to have been sorted out as well given the voters' shift from issues of referencing to issues of notability. PootisHeavy (talk) 02:01, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Sourcing is better than when I posted the nomination but it is still missing citations and has CN tags throughout. Its not yet ready for an RD posting, much less a blurb. — Masem (t) 02:09, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support blurb, Has starred in prominent films notably Coming to America that has been a Box Office seller including voice overs in The Lion King, documentaries and Darth Vader in Star Wars.Kampolama(talk) 04:34, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- EGOT club member, easy choice for blurb (w/ usual conditional re article quality). WP:ITN:
If the person's death itself is newsworthy for either the manner of death or the newsworthy reaction to it, it may merit a blurb.
"Front page" of CNN NYT NBC News BBC, at quick glance. --Slowking Man (talk) 03:22, 10 September 2024 (UTC) - Support blurb. He is well-known outside the US and not only within it, and should be an obvious case of WP:ITNRDBLURB as a major figure (definitely not another WP:OLDMANDIES as claimed above), there are few people who wouldn't recognise his voice or characters; only 2 cn tags remaining which will likely be resolved and should not be barrier to posting. Happily888 (talk) 03:54, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Not Quite ReadyA handful of CN tags.Support Blurb once up to scratch. 1 Acadamy Award, 3 Emmys, a Golden Globe, a Grammy, a SAG, and 3 Tonys plus a plethora of second tier awards. That is more than enough for a blurb. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:13, 10 September 2024 (UTC)- Not a serving head of state/government. Manner of death not notable. ITN items should be events in their own right This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang (talk) 04:48, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

- Support for RD. Not totally convinced by the WP:ITNRDBLURB case -- his life was clearly the main story here, and while Darth Vader is universally known, I'd need more convincing that his voice actor qualifies as such a major figure. I would certainly struggle to list JEJ as (for example) one of the greatest actors of all time/the twentieth century or so on, despite being a much beloved figure. Edit: to make it formal, I would oppose blurb.UndercoverClassicist 06:40, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support Blurb. Per most of the above. Legendary actor with dozens of award received and as the voice actor for Darth Vader. 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁=☁=✈) 06:46, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Blurb I think he was a high-profile actor with a commanding presence. I don’t think he was a transformative force in acting. The article does not show that he was. I think a lot of people are mentioning that he played Darth Vader, or that he had lots of film roles, but not explaining how that makes his death blurb material. I have to wonder what this discussion would look like without the Star Wars factor - Star Wars is a phenomenon bound to appeal to Wikipedians. There are a lot of top-level theatre actors who have played high profile roles in films - are we going to blurb all of them? humbledaisy 07:15, 10 September 2024 (UTC)~
- Per the article, Jones has been recognised as an early pioneer in African Americans in stage and television, with his career spanning back to the prejudiced years of 1965. This take does speak to notability outside of his various roles and I don't think could be said for many actors. Promethean (talk) 12:24, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

- I'm asking what the rationale is. What is it that lifts James Earl Jones above the likes of Kirk Douglas, another American actor who had a long career with various awards and died at a very advanced age, or Michael Gambon, another veteran who was not a consistent leading man but is world-famous for playing a central character in a genre film franchise?

- Note that, on day 2, the readership of his article has gone up and is still over a million. This will not be because of the RD posting, which will have barely made the needle twitch. It's more likely due to the impact of tributes and follow-ups across the global media which tend to follow the death of a major figure. You don't usually see this pattern for ordinary deaths which typically have an initial spike and then a steep decline.
- And note that these numbers are huge compared to everything else on Knowledge (XXG). If you look at the top read articles, then Jones is way out in front with 1.35 million while the #2 is Cecilia Hart with just 197K. And why is she #2? That's because she was Jones' wife! You have to go to #3 to find a different topic and that just got 166K views.

- Oppose blurb Decent actor? Yes. Transformative? No. I really don't like to criticise other editor's reasoning, but let's be clear here - Kirk Douglas didn't get a blurb because "old man dies". Is Jones on a higher level? I really don't want to mention the Carrie Fisher effect here, but - oops, sorry. But really, how many non-Star Wars fans outside the US would even know who he was? Black Kite (talk) 12:16, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

- He lived a long life and continued to work into his dotage. I don't think that's all that unusual when it comes to notable film actors. There are hundreds of notable screen stars working right now whose careers span 50+ years. Donald Sutherland's career stretched back to the 1960s too but it didn't make him blurb-worthy. James Earl Jones' screen career did start during the civil rights era in the United States, but I don't think it's enough. In contrast to Sidney Poitier (whose death we blurbed), he was not a notable star at that time, he wasn't closely associated with activism and he isn't known for any major firsts as an African-American actor.

- Loads of actors have careers of many decades, I'm not seeing that as something blurb-worthy. And "being a pioneer for African Americans" is sourced to an obituary. I'd be far more likely to take that seriously if I could see RS saying that from when he was still alive. Black Kite (talk) 14:43, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

