Recent deaths of any person, animal or organism with a Wikipedia 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: Actress from Vienna, from a dynasty of actors, Burgtheater, Salzburg Festival, but pleasing audiences most in television series. Many awards. The article was a stub, sadly. I expanded and sourced the prose. What's missing are refs for some of the films, and for some of the awards. The films have articles, so I hope to find something there. The awards are impressive if we only take those with a ref. Sorry for bringing "her" late - I was on vacation. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:19, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Nominator's comments: Fleetwood Mac vocalist / keyboardist --Vacant0 (talk) 19:47, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support Article is extensive and updated. Subject was a prominent member of Fleetwood Mac, a major global musical act (R&R Hall of Fame, 4 US and 4 UK number one albums, etc) GeoGreg (talk) 22:02, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support. McVie was an integral part of Fleetwood Mac's most successful lineup. Wrote many of the band's biggest hits, including "Don't Stop", "You Make Loving Fun", and "Everywhere". Lunaroxas (talk) 22:49, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose McVie was part of a group of music, whose music that spans a human generation or more. Urbanracer34 (talk) 23:54, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose on quality. Several unsourced paragraphs, some have been marked with CN tags. I'd also prefer to have sourcing for Billboard etc placement also included here even if those are sourced on the various album or song articles also, did she even get any nominations or recognition? That seems missing... --Masem (t) 00:02, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
• Comment Having an article means that she’s notable enough for RD, so that shouldn’t factor into support or opposition. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 07:10, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

  That is incorrect. WP:ITNQUALITY states "Articles should be well referenced; one or two "citation needed" tags may not hold up an article, but any contentious statements must have a source, and having entire sections without any sources is unacceptable. Biographies of living persons are held to higher standards of referencing because of their sensitive nature, and these rules also apply to those recently deceased.". Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 11:45, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

  You're talking about two different things. Blaylockjam10 said significance is not a factor in response to two editors making significance arguments. You're talking about quality. GreatCaesarsGhost 12:32, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

• Wait for the rest of the day to see if the tags can be addressed. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:31, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

• This is extremely cool and I hope these articles will be expanded greatly. A merge might be an option too, as these two articles have a lot of duplicate information. Regardless, these two articles as they stand now are not suitable for an ITN feature. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 10:25, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

  I am all for good science stories but these two are really short. Maybe a better target would be the article about this meteorite? Tone 10:39, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

  There doesn't seem to be an article on the meteorite individually either. This feels more like a DYK. Masem (t) 13:22, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

  I'm working on it Draft:El Ali meteorite CT55555(talk) 19:15, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

  Done El Ali meteorite. Seems like this is one of the largest meteorites on Earth. CT55555(talk) 19:28, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

• I have no strong understanding of asteroid science, but haven’t they discovered new minerals in meteorites every so often? Juxlos (talk) 11:11, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose. Approximately 100 new minerals are recognised every year (see List of minerals recognized by the International Mineralogical Association). It's not unknown for them to appear only in extraterrestrial samples - just two months ago, a new mineral was discovered in a Moon rock [2]. While this story is mildly interesting and the press release has generated a couple of media stories, it has no other significance or likely lasting impact. DYK seems a more appropriate venue, though it might be better to start an article on the meteorite itself and merge the two mineral descriptions into that. Modest Genius ^talk 13:38, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

  Question (I started both articles mentioned) to what extent are the 100 per year notable, making international news, justifying articles? Are there 100 new mineral articles per year, or is this indeed something unusual? CT55555(talk) 17:22, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

  Quite common, it seems; a few in the last couple years alone. It just happens that The Guardian picked up this story, but I don’t see this exactly on headline or page 1 news. Maybe the science sections. Juxlos (talk) 07:57, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

  I don't know either the field or the wikipedia articles well enough to put an estimate on that number. Wikipedia:WikiProject Rocks and minerals might know, but doesn't seem very active. New minerals certainly get reported in the mainstream media several times per year. Perhaps the most-covered recent example is davemaoite. Modest Genius ^talk 12:18, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose per Modest Genius. DarkSide830 (talk) 14:05, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
• Reluctant Oppose per above. Normally I would support this as it sounds rather interesting. But it does seem to be not altogether uncommon. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:15, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Oppose per above Editor 5426387 (talk) 20:19, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Oppose - Interesting story, but, per above, doesn't quite make it to ITN. Maybe DYK? PrecariousWorlds (talk) 10:45, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I agree. This belongs more to the DYK page. Vida0007 (talk) 16:02, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