- Leaning support blurb. I just wanted to comment that I don't think WP:OLDMANDIES is applicable here. While the subject was indeed "old", he was not long-retired and out of the spotlight. He appeared in both live-action and voice roles in the 2020s, and his voice continues to be used by an agreement reached before his death. I also do think that his success as an American black actor beginning in the 1960s is inherently more transformative than that of non-minority actors in the same time period. BD2412 T 03:34, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Also not a fan of "x didn't get blurbed so neither should y" rationale. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 12:29, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- There was consensus leaning to not blurbing Delon back then and there is consensus leaning to blurbing James Earl Jones now.
- It's not that I agreed with the arguments for not blurbing Delon, because there was evidence of him being transformative in the article, but the discussion on that ended and the main problem was that it couldn't even be posted to RD. BilboBeggins (talk) 14:46, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Well, if this is going to end up being blurbed and we are going to make the Carrie Fisher mistake a second time, does anyone want to explain the rationale? Most of the votes here are just "he was Darth Vader, duh!" or "He was very famous" and those strike me as very weak arguments. I've seen very little genuine rationale for a blurb in this discussion aside from the Denzel Washington quote. That doesn't seem enough - it could be said of several other actors, more strongly Sidney Poitier who we previously blurbed - and, as I mentioned before, JEJ was not a notable star during the Civil Rights era, he wasn't closely associated with civil rights or activism and he isn't known for any major firsts as an African-American actor. Humbledaisy (talk) 15:42, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

- The mistake will be not to blurb him.
- Could you give rationale why Poitier was bigger than Janes Earl Jone? In last twenty years of his life Poitier was not active except for occasional Oscar ceremony appearances. And before that his only significant, or blockbuster role in another twenty years or so was being third-billed role in Jackal.

- “If you were an actor or aspired to be an actor, if you pounded the payment in these streets looks for jobs, one of the standards we always had was to be a James Earl Jones," — this is from no other than Samuel L. Jackson.
- “The first play that I saw was ‘Fences,’” said Tony-winning director Kenny Leon of Jones’ performance in Wilson’s seminal American play. “I was a country boy from Tallahassee, Florida, came here as a National Endowment for the Arts fellow, and I saw ‘Fences.’ It changed the directory of my professional life.”
- "Of the theater luminaries in attendance, including Brian Stokes Mitchell, LaChanze, Norm Lewis and playwright Suzan-Lori Parks, many reflected on Jones’ indelible influence on their careers" — from Variety on opening of the theatre . BilboBeggins (talk) 19:22, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose blurb His voice is recognisable in the English speaking world but he was dubbed in local languages albeit in his style. Otherwise, his name and identity are relatively obscur. This is not a fan page— Preceding unsigned comment added by Varoon2542 (talk • contribs) 22:33, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- First of all, I'm happy to see this discussion was reopened. I think it was a very poor decision to close it.
Going through the discussion, I see many reasons to blurb, including:
1) Major/iconic figure in the field. 2) EGOT recipient (even though one of his awards was noncompetitive, such recipients are still generally recognized as having an EGOT). 3) Pioneer for the Black community in acting. 4) Death is making international headlines. 5) Internationally recognizable voice 6) He was Darth Vader
I don't see the last two arguments as valid; they hinge on one or two roles (Vader & CNN bumper voice) so I'm discounting their weight
Reasons opposed to blurbing:
1) Not significant/transformative enough 2) Poitier was an earlier pioneer--I can see a case for these. 3) He's not worldwide--somewhat of a stretch considering the reach of the Star Wars franchise & CNN but I'll concede it. 4) Not on par with a world leader 5) We're an encyclopedia, not The New York Times 6) We're not a fan page These are weak rationales. We've always blurbed the occasional entertainer, all encyclopedias include articles on cultural/entertainment figures, and despite what some people seem to think we've never limited death blurbs to world leaders. 7) He's only known for Vader. Not true, he won many awards for other roles. 8) If we didn't blurb X, then we shouldn't blurb James Earl Jones. Not necessarily true. We've made poor decisions not to blurb someone in the past; doesn't mean we should repeat the mistake.
Either way, whether counting all !votes (by my count 36-18 in favor of blurbing) or just the votes that are more compelling arguments (33-10 for a blurb), there's a supermajority of at least 2-1 to blurb James Earl Jones. While I know there's no "hard number" for making a determination, this certainly seems to me like a consensus to blurb. --Pats2017 (talk) 01:34, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment. For me, blurbing Fuhimori, who not many knew and not blurbing James Earl Jones, who is worldwide known does not make much sense. Earl Jones made more impact in the world. Arguments against blurb are not convincing — they involve WP:ITNCDONT, some are oldmandies. But we do post old people's deaths, see Prince Phillip, Deepak Kumar, Henry Kissinger, former Chinese leader. Some opposes say that being voice of characters is not enough, but he did not only do that. And some users asked for praise and evidence of being transformative in reliable sources before death, which I demonstrated, many said that he inspired and influenced them. BilboBeggins (talk) 06:21, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think your demonstration passed a threshold for inclusion (speaking solely for me); everyone's line will be different, but for me he wasn't transformative enough to warrant a blurb. When you discount the straightforward fanboy voting ('but he was Vader' or 'but he was famous'), there just isn't a consensus to post. ITN isn't about blurbing people because people have heard of them (thus why Fuhimori was blurbed), but because of their impact, and JEJ wasn't transformative in my book. - SchroCat (talk) 06:36, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Not true. I went over this in my post above. Discounting both fanboy votes ("but he was Vader") and poorly reasoned oppose votes ("old man dies"/"not a head of state"/"death not notable"/"we didn't blurb X so we can't blurb JEJ") there was a clear consensus to post (it was 33-10 in favor/34-10 now...I'm not counting the "stale" vote because at the time of that post it's wasn't stale). I'm not sure how 33-10 isn't consensus to post. Just counting !votes actually was more favorable to the "oppose" verdict, but it was still 2:1 in support of posting.
- That's also not considering the discussion was closed for a day--an inexplicable decision based on how the consensus was beginning to break toward supporting a death blurb. At the time, it was about 29-9 reasoned voting; 32-16 ! votes.
- It's about to go stale, so I don't expect it to be posted now. And to be fair, while I supported blurbing James Earl Jones he's nowhere near the top of my favorite actors list, so I'm calling this as I see it. This ITN item was poorly handled. I think it's worth a discussion on the Talk Page, or wherever the proper forum would be. Pats2017 (talk) 13:13, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Strawmen arguments. Consensus is not reached by vote counting. Your final para speaks volumes about the desire for people voting out of a desire to see a favourite actor blurbed, rather than someone who was transformational. I liked JEJ as an actor, but he wasn't transformational, which is why (in my eye at least) he shouldn't have been blurbed. I suspect we'll see exactly the same situation when Harrison Ford dies too (like him a lot, appears in lots of iconic roles, but not transformational at all: but I'll put money on fanboy voting to get him a blurb). - SchroCat (talk) 15:28, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Not a straw man argument at all. In fact, what you're doing is arguing for your opposition to be a Supervote. Though there was a clear consensus to post, you want your own personal opinion to carry more weight than everybody else's. Not sure how nearly more than 75% of the votes wouldn't be a consensus, unless SchroCat's outweighs everybody else's.
- This was a botched process. It never should've been closed to Tone in the first place, and it reeks of Supervoting among admins. Pats2017 (talk) 15:43, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- What a rather strange and misguided comment. Rather obviously, I am not asking for anything of the sort. You, however, have vote counted and expect a result on that basis (see WP:Consensus and WP:NOTDEMOCRACY for more information).Nor was it a botched process. It was a reasonable close at the time, and reopened less than 24 hours later. No admin or anyone else has supervoted here, despite your rather hyperbolic claims to the contrary. - SchroCat (talk) 16:10, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nowhere have I said that vote count is the only thing that matters. In fact, I discounted many support votes. Given the overall quality of arguments AND the way they split, I find it hard for you to argue that consensus was not achieved. Just like we don't count up the votes, we also don't ignore voting. You still haven't explained how a consensus was not achieved, when it was closed with so many in support of a blurb. Hard to see how that's not a Supervote. Pats2017 (talk) 16:24, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Actually we do ignore voting. We don't ignore !voting (which means a good rationale based on the policies and guidelines of the site). There wasn't a clear consensus to post once the fanboy votes were (legitimately) ignored. That's not a supervote, and it's a shoddy accusation to throw at the admins. - SchroCat (talk) 16:54, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- I didn't count the fanboy votes, which you've repeatedly failed to acknowledge. Even limiting the vote to only those with a good rationale based on the policies and guidelines of the site, there was a consensus of !votes to blurb JEJ. For you to say there wasn't a consensus means you think some !votes carry more weight than others, which is effectively a Supervote.
- If you don't want Supervote accusations thrown at the admins, then the admins shouldn't make decisions that give off the appearance of a Supervote. Pats2017 (talk) 17:32, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Again you're counting how many people have commented, rather than weighing the arguments for and against, which is how you get to a consensus. There's a huge difference that a relative newbie can't or won't understand.No admin—or indeed any editor—has done anything even remotely similar to making a supervote. If you think they have, take it to ANI with evidence. I know you won't, because you can't: it's just emotive bs to try and swing the mind of the closer. - SchroCat (talk) 17:52, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- You just said we don't ignore !voting, and I reinforced that I did not. You still fail to acknowledge that. You seem to think that some good rationales are better than others, which is effectively a Supervote.
- As for your second comment, I'm not trying to swing anyone. I've accepted that the chances of posting this are remote. Not every potential ITN blurb I've supported has been posted, while some blurbs I was opposed to were posted. That's Knowledge (XXG) life.
- But it doesn't mean I can't weigh in when I think a decision was egregiously incorrect. Happy to take it to ANI.
- I'm sorry that this is such a upsetting conversation for you. I've explained myself multiple times, and your emotive demeanor is becoming angrier and angrier at a relative newbie. Remember not to bite the newbies. That's also a policy a relative veteran such as yourself should know. Pats2017 (talk) 18:09, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- "You seem to think that some good rationales are better than others, which is effectively a Supervote": as I've already explained, some rationales are better than others (one based on policies and guidelines will always trump a "because he's famous vote", for example). That's not a supervote - I don't think you understand what that actually means in practical termsGo ahead and open the thread at ANI then. It's an empty threat whether you do or don't - there has not been any supervoting here by anyone at any stage, as I've pointed out to you several times now.There's nothing upsetting about this conversation for me, and I am being neither emotive, angry or bitey. How on earth you think you could possibly know that is a mystery, but it's a series of untruthful claims you've made. Maybe focus on your arguments, rather than other editors in future? - SchroCat (talk) 18:29, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- I am focusing on my arguments. As I've already explained, there were many good rationales, based on policies and guidelines. At no point have I ever stated that "because he's famous" was a valid rationale. You continue to invoke arguments I'm not using--a straw man argument--to try to validate that the arguments you choose are better than anyone else's, even if they are outweighed by other !votes in both number and rationale, which is effectively a Supervote.
- I'm also not threatening anything. I'm stating an opinion. That's not a threat, it's an opinion . Pats2017 (talk) 18:44, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- You are mixing your arguments up with untruthful comments about me, as is clear in the final paragraph of this comment. You don't have a clue about my demeanour, so please stop.Yet again you misunderstand what a supervote is. Please read WP:SUPERVOTE and stop throwing the term around so blithely. The use of the term suggests that an admin has behaved indecorously, when that is untrue. If you think it is so, then crack on with the ANI thread, otherwise stop throwing round untruthful accusations. - SchroCat (talk) 19:09, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- You as well are making untruthful comments about me; to wit, saying that I engage in "emotive bs."
- I have indeed read WP:SUPERVOTE, long before this string began in fact. I stand by my opinion that closing the James Earl Jones blurb proposal was essentially a supervote. You're free to disagree with me. Disagreements happen all the time. This is Knowledge (XXG). Pats2017 (talk) 19:25, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- So you’re accusing Tone, an Admin, of conduct unbecoming by making a supervote? Thats a big accusation: take it to ANI before you are reported there for incivility for making false accusations. - SchroCat (talk) 19:39, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