• Wow that’s fast. Anyways support on notability, however since the death was literally just announced I suggest we wait until tomorrow so all things that are supposed to be edited is edited before posting on RD. Also there’s an orange tag that needs to be resolved. SBS6577P (talk) 08:48, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose on Quality. Still one CN tag. Zemin's role in developing modern China is quite large - certainly more notable than just any old leader. DarkSide830 (talk) 14:13, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support blub and RD but please wait a few hours. People are already starting to work on improving the article, with a fast pace of edits. I'm personally trying to add citations to Kuhn 2004 which seems like a respected work; hopefully the CN tags can be resolved quickly. DFlhb (talk) 14:29, 30 November 2022 (UTC) I didn't know the difference between blubs and RD, so I forgot to specify I support both; edited 23:58, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
• Comment I have been trimming down the article for a bit. It feels like multiple different people with very little knowledge of the subject has been using the article for an essay-writing practice, so I decided to be aggressive and remove a good chunk of unsourced statements. Plenty of redundant text blocks, too. Juxlos (talk) 14:48, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

  @Juxlos: I appreciate your efforts here, but unfortunately I think this has may have been a bit overzealous, for example "Beginning in 1996, Jiang began a series of reforms in the state-controlled media aimed at promoting the "core of leadership" under himself, and at the same time crushing some of his political opponents" and statements like that. If true, it sounds like the sort of thing that should be in the article, and we should concentrate on trying to find sourcing for it rather than chopping it... It's a bit of a paradox, because we want everything cited, but equally we don't usually remove material on sight without at least verifying that no obvious sourcing is available... Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 16:21, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

• Comment I've added a bunch of citations and a fair bit of detail, and with the help of other editors we've finally resolved all citation needed tags. The article is still light on details on his actual tenure; I'll start work on that. But at least there don't appear to be any obvious falsehoods. I think we're good to go. DFlhb (talk) 19:50, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

• There are at least 5 CN tags still unresolved here, so this is not yet ready to post. --Masem (t) 20:56, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

  Those were just added. I've now fixed those except for 1 (an award; couldn't find a source, but I'd support keeping it, hopefully with front-page exposure someone will be able to confirm or debunk it). DFlhb (talk) 21:31, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

• Looks good to go - thanks to DFlhb for the hard work sourcing the unsourced bits, I reckon it's good enough now. What do others think? I also think there's consensus for a blurb. Marking as ready. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 22:18, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

"Oppose one of many that have been tried and convicted for Jan 6 and certainly not the last. --Masem (t) 23:58, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Just for context "Stewart Rhodes’ conviction is the most significant to emerge from the Justice Department’s investigation of the 2021 attack on the Capitol." CT55555(talk) 00:00, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Comment Simplify the blurb. It's too long. Most readers won't have a clue who this bloke is, nor what he was charged with, so will just ignore this. Maybe something like " Stewart Rhodes found guilty of Seditious conspiracy following the January 6, 2021 United States Capitol attack." HiLo48 (talk) 00:21, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

When I first raised the idea on the talk page, I was told to make it longer...I'm happy for it to be shorter. CT55555(talk) 00:38, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Oppose. There's only one potential conviction from 1/6 that would be notable enough for ITN. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:23, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

OK. This is my first time here, so it seems like I've misjudged this. I had thought a news items on the front page of UK and US news would be a good enough indicator. Are you implying that a presidential conviction is the magnitude of what is needed to make ITN? CT55555(talk) 01:27, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Alt blurbs are welcome, I just put in a blurb which I felt was the most succinct to describe the repeal.

• Wait. It's far too early to know what the impacts will be - so far it's just a bit of lava confined to the summit, and some red skies. Mauna Loa erupts effusively, so it's possible that the increasing volumes of lava start flowing downhill over the following days, and reaches populated areas (the last eruption almost reached Hilo). But unless that happens, it doesn't have the impact necessary for ITN. As a procedural point, if this eruption becomes significant enough to merit consideration for ITN, it would have enough material to split out 2022 eruption of Mauna Loa and use that as the bold link, rather than a few sentences in the much broader Mauna Loa article. Modest Genius ^talk 17:24, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

But at least have a bloody look at this nomination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HiLo48 (talk) 23:08, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

• Well, I looked at it. Problem is, much as I think we need more women's sport in ITN ... it's not really ITN, is it? Probably because it's only the 7th time the tournament has ever taken place. As far as I can see, we're really only featuring international women's tournaments so far (apart from a random US basketball and a volleyball tournament, but they take place together). Now that's something we should probably be looking at, but at the moment I don't think a competition in one of its first iterations meets ITN standards. Black Kite (talk) 23:26, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

• Because of the nature of Australian rules football, an international championship is unlikely for a long time. This is the peak championship in the sport. Kinda like the World Series, if being international is an issue. Even if an international championship evolved, this would be the more important event for much longer still. This is the women's equivalent of the AFL Grand Final, an ITN/R event. HiLo48 (talk) 02:43, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

  ...if being international is an issue: But then we have at the top of ITNC:

  Please do not...Oppose an item solely because the event is only relating to a single country, or failing to relate to one. This applies to a high percentage of the content we post and is generally unproductive.