- We can't be sure about the motivation, otherwise we could suggest that oppose votes were driven by dislike of the character.
- Isn't it how we derive decision, we base it on discussion and on consensus. And yes, the amount of votes also gives us impression of how community views him and how notable he is for being put on main page. BilboBeggins (talk) 16:28, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- That's one of the most bizarre comments I've ever seen: Oppose votes were driven by people's dislike of one character he voiced in a long career? That's just ridiculous! And no, his notability is what guarantees his article and either an RD or a blurb. You don't get a blurb for somehow being 'super-notable', or some other false claim. - SchroCat (talk) 16:54, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Strawmen arguments. Consensus is not reached by vote counting. Your final para speaks volumes about the desire for people voting out of a desire to see a favourite actor blurbed, rather than someone who was transformational.

- Though I agree with blurbing Jones, it is laughable to me to say that he
made more impact in the world
. An actor typically has less impact than a world leader, such as a president. I personally have not heard of Fujimori, but president of Peru is a bigger impact than a great actor. Natg 19 (talk) 06:56, 16 September 2024 (UTC)- Why do we consider this straightforward fanboy voting? If we discount votes, we need to discount votes with argumentation against the rules, like being an acting head of state is not required for blurb, Oldmandies link leads to discussion without consensus for this item and is without a closure. BilboBeggins (talk) 12:34, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Fuimori, who not many knew and ... James Earl Jones, who is worldwide known
. I don't think either of those claims is accurate. Fujimori was massive news throughout his presidency in the 1990s and (fall from grace, conviction, imprisonment, daughter running for president three times) over the following 2½ decades. But as Knowledge (XXG):Systemic bias says, "Knowledge (XXG) underrepresents the perspectives of people in the Global South". Moscow Mule (talk) 16:46, 16 September 2024 (UTC)- Alberto Fujimori is a household name across the world, Earl Jones isn't known outside the US. He was dubbed and even those who dubbed his characters aren't particularly celebrated for that
- The fact that you're minimising the impact of a president whose legacy still lingers in South America to an actor known for two voice acting, is quite telling Varoon2542 (talk) 20:11, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think your demonstration passed a threshold for inclusion (speaking solely for me); everyone's line will be different, but for me he wasn't transformative enough to warrant a blurb. When you discount the straightforward fanboy voting ('but he was Vader' or 'but he was famous'), there just isn't a consensus to post. ITN isn't about blurbing people because people have heard of them (thus why Fuhimori was blurbed), but because of their impact, and JEJ wasn't transformative in my book. - SchroCat (talk) 06:36, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support Blurb While I have no further light to shed, I believe the above arguments for the blurb/transformative are compelling to support a blurb here. @DarkSide830:, you did the right thing reopening this. Whether this gets blurbed or not, it’s good to achieve solid consensus and this provided such needed opportunity for discussion. DrewieStewie (talk) 15:23, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I believe that there's a consensus to blurb this and seeing how the two oldest ITN items predates Jones's death, I don't think there's a reason not to blurb this asap. It'd be a real shame if this didn't get blurbed because it got stale due to a long wait. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 17:15, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Another six hours debating time remaining? Martinevans123 (talk) 17:55, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Not just stale and not just a recent death, but a recent death which has already rolled off the RD carousel (where it belonged) for several days. He was 93 and an American actor (sometimes pictured). What's the point in anybody who didn't know this last Monday finding out today? InedibleHulk (talk) 19:17, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Another 7 days needed to properly debate the (potential) inclusion of the name "Darth Vader" in a blurb? Martinevans123 (talk) 19:24, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- The only true Vader is Big Van Vader and anyone telling me otherwise is a potentially harmful Contrarian. InedibleHulk (talk) 19:32, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Another 7 days needed to properly debate the (potential) inclusion of the name "Darth Vader" in a blurb? Martinevans123 (talk) 19:24, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- A decision was already made not to post this. At least twice. No confidence it won't just be reopened again if it's passed over a third time. Just let it roll off when the bot archives it. —Cryptic 19:26, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- That's one closure and one removal of a needless tag (admins should be the only ones adding these tags IMO). DarkSide830 (talk) 19:39, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

The nominated event is listed on WP:ITN/R, so each occurrence is presumed to be important enough to post. Comments should focus on whether the quality of the article and update meet WP:ITNCRIT, not the significance.
Both articles are GAs, and US Open wins (men's and women's posted together) are covered by ITNR. Not sure how to do it with two pictures -- I assume in practice we would alternate them? UndercoverClassicist 06:19, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- In practice, both images will be combined into one, and the combined one will be used. – robertsky (talk) 07:56, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. The article for this news story and the ITN/R candodate is not the bios of the winners, but the tournament article 2024 US Open (tennis). And this is not remotely up to scratch. No prose summaries of the events at all. — Amakuru (talk) 09:15, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Obviously we should do more work on the U.S. Open article itself, but the fact that we have not one but both of the winners' articles at GA status means I'd love if we could find a way to highlight them as well. DecafPotato (talk) 09:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose the WP:ITNR item is the event 2024 US Open (tennis), and that article is nowhere near WP:ITNQUALITY. It needs a substantial amount of prose added to it before meeting ITNQUALITY. The 2 player articles have only a few sentences about this tournament, and so should not be used as the bold links in order to circumnavigate the inadequacy of the 2024 US Open (tennis) article, and the player articles are not ITNR. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:02, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- I must admit, this line of argument seems overly procedural to me -- yes, a nomination for the US Open article would have quality issues, but running the the players' articles gives us the chance update ITN with an unquestionably noteworthy event and to direct readers to two of our better articles. I don't see any guidance in WP:ITNR as to precisely which article needs to be nominated: as I read it, it's the event that has consensus to be posted, not a specific article. UndercoverClassicist 10:28, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- No it isn't "overly procedural". The ITNR is for showcasing the event 2024 US Open (tennis), and putting 2 articles about people that have around 1 paragraph about that event doesn't achieve this. WP:ITNR lists the event as recurring, so the event article needs to meet WP:ITNQUALITY. The solution to avoid any more discussion would be to fix the event article, because like almost all tennis articles nominated here, it has zero prose text about the events. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:38, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- WP:ITNSPORTS reads
Generally, the specific event article for that year/time period is the target article in the blurb ...

- Oppose lead article(s) listed in the nomination are wrong as mentioned above. The tournament is the INTR item and not the winners. The main tournament article is no way near ready to be posted. There are all tables and scores but very little prose. I would suggest the nominator to check out the 2024 French Open and 2024 Wimbledon Championships articles (the two grand slams that were posted) to see what kind of improvements this article needs. ਪ੍ਰਿੰਸ ਆਫ਼ ਪੰਜਾਬ 11:06, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose the US open article has very little prose. Fails to met the WP:ITNQUALITY. Also, since there has no work done on the article since it's nomination, I don't think it will get in shape to be posted. LiamKorda 09:06, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Unfortunately, article is pretty barebones. The event is ITN/R but hasn't actually been posted since 2020, which is the last time we had a high-quality US Open article. I don't think it's a good idea to remove it from ITN/R, as it's a Grand Slam so by definition it's one of the four biggest tennis events of the calendar year. Agree with PrinceofPunjab above that using other Grand Slam articles as a template could help get future US Open articles up to snuff. --Pats2017 (talk) 00:52, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- If there has been multiple years in a row of no attempt to get the ITNR article up to quality, it is completely fair to nominate it for removal from ITNR, but that should be done on the talk page. (It would be different if there was a true attempt falling short due to timing, but that's just not happened). — Masem (t) 00:59, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

- The linked article asserts this is part of the Israel-Hamas conflict that started in Oct 2023. I'm not seeing how it is different. The linked article above is linked in one of the top navboxes of the main Israel-Hamas page as well. Masem (t) 15:07, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Soft oppose Problem I have with including this in the ongoing section is that currently the conflict is little more than drone and artillery strikes by both sides. If the Israeli army launched a ground offensive into Lebanon, or vice versa, than I would support inclusion. Scu ba (talk) 15:30, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose unless conflict escalates - Right now it's confined to skirmishes and not a full-scale conflict. If we must post this I say we include a spillover link in the ongoing item PrecariousWorlds (talk) 16:08, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per above - thus far it's just been exchanges of rocket fire and airstrikes, which is pretty much what it's been for a long time - just that they've gotten more frequent that normal. The Kip 16:37, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose more similar to the Kashmiri conflict then a full scale war. Wait until a proper invasion by ground troops and then we’ll add it to ongoing. 27.96.223.192 (talk) 05:34, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support it's an ongoing event and notable in itself, and is getting regular updates. Nowhere does it say it has to be full scale war for an event to be considered. Abcmaxx (talk) 08:40, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support as per Abcmaxx. This is an ongoing event with regular updates. I would also accept bringing back the "Spillover of the Israel-Hamas war" ongoing item. --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 10:04, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment While, I leaning oppose as of right now, I would say that there are already three ongoing entries. Four would be far too much. I suggest we should one of them before adding this one. ਪ੍ਰਿੰਸ ਆਫ਼ ਪੰਜਾਬ 11:08, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- The number of ongoing items currently listed shouldn't be a factor, merely that there's just a lot going on in the world right now. Each nomination should be decided on its own merits. Abcmaxx (talk) 06:57, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support merging with Israel–Hamas War ongoing. I don't see that we need two different ongoings for two different aspects of essentially the same conflict. What to call it though? "Israeli-wars"?, "Israel-Palestine conflicts"? "Palestine situation"? - it's hard to think of a title that is both encompassing and neutral. Nfitz (talk) 13:14, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's not even an Israeli-Arab war it is much more nuanced than that. However, not convinced it is the same conflict. Yes, Hamas and Hezbollah are linked, and obviously one conflict escalation led to the other, but Lebanon isn’t Palestine and it brings a whole different set of issues and potential outcomes. I would argue even that what happens in the West Bank is not the same conflict as what happens in Gaza; different political forces, different area, different issues to contend with.

Nominator's comments: Norwegian actress. Seems sufficiently cited, except for filmography section (which needs citations). Oceanh (talk) 09:51, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Per MOS:FILMCAST, a citation isn't required (though there's nothing stopping us providing one) as long as the role is credited. UndercoverClassicist 10:30, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- FILMCAST applies to pages about films, not to BLP, which have higher standards for sourcing. Masem (t) 15:08, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- They do, but FILMCAST applies to
film-related articles
, not exclusively articles about films (an article on a film actor qualifies as "film-related", in my view, under any reasonable reading). The BLP sourcing standards in question are thatany material challenged or likely to be challenged
must be sourced. Putting those together, a citation would of course be welcome in any case, and required if there was a reasonable chance that someone would dispute whether she held a particular role. UndercoverClassicist 16:39, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- They do, but FILMCAST applies to
- I don't see where it says a citation is not required. Can you quote the excerpt? —Bagumba (talk) 06:47, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- For uncredited roles, a citation should be provided in accordance with Knowledge (XXG)'s verifiability policy. This is a case where the exception proves the rule -- by specifying that uncredited roles need a citation, it follows that credited roles do not (necessarily) require one. It's also covered by WP:PRIMARY, which has a primary source may only be used on Knowledge (XXG) to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge: if a credit to the person is visible when watching the film, the film itself is a sufficient citation for the statement that they held a credited role, unless there is good reason to require further (dis)proof. UndercoverClassicist 10:41, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- So, the essence in what you are saying, is that citing the film itself (say, a dvd, or an online version) is sufficient for a credited role. But if there are no citations at all, we can not know whether the information is just taken from an «unreliable» source, such as another wiki or imdb. Oceanh (talk) 11:16, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I suppose that would be a good way to do it, and within the spirit of WP:PRIMARY. Not required doesn't mean that it's required not to be included. UndercoverClassicist 13:32, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