  —Bagumba (talk) 05:55, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

WTF? I wasn't the one who objected on the basis of it not being international. HiLo48 (talk) 06:10, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

There is international interest. Both sides have Irish players and there is considerable coverage over there. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 06:21, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I was only responding that "being international" is not supposed to be an issue, not that you originated the issue. —Bagumba (talk) 08:28, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

  The article has been nominated at GA. I'd be more inclined to add it if it came up during the review. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 06:21, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

  No worries. I'm merely suggesting what would sway my opinion for this to be posted on ITN as a quality article that might not necessarily be headline news. —Bagumba (talk) 08:37, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

I can assure the world that this HAS BEEN headline news in Australia, which is obviously enough. HiLo48 (talk) 10:39, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose. While I'm sympathetic to the desire to get more women's sport into ITN, this does not appear to be significant enough. Aussie rules football is a minority sport that doesn't merit more than one story per year, and we already post the men's event. The women's version is recently established, small, and attracts a tiny fraction of the news coverage (at least as far as I can find from Google News). If they had been held at the same time then a joint blurb might make sense; but IMO the women's event doesn't reach the bar for a blurb on its own. Modest Genius ^talk 13:46, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

The men's event is huge. Routinely attracts an audience in the stadium of over 100 thousand people. It's a whole day thing. The women's event cannot therefore be at the same time. You are therefore effectively saying you won't ever post the women's event. And Google News obviously won't show you what the coverage was like in Australia earlier this week. HiLo48 (talk) 22:05, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

I don't expect the women's event to be as big a deal as the men's, but I do think they need to be within a factor of a few of each other to be considered similarly important. It appears there's currently more than an order of magnitude gap in the media coverage, attendance, TV audience etc. Why wouldn't Google News pick up the coverage? Modest Genius ^talk 17:12, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

• Should we really be posting the championship for a semi-professional league that's not ITNR? BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:13, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

  Having more than 1 million attendees and more than 2 million viewers seems more relevant to me. Is that a lot by Australian standards? Blaylockjam10 (talk) 06:54, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

  Our article AFL Women's season seven says the average attendance this season was 2,700 per match. That's tiny. Modest Genius ^talk 19:36, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

• Notwithstanding the uncalled-for foot-stamping and screaming, support per Jayron32. Certainly warrants inclusion. And something not being ITN/R is not a reason to not post it (indeed, items can't become ITN/R without first becoming successfully posted through ITN/C).--🌈WaltCip-(talk) 17:06, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose, per Modest Genius. Just doesn't seem like something significant enough to post. League is (per our article) semi-pro, not ITNR, and only gets 2 million viewers (compare that to, say, the college football championship, which we don't post, which gets more than ten times that amount of viewers). BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:14, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

...in a country with fifteen times the population. So not much of a claim really. HiLo48 (talk) 21:13, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Still, an average attendance of just 2,700? Why is that worthy of posting? BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:26, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose Low-quality league with small attendance, it's also full of people who play multiple sports part-time. This tells you the depth and quality of competition. If people from outside Aus saw photos of the players, they would strong oppose - many of them are in terrible physical condition Bumbubookworm (talk) 00:26, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

On that basis, every article on Test cricket from before around 1980 should probably be deleted from Wikipedia. HiLo48 (talk) 09:08, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

How does that make any sense? BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:19, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Simple and well known fact. (Perhaps not in the USA.) In those days it was common for Test cricketers, especially Australians, to play other sports. And all teams tended to have some players who could not have been described as being in great physical condition, typically spin bowlers and hard hitting batsmen. HiLo48 (talk) 22:49, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

It's not true anyway. They are elite athletes and look like this. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:16, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Here's the thing - the fire doesn't have long-term notability compared to the protests, so there's no reason a separate article on it should be made. It should be part of the protest article.

Nominator's comments: Dutch concert band leader who worked in Spain for three decades, leading an award-winning band.