The storm made historic landfall, the death toll continued to rise, and the article is in good shape. HurricaneEdgar 00:43, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

The nominated event is listed on WP:ITN/R, so each occurrence is presumed to be important enough to post. Comments should focus on whether the quality of the article and update meet WP:ITNCRIT, not the significance.
Nominator's comments: A national election that deserves to be ITN per WP:ITN/R Scu ba (talk) 22:04, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nominator, the article looks OK. Trepang2 (talk) 04:44, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support seems fine MAL MALDIVE (talk) 04:47, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Wait the lede of the election article needs to be expanded as it is about only 10 words as of now. ਪ੍ਰਿੰਸ ਆਫ਼ ਪੰਜਾਬ 11:29, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nominator, and as the creator. It does look OK to me. — Sundostund mppria 14:08, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The main story seems to be the feud pitting all the candidates against the electoral authority over voter turnout (announced as an "average" of 48%, but calculated as less than a quarter of registered voters). Perhaps it would be wise to wait until there is agreement on turnout... -- SashiRolls 14:55, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support - Checks results; 95% of the vote. Sounds very legitimate lol, but that doesn't affect notability. ITN/R, let's post but I think we should also consider adding something in the blurb about the fraudulent nature of the election PrecariousWorlds (talk) 15:11, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment @PrecariousWorlds: I stand by to my support vote, but I do agree with you that some note about the (fraudulent) nature of the election should be considered. — Sundostund mppria 17:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment added a new altblurb about the election not exactly being free and fair. Scu ba (talk) 19:00, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment @Scu ba: This is obviously an improvement, but consider using stronger language and label the election as "so-called" or "fraudulent". — Sundostund mppria 19:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- We didn't do that for the Russian election, why would we do it for the Algerian election? Scu ba (talk) 23:03, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- There was a very long discussion as to not try and accidentally convey that the Russian election was anything more than a sham from what I remember. Abcmaxx (talk) 08:15, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment @Scu ba: This is obviously an improvement, but consider using stronger language and label the election as "so-called" or "fraudulent". — Sundostund mppria 19:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support: I think "which the opposition boycotted" is sufficient for the reader to join the necessary dots, and is nicely factual and verifiable, whereas "the election was fraudulent" is much trickier. UndercoverClassicist 06:14, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, fraud is a crime and labelling something fraudulent requires a legal process usually (as would e.g. murder or theft); given this is a de facto dictatorship we may never get any closure ever even if the regime falls as to how fraudulent or not this election is. At the same time I have long argued not to mislead by suggesting equivalency between fair and sham elections. Abcmaxx (talk) 08:13, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I would say that an "election" like this, where even the winner complains about irregularities alongside opposition candidates, should be subjected to stronger language than what is usual. — Sundostund mppria 10:41, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose It seems to have been a shambles with even the winner querying the bizarre variation in the figures. And the formal result is under appeal. Presenting this as a legitimate and respectable election is misinformation. Andrew🐉(talk) 22:20, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Andrew Davidson: I think we all agree that we categorically should not present this as a legitimate and respectable election; the question is how do we present it? Abcmaxx (talk) 10:51, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- I looked at the BBC site to see how they presented the result and it doesn't appear that they have done so yet. So, that's a good clue that we should wait on further coverage rather than rushing to judgement. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:17, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

- Support altblurb - article is fine quality-wise. On the fraudulent nature, ALT1 uses the "declared the winner" language I personally prefer for questionable elections, while "which the opposition boycotted" sends the whole point home. The Kip 06:09, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Oppose The article is missing many citations, such as in the National politics section and Honours & Decorations sections. Also, the article contains no information on Barnier's actions between the 2022 French presidential election and being appointed PM.Gödel2200 (talk) 15:37, 5 September 2024 (UTC)- I've sorted the National politics section; working on the decorations at the moment. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot written on his activities between 2022 and today, at least going by what I can find on frWiki and French sources, so we can't include much per WP:DUEWEIGHT -- unless you have some sources I haven't seen? UndercoverClassicist 16:47, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

- It's unfortunate -- my hope is that good sources for them exist, but I can't find anything (even in the awarding nations' languages) other than Wikipedias or Wiki-mirrors. The German Knowledge (XXG) has a very suspicious citation to "Federal Government" (in plain text) for the German award. All removed for now -- we now have no CN tags and I think the article's referencing should be up to the standard we need. UndercoverClassicist 18:39, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