  How would I know? I looked for more sources, and was happy to find one (!) in English (which supported much of the prose which the former five didn't). Both Dutch and Spanish are almost Chinese to me. Images (in the sources), video, number of recordings and length of tenure tell me enough about notability which shouldn't be of much importance anyway. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:57, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Nominator's comments: First time I've ever done this. Not sure if this is how you do it. But we just had a helicopter crash close one of our major interstates during holiday traffic and two news station employees died. No one knows why it came down, witnesses just say it was in trouble. Because it was 2 news station employees killed this is all over the news right now - CNN, New York Times, Associate Press, you name it. User:EEBuchanan 03:51, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

• EEBuchanan Thank you for the nomination; I have reformatted it. Please propose a proposed "blurb" to post in the space to the right of "blurb =" in the above template, and include a link to a reliable source next to "sources =". For additional information and fields, see Template:ITN candidate. Best, Spencer^T•C 03:53, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
• Spencer Realized I messed it up as soon as I hit publish. Trying to fix but there keep being conflicting edits. I am adding my references now. EEBuchanan (talk) 04:02, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Oppose - I don't see that a small helicopter crash with such a low death toll is notable. And I see no coverage about this except locally. In recent months, we are averaging at least a helicopter crash a day, and I've never seen one ITN before. Nfitz (talk) 04:35, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Nfitz You may be right. Still, It's on CNN, New York Times, Associated Press, and some others I haven't had time to link yet. That's not exactly local. The thing is less the crash and more the fact the news company employees involved, that's why people are interested. A crash is one thing. A helicopter crashing and killing two news employees, and their colleagues having to report it on air on their own station, is a bit different/out of the ordinary. Plus a lot of interviewed witnesses are saying the pilot deliberately steered into the embankment, possibly to avoid traffic and nearby buildings - that also seems a bit unusual. EEBuchanan (talk) 04:37, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

How is not local to only one country? And surely most of the other, daily, helicopter crashes are more notable, given the circumstances under which they happen. What is internationally notable here? Nfitz (talk) 05:12, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Nfitz Fair enough. As mentioned never done this before so wasn't sure how it worked. Thanks!

EEBuchanan (talk) 05:17, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose Not quite a commercial passenger aircraft crash, it still involved a crash while people aboard the flight were doing their jobs akin to military disasters, and thus not stuff we cover. Even without that, this is a very minor event, and just because it is getting a burst of coverage now does not make it a long-term encyclopedic topic; its of very narrow scope. --Masem (t) 05:12, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

  MasemFair enough. Like I said before, never done this before (nominated one recent death but no ITN before unless it was a long time ago and I forgot) so I wasn't sure if it would go or not. Figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Comparable other updates like North Korea's defeat of Italy in the 1966 World Cup and Algeria's defeat of West Germany in the 1982 World Cup don't have standalone articles, suggesting limited long-term notability.

• Post-posting support Major significance in the event, high casualties (162 dead according to BBC), self explanatory to put it in ITN SBS6577P (talk) 23:11, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
• Comment Agreed that this was obviously going to get posted. But also see the point about the speed with which it happened. Less than an hour from the nomination with only three supports is pretty fast for what is supposed to be a consensus oriented discussion open to the community. Anywho, no harm no foul. But in general, I think we should normally not post blurbs before the ink on the nomination is dry. -Ad Orientem (talk) 03:05, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

  Disagree, per WP:BURO. If the only rationale for waiting is to avoid making people unhappy they didn't get to contribute to the discussion, then that's a non-rationale. WP:SNOW also applies to things that don't have a snowball's chance in hell of not being posted. This was posted appropriately at the time it was posted. It didn't have to wait. --Jayron32 14:13, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

  There was never any doubt that a disaster of this magnitude would meet the significance threshold. All that needed to be determined at that point was whether the article was of sufficient length and quality, and had been updated. That this was posted quickly was simply a confirmation that the boxes had been ticked. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 15:14, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support Presidential election, I would go with alternative blurb.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cherrell410 (talk • contribs) 02:29, 2022 November 20 (UTC)
• Oppose This is orange-tagged for good reason; it needs extensive copy-editing. This is a big job because the page is huge. But it doesn't actually have a section with the results, let alone prose about them. To find out what actually happened, I looked at the news coverage. There's nothing on my usual sources of BBC and NYT so I read the report on Al Jazeera which seems quite good. The incumbent won by a landslide, of course, and it's amusing that the runner-up was "against everyone".

BTW, Al Jazeera also reports how the name change of the capital to Nursultan worked out. That was nominated in 2019 but we didn't run it. Just as well, the name has recently been changed back to Astana. "It holds the Guinness World Record for the city with the most name changes."

I think its worth noting that the OSCE didn't say that it was a sham election, nor did it record instances of voter suppression (as of the time of writing) - normally if elections are not free or fair, the OSCE would at least criticise how the elections were run - however OSCE's criticism for this election has been limited to lack of transparency of media ownership and how other candidates' campaigns were similar to (and indistinguishable from) Tokayev's.

• Comment: More concise alt blurb proposed. Sandstein 14:25, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Count Iblis (talk) 14:26, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

  I do not believe that the 1.5C aspect was even on the table as a major point of discussions/negotiations. It is not our place to criticize the conference for not addressing that, and from what I've seen, its only been subjective criticism the conference didn't include that from RSes, which are things we don't include in ITN blurbs.

• Oppose I don’t think anything other than the Olympics deserves a place in ongoing. The FIFA World Cup is a tournament in a single sport featuring national teams from only 32 countries that play to win a single set of medals. Ongoing exists as a practical tool for events that may require posting multiple blurbs, and it is more suited for events with multiple disciplines and thereby multiple sets of medals awarded on a daily basis. I don’t think that any game other than the final of this tournament would merit a blurb, so it’s better to wait until it ends and post the conclusion with the winning team. I’d say that even the world championships in athletics and swimming, whose formats allow participation by almost all countries and feature major developments every day, are a better fit. This has nothing to do with popularity but with the practical use of ongoing.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 10:39, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

  The World Cup was one of the events in mind when the Ongoing aspect was proposed. Masem (t) 13:37, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

  We used to post a sticky with an Olympic summary even before Ongoing was considered. Its introduction was inspired by a sticky posted for the Arab Spring.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 13:45, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

  Support The tournament is the culmination of a competition in which 206 national teams entered. Other than Olympics most watched sporting event. Of global interest, even for those who didn’t qualify. yorkshiresky (talk) 15:46, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

  I don't think it's relevant if it's watched by 4 billion people (I watch almost every match regularly, so what?). The point is that the format of this competition is incompatible with Ongoing. Unlike the Olympics, at which there are notable events with world records in different sports that would merit a blurb every day, the matches played at this tournament are chiefly qualifying events for the final.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 17:01, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose. Sporting tournaments are ongoing by nature, but not in a manner that warrants posting as such. We'd get laughed out of the building if we proposed making the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament into an ongoing item. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 14:51, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

The NCAA basketball tournament is like a mini-league, not a single (ongoing) event, and involves mid-tier amateur athletes of one country. It's nothing alike, of course it would SNOW quickly. Kingsif (talk) 15:50, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

64 teams play 1 game, the 32 winners play 1 game, the 16 winners play 1 game, the 8 winners play 1 game, the 4 winners play 1 game, the 2 winners play 1 game, lose at any time and can't even play anymore that year. Nothing like a league. Like the knockdown stage of the World Cup tournament but 4 times more teams. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 13:57, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

The purpose of ITN is to signpost from the main page articles that people might be looking for because the subjects are in the news, I can't think this won't be highly-sought for the whole duration, not just start and end. And if true that it is a more-viewed event than the Olympics, which is of a similar duration and also global, I can only imagine opposes are because some users don't think association football is important. Kingsif (talk) 15:50, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose good faith nom. Mass shootings in the US are tragically so commonplace that posting any but the most extreme cases, with extremely high body counts, would turn ITN into an American crime blotter. -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:47, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

This was a hate crime, giving it a distinction over other mass shootings that occur with similar casualty rates. I'm also not sure how you'd define extremely high body counts. Double digits? Triple digits? 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 14:48, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

For the US? High double digits. We posted the Orlando night club shooting with near 50 killed. I think that was reasonable. Hate crime is neither here nor there. The lives lost here are no more sacred than the five people murdered last month in Raleigh NC. We are not here to promote causes, and special victims. See WP:RGW. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:00, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

I think the point is that a hate crime mass killing would raise it above the "commonplace." Pawnkingthree (talk) 15:11, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Precisely. Ad Orientem wanted to know how this was not commonplace. I gave a reason. I'm not trying to right great wrongs. I'm explaining why this is different from other mass shootings that are not considered newsworthy. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 15:15, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Hate crimes= special causes/special victims= WP:RGW. Beyond which, no motive has been established per Masem, though that is a reasonable suspicion. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:11, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

If posting a shooting at a gay club is "RGW" (and I disagree with that, I think it makes it more newsworthy in keeping with the gay- and drag-panic from the Republican Party that has played out this year, with Libs of TikTok attacking the bar after the shooting), then what should we consider lumping two different shootings with different motivations and circumstances together when we should evaluate each separate situation independently? – Muboshgu (talk) 17:18, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