- Knowledge (XXG) is not a reliable source, especially a page that does not cite any sources, such as the one you mention. As is well known, executive power is shared between the President and the Prime Minister according to the French Constitution. The Prime Minister heads the government, which "determines and conducts government policy". This is particularly evident in periods of cohabitation, such as the current period. Cf. . The error on the page you mention has been fixed based on Article 21 of the French constitution. -- SashiRolls 07:13, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- The status of the current period as a cohabitation is still being discussed by reliable sources, as it is pretty much a unique situation between an entirely presidential regime and a "full" cohabitation. While the Prime Minister himself calls it "coexistence" rather than "cohabitation", political analysts describe it as "a new form of cohabitation", with the portmanteau "coalitation" being especially popular as the power shifts from the President to the National Assembly. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 23:11, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- Leaving aside forumy discussions about whether a PM from a party holding fewer than 40 seats in the National Assembly represents a true transfer of power reflective of the results of the legislative election, the fact remains that the PM is (at the very least the nominative) co-leader of the executive branch and therefore his appointment is newsworthy. Article 21:
Le Premier ministre dirige l'action du Gouvernement. Il est responsable de la défense nationale. Il assure l'exécution des lois. Sous réserve des dispositions de l'article 13, il exerce le pouvoir réglementaire et nomme aux emplois civils et militaires.

- Support: Those opposing are doing so largely based on faulty arguments: firstly, executive power is "bicephalous" (two-headed) in France. While the power of the prime minister is largely nominal when the President and PM are from the same party, this is not the case during divided government. Secondly, whether the nomination process is democratic or not does not determine whether something is newsworthy. -- SashiRolls 08:32, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

- Support. Independent of the actual power of the PM, it's worth noting the situation here. French politics have increasingly heated lately, new elections were called, and Macron's recently appointed PM resigned within a year. Meanwhile, he goes with a different sort of pick here, but not without some backlash by the public. Again, this is discounting the actual power of the French PM, which seems to be understated in this discussion. DarkSide830 (talk) 23:53, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

- His predecessor's item was posted. It was later pulled due to a lack of consensus over the blurb language (inclusion or not of his status as the first openly gay PM). The case was different too, of course, because it was not a situation of cohabitation (in which the President's primacy over the executive is lost to the PM). You supported posting Attal, but do not support posting Barnier. I'm confused as to why when the PM is exercising executive power you oppose, but when the PM was only administering the President's will you supported. -- SashiRolls 15:34, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- @SashiRolls, when I posted the support vote at the item, it was my only 15th edit to ITN/C page and was still learning the entire process. Since that time I've made more than 600 edits and I would have opposed that nomination now. Now, why I supported that nomination was because of his sexuality (shouldn't have). My Opposition now has more to do to with the power of the PM.

Recent deaths of any person, animal or organism with a Knowledge (XXG) article are always presumed to be important enough to post (see this RFC and further discussion). Comments should focus on whether the quality of the article meets WP:ITNRD.
Nominator's comments: An Ugandan runner who most recently represented her country at the 2024 Summer Olympics, and has now fell victim of a horrible crime. The article definitely needs some more work, but the sources I've included should help us. Oltrepier (talk) 08:40, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment would this merit a blurb? She was a very renowned sportsperson around the world. Abcmaxx (talk) 08:51, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Abcmaxx As much as I'd like that possibility, I don't think so...
- Unlike Kelvin Kiptum's case, Cheptegei didn't have many notable achievements, aside of her victory at the 2021 WMTR Championships and her recent participation at the Olympics, and so most people would rather get to know her because of this extremely appalling event. Oltrepier (talk) 09:33, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose for now - the Sporting career section is very under-referenced at the moment. As above, probably not quite blurb level but worth noting that media around the world such as the NY Times and Guardian have it on their front pages. Such a really tragic story. — Amakuru (talk) 10:20, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment We've had two tragic deaths of notable sports individuals in the past week or so where editors seemed to have missed the WP:SPIRIT of WP:ITNRDBLURB and I'd encourage editors to really introspect on whether or not suppressing blurbs for these individuals is beneficial to our readers. ITN is pretty stale right now too, fwiw. Quality issues aside with this article, obviously, I Support blurb once usual citation issues are cleared up. Kcmastrpc (talk) 12:36, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- WP is not a newspaper. ITN is not about reporting news but to feature encyclopedic quality articles that are in the news. Just because this is a tragic event to a recent Olympic athlete dies not mean it is appropriate to highlight the death as a blurb since their significance overall is minor, in addition to the poor state of the article. — Masem (t) 14:27, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Masem Johnny Gaudreau just got GA nominated, so it's not just about quality of the article. I will admit, this one needs some work, but multiple editors are working on it.

- WP is not a newspaper. ITN is not about reporting news but to feature encyclopedic quality articles that are in the news. Just because this is a tragic event to a recent Olympic athlete dies not mean it is appropriate to highlight the death as a blurb since their significance overall is minor, in addition to the poor state of the article. — Masem (t) 14:27, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

- The death count is the significant part. 27.96.223.192 (talk) 22:16, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support on notability—With no comment on article quality (though my support is contingent upon it being sufficiently sourced and well-written in principle). 129 people getting killed in a single event is a major news event worthy of a blurb on the main page. My preference is for alt. blurb 2, but maybe with the "and dozens injured" line from alt1 added in for good measure. Kurtis 02:08, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support on notability due to at least 129 people being killed, with alt2 as my preference.
However, the article needs to be expanded before posting.Gödel2200 (talk) 12:08, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