I have looked at this and concluded that if we exclude promoting special causes/people, there is nothing particularly significant about this in a country where mass shootings occur with greater frequency than my stopping at a gas station. Further, the death toll in this incident appears to be on the average side for American mass shootings. The issue is not motive. Every murder has a motive and every murder is appalling. The issue is commonality. You are of course, free to disagree. Ad Orientem (talk) 17:38, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Then I guess we're at an impasse. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 14:26, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Comparing a shooting with no known motive to a shooting at an LGBT club that was scheduled to host a drag brunch tomorrow is a mistake. Not every mass shooting in the U.S. gets nominated, so we're in no risk of being overrun by these noms. We have to weigh their merits independently rather than just dismiss them if they're not "extreme". – Muboshgu (talk) 16:51, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

fwiw, motive has yet to be clearly established, though the Occum's Razor lineup of the situation would suggest that it is obviously a hate crime against the LGBTQ+ community. Masem (t) 15:13, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

The cause for pretty much every shooting rampage is the gunman's hatred for a certain group of people, be they co-workers, co-students, teachers, policemen, women, blacks, whites, Asians, Jews, Muslims, Christians etc. I fail to see how this particular shooting becomes more noteworthy, just because the victims happened to be part of the LGBTQ+ community. By US standards the death toll is not that high and this is merely one more in a litany of similar cases, so it is safe to say that it will be forgotten quickly by anyone not directly affected.

• Support. An Occam's Razor analysis of the shooting (at a queer nightclub that hosts drag brunches, on the eve of Transgender Day of Remembrance (which nobody upthread has brought up yet!)) strongly suggests that it's a hate crime.

• Oppose Hate crime, racism, anti-LGBT sentiment, terrorism, the first ever shooting on a snowy Saturday in a night club located on the top of a hill overlooking a town with an electricity blackout and many more. These shootings in the US always have something “first” that makes them significant in any way. However, this is just another shooting in a country where the right to keep and bear arms is constitutionally protected. It’s like considering a deadly car accident in a country where driving a car is legal. I don’t know what else to say. Full stop.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 21:03, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

  ... we post car crashes on occasion, and not just ones in the small handful of jurisdictions where cars are illegal. The legality of the instruments used isn't really relevant to anythng, other than to trying to make political points. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 01:52, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  Sure. We post car accidents in which a bus crashes and more than 50 people die. This isn’t that equivalent. The (il)legality is key to prevent (or at least mitigate) all this. Just call me when a law introducing gun controls will be passed and you’ve got my support. And, like it or not, this has nothing to do with politics. It’s just what it is in practice.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 06:37, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support. Mass shootings of this scale are, yes, sadly common in the U.S. But if the question is whether this is commonplace, per History of violence against LGBT people in the United States it looks like the last incident of this nature was the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting. In that case, disagreement remains whether the motive was to target gay people, but in either event, mass shootings targeting gay nightclubs in the U.S. are a) rare and b) have a resonating effect in the U.S. LGBQ community (a community larger than the populations of many countries and the fanbases of many sports), as extensively documented regarding the Orlando shooting. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 01:48, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support.

Silent-Rains (Talk) 04:24, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  I mean, 90% of the outlets you mentioned are American, so they would focus on an American mass shooting. AryKun (talk) 05:43, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  Yes, those were just the media outlets that came to my mind first (i.e major news websites). I also only listed news sites where the shooting was the top story. In many foreign media outlets, the top story is the FIFA World cup (which is in ongoing) but the shooting is still on their front pages. I have also found that this has received international attention. Here are news reports in Russian, Spanish, Newbrew, Thai, & Bulgarian. The Wikipedia article itself has versions in French, Hebrew, & Russian - meaning it has likely gotten significant attention in countries that speak those languages. Silent-Rains (talk) 05:55, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Many media outlets "foreign" to the USA customise their content for the location of the reader, so seeing this in sites like the BBC from within the USA doesn't prove much at all. HiLo48 (talk) 06:55, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

International notability doesn't have to be proven. All that needs to be proven is that the item is significant and newsworthy. No qualifiers. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 14:32, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support — Readers should be informed about this sort of mass killing typically happened in the U.S. – STSC (talk) 04:26, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support The attack took place during a commemoration of the Trans Day of Remembrance memorializing the trans people killed during the year. It was also during a drag show. Drag events have had an increase of threats and violence and children’s hospitals have faced bomb threats in the past year for providing transgender healthcare for children. I also think 25 injured is notable. -TenorTwelve (talk) 06:27, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support - no, this is not a common occurrence, and the reflexive dismissal of it as though it were should be disregarded. Mass casualty hate crimes are not common in the United States. And thats why its in the news across the world. nableezy - 07:07, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Who has decided it's right wing terrorism? HiLo48 (talk) 09:39, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

It very clearly is. It's not a high bar to pass.

It is even being investigated as a hate crime - a step further than simply being right-wing terrorism. 73.229.27.91 (talk) 16:59, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

He has been charged with 5 counts of murder, and 5 counts of 'committing a bias-motivated crime causing bodily injury'.

• Oppose Shootings seem common in Colorado Springs, let alone the entire USA – there were several reported in recent weeks. And notice that Colorado Springs shooting is a disambiguation page with numerous entries. And that's not including Columbine which is nearby. Andrew🐉(talk) 19:23, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  War in Europe is a disambiguation page, I suggest we no longer consider ethnic conflicts or just general violence in Europe for this page as it is sadly a regular occurence. nableezy - 19:50, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  War in Europe is not a disambiguation page; it's a redirect to a list. For 2022, that list just has the war in Ukraine and 2022 Corsica unrest. The latter was nominated at ITN but not posted. An even better European example is the recent 2022 Bratislava shooting – quite a similar event which was not posted at ITN. So, we see that similar low-level violence in Europe is not posted at ITN too. Q.E.D. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:46, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support per Tamzin. Occam's Razor would indicate this is a hate crime. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 12:17, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  Occam's razor is just a type of best guess but, per WP:OR, we don't do guesswork here. What the relevant guideline, WP:CRIME, says is "A living person accused of a crime is presumed not guilty unless and until the contrary is decided by a court of law." Andrew🐉(talk) 13:08, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  On ITN/C, we're forced to make a determination within 7 days (sometimes less) as to how significant an item is based on the facts available at the time. Of course, the investigation has not yet been completed, and it may take time before the shooter's intentions and motives become public knowledge. But since an ITN item becomes stale once it rolls past the 7-day mark, we have to make a judgment call, partially based on the circumstances surrounding the case. The circumstances are particularly stark in this shooting. Also, WP:BLPCRIME is not applicable here since the living person is not actually named in the nomination. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 14:25, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  Well, for comparison, the perpetrator of the Orlando nightclub shooting was actually motivated by his hatred of the United States/US imperialism, and initial speculation about his intent to target a gay nightclub was actually incorrect. We can't just "Occam's razor" our way into believing it a hate crime; Wikipedia should not engage in this kind of speculation. Endwise (talk) 16:06, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  Yep; just saw that come through the NY Times. Unfortunately, the court records related to the prosecution will be sealed, so although they are charging this as a hate crime, we won't see the actual evidence that leads them to believe they have a case. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 17:45, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  The media has done rather a thorough job to point out all the red flags the suspect has to leave little doubt why it was a hate crime. That said for here the key is that he has been formally charged with it, and while a jury may find him not guilty of the hate crime aspect, the prosecution is going into this with that assertion. Masem (t) 18:00, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  My thoughts exactly. The prosecution wouldn't press such a case if they felt they didn't have a chance of winning a conviction on those grounds, particularly if the evidence in this case is sealed. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 18:09, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose I would agree that if this is a hate crime, it would put it beyond routine mass shootings in the US. But this has not been established (charges are not it) and newer reports indicate other motivations. Considering the (fortunately) low death count and unclear motive as to the existence of a hate crime I am opposing this. Gotitbro (talk) 18:45, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose a shooting in the USA and only 5 dead? I'm sorry, is this notable because the death toll is so low? The choice of Americans to not have gun control makes this a regular occurrence - and yes, more than once a year is a regular occurrence.

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: Posted only once before for the 2013 WC (as per its ITN/C). 2017 nom went stale. Updated content found under relevant sections in the bolded article. I preferred the overview article to update/bold over individual final articles because 1) it only exists for the men's so far, 2) general article quality, 3) for the sake of tidiness in the blurb. On a side note, we might as well change the recurring item to when Australia win... Nominated by James Lewis Bedford (talk) 18:43, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support, just. The singular main article has had table updates, the non-bold links to the event tournaments have had more update (tables and lead text). As we typically post the finals, once there is an article for the women's final (wheelchair has one, too!), perhaps the "tournament" words and links can be changed to "final". Per ITN talk discussion, I am satisfied that the whole World Cup is ITN/R. Kingsif (talk) 19:04, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

  The event tournaments have no prose about the updated content as per WP:ITNCRIT (i.e. content about the finals), whilst the main article does. Final articles have both been bolded or left out at different times and there is no WP:ITNSPORTS guidance on this except that "generally, the specific event article for that year/time period is the target article in the blurb". Tennis very rarely has separate final articles and I think given the similar men/women/multiple winners in this item it works better without going overkill with the bold links. Comment by James Lewis Bedford (talk) 19:40, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

• I was going to say I had seen no prose update at the main article, but now I see it's at the top of the tournament sections. It's also more editorial in tone than I'd like. Perhaps spreading the prose through the relevant stages of each tournament, and making it "blander" for want of a better word, could help if you don't want to link finals. FWIW, I was not suggesting bolding them, just replacing the "Australia wins the men's tournament" with "Australia wins the men's final" etc., if you're just worried about bold links. Not that three bold links is more than we've had in one blurb before. Kingsif (talk) 19:46, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