- Update thank you all for your help, shout out in particular to @Gödel2200: for expanding, article in much better shape now. Expanded majorly, but there is whole host of very good references if anyone believes it should be expanded further. Abcmaxx (talk) 08:39, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose ITN doesn't regularly post these kind of events, even with somewhat high deathcounts. Four recent examples from a very quick search of ITN archives are the Mahara prison riot, the February 2021 Ecuadorian prison riots, the Tuluá prison riot, and the September 2021 Guayaquil prison riot (which even had a similar death count of 123). The point is that prison riots or escapes are generally not notable, unless they were caused by something significant occurring outside the prison. Flyingfishee (talk) 12:37, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- The Mahara prison riot and Tuluá prison riot noms were not posted only due to quality issues (meaning there was not consensus against notability). For the other two mentioned examples (the February 2021 Ecuadorian prison riots and September 2021 Guayaquil prison riot), it does not seem that they were even nominated, which means there was not consensus against posting. In fact, prison riots do get featured on ITN. See for example this one, which was from June 2023. Gödel2200 (talk) 13:32, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- @AusLondonder, Gödel2200, Personisinsterest, Nfitz, Midori No Sora, Kurtis, The Kip, PrinceofPunjab, Ad Orientem, and Kcmastrpc: any comment on quality now that the article has been expanded? Abcmaxx (talk) 21:08, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

- There are many ways a nominator can write a blurb for a typhoon/hurricane/cyclone. See the blurb for the recent Typhoon Gaemi.
- For example, it can be like "Storm leaves more than number dead across this country" or "At least number people are killed when storm makes landfall over this country." With that said, I'm still not satisfied with either of the blurbs and I don't see this being posted on the ITN at the moment. 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁=☁=✈) 10:38, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

- 27.96.223.192 Yes it's
typhoon Yagi hit on Philippines
. Can fix? 🌀TyphoonAmpil🌀 (💬 - 📝) 11:52, 2 September 2024 (UTC)- I don’t mean to be the grammar police but the I believe the correct term is “Typhoon Yagi has hit the Philippines causing XYZ damage”. 27.96.223.192 (talk) 12:32, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- I believe the correct term is "Tropical Storm Yagi". That said, despite weaking significantly, it appears it will strengthen significantly, and is forecast to hit the Hainan province of China as a category 3, if not 4, Typhoon; and and then head straight for Hanoi in North Vietnam, where it could be a category 1. So let's wait and see if this becomes a Typhoon and does some serious destruction. Nfitz (talk) 21:39, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose an actual typhoon hit Japan recently, causing casualties, and that was rejected by ITN due to notability. Should be no different in this case for a tropical storm. Scu ba (talk) 16:00, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per above. ਪ੍ਰਿੰਸ ਆਫ਼ ਪੰਜਾਬ 17:08, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose Not notable enough in its current state; storm likely to have more impact in a few days.

- Please be mindful of the difference between strong oppose and wait and the impact this has on the closing admin. A straight up vote count would lead to this being SNOW closed, regardless of what will transpire when this typhoon's impacts are finally fully realized. If you actually mean "wait", say wait. Duly signed, ⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 12:41, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Conditional support I'd be willing to support this once it hits landfall in Mainland China or Hong Kong and the article is updated to reflect events there. I don't understand why there are so many opposes right now, it will lead to the nomination being closed too soon. Flyingfishee (talk) 12:42, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Wait: article is in good shape, so no issues there, but this seems likely to become a bigger story imminently -- see today's mass evacuation in China for instance. UndercoverClassicist 15:11, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Article updated
Recent deaths of any person, animal or organism with a Knowledge (XXG) article are always presumed to be important enough to post (see this RFC and further discussion). Comments should focus on whether the quality of the article meets WP:ITNRD.
Nominator's comments: NY Times obit published 1 September. Thriley (talk) 03:09, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. While its decently sourced, the article is a stub and needs expansion. 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁=☁=✈) 05:07, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Weak Support while I would love to see an expansion, I think the article is just about alright. ਪ੍ਰਿੰਸ ਆਫ਼ ਪੰਜਾਬ 17:40, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Short, needs a few sentences on his youth to at least be semi-comprehensive, which is readily available in obits like this from NYT.—Bagumba (talk) 12:05, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support @Admins willing to post ITN: This has enough details & references. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 23:07, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

The nominated event is listed on WP:ITN/R, so each occurrence is presumed to be important enough to post. Comments should focus on whether the quality of the article and update meet WP:ITNCRIT, not the significance.
Nominator's comments: A national election that deserves to be ITN. Article could use an aftermath section though. Scu ba (talk) 14:32, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Added altblurb. "Ilham Aliyev's (pictured)" is odd wording. Natg 19 (talk) 17:10, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose article is in a poor state and also, aren't these elections kind of the sham ones. ਪ੍ਰਿੰਸ ਆਫ਼ ਪੰਜਾਬ 17:10, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Doesn't change the fact all national elections are ITNR. Scu ba (talk) 17:33, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- I find nothing wrong with posting "sham" elections, but oppose, as the article needs to be improved before it can be posted. Natg 19 (talk) 17:22, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Sham election aside, the article is dreadfully lacking content. The Kip 06:31, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support - Shocking election result, never saw it coming. Jokes aside it's ITNR and article is improving PrecariousWorlds (talk) 16:26, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb and altblurb, added altblurb2 I think the word "wins" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in a dictatorship and such a doubtless sham election, to whitewash or omit this distinction would be misleading. Abcmaxx (talk) 11:47, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support altblurb2. Article isn't going to pass GAN any time soon, but it is fully referenced to what appear to be good sources, and gets the key information across -- no obvious deficiencies that should hold it back from the main page, especially given the ITNR nature of the event. UndercoverClassicist 21:11, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support ALT 2 The Article is somewhat short at 2691 characters, but is well cited. Thriley (talk) 21:32, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support ALT 2 Adding !vote just to add more noise. Article is in minimum shape but is ready and I support Alt2 per Abcmaxx. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 22:49, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support ALT 2 Reliable sources, and many presidential elections have previously been on MP. NikolaiVektovich (talk) 16:48, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