• I think spreading the updated content to the relevant stage in the subsection (e.g. knockout stage) only moves anything from the top of the section to the bottom (which isn't that far apart anyway) and changes its structure from prose–>tables to prose–>tables–>prose, but I'm indifferent to it. It's not an awful lot of prose and just provides more descriptive detail about the tables that will follow. Comment by James Lewis Bedford (talk) 20:02, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support top-level international tournament. —Jonny Nixon (talk) 09:03, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose - not ready. The organisation of the article is such that when I click the section to read about the final I get see no prose at all and have to go hunting for it elsewhere. Also, the list of broadcasters table has huge swathes just marked "TBA" which should not be the case after the event has concluded. Thryduulf (talk) 19:53, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

@JamesLewisBedford01: wrote something about the organisation of the prose and not linking the finals articles instead a few comments above. Guess he'll also have some insight about the TBA's? Kingsif (talk) 01:49, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Sorry @Thryduulf, I don't follow. There is no clickable "final" subsection for the tournaments in question. There is a knock-out phase section which is the closest thing to it and just above it in the prose under the tournament headers there is prose for the final which constitutes basically the majority of the section. After checking, there are three "TBA"s out of thirteen (hardly swathes) in the broadcasting section. I'll now fix it or just remove it if there are no updates not that I think it is detrimental to the ITN/Criteria. None of these issues raised seems to effect ITN/C and are just styling/general article improvement issues that any editor may wish to quickly fix themselves. Comment by James Lewis Bedford (talk) 06:35, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

I follow the link to the bolded article, look at the TOC, see the apparently most relevant section is called "knockout stage", click on it and all I see is a table, so I scroll up and see more tables and then a block of prose about the whole competition that I have to look through to find information about the final - I shouldn't have to go hunting. It isn't a "styling" issue but an article layout issue and not being able to find prose about the finale where nearly two decades of reading Wikipedia articles has taught me to look for prose about the finals is significant enough for me to stand-by my opposition. The TBAs, while not a reason to oppose on their own, did need improving and while there may only have been three they represented by far the greatest amount of screen estate in that column. Thryduulf (talk) 12:01, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose We typically link these types of sports blurbs to a page that details the finals (e.g. 2021 Women's Rugby League World Cup Final). Currently, the finals details are strangely more in the top-level 2021 Rugby League World Cup, while that page lacks much overview of the overall tourney, aside from tables.—Bagumba (talk) 06:45, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

The metric system bureau wants to immunize against one of the unofficial ones like a "brontobyte" (brontosaurus dinosaur) and a hellabyte (a hell of a lot of bytes, "hella" is also a common slang in parts of West USA meaning "very") from becoming too popular to stop. In 2026 ~221 zettabytes (0.221 yottabytes) of data will be created so it might be a quarter ronnabytes and 2 ronnabits per year by 2046 (if technological singularity doesn't happen) so companias are going to start to want a prefix bigger than yotta soon for long-term plans. They should've picked better ones: Quetta is a city and ronna is ugly: it's a first name like Sue, it looks like 'rona (coronavirus), it doesn't look enough like the Latin or Greek for 9 that it's derived from (to ease memory, as almost anyone interested in STEM knows what the Latin and Greek words for small counting numbers mean) and they could've called it xenna- and xento- instead which would fit the memory-aiding trends better: (xennabit=1000⁹ (ennea=Greek for 9), yottabit (okto=Greek for 8), zettabit (hepta=Greek for 7), exabit (hex=Greek for 6), petabit (pente=Greek for 5), terabit (tettares=Greek for 4, teras=Greek for monster) gigabit (gigas=Greek for giant), megabit (megas=Greek for big), then some that end in the wrong vowel cause they're literally thousand, thousandth etc in Greek and Latin, then i.e. microgram (mikros=Greek for small), nanogram (nanos=Greek for dwarf), picogram (pico=Spanish for speck), femtogram (femten=Danish for 15 (10^-15)), attogram (atten=Danish for 18), zeptogram, yoctogram, xennogram (still heavier than an electron, though not by much.

Gaza fire

Article needs updating

Nominator's comments: Wide coverage, but article needs expansion. Quantum XYZ (chat) 10:58, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Support - Article needs expansion, only three paragraphs, but the event is notable. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 12:08, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose per recent talk. This seems to be a minor news item which is less prominent than numerous other current stories (Qatar, Twitter, UK budget, &c.) We should not give it undue weight just because there's a death toll. For another fire, see Iran.

Note also that this happened in Palestine but the nominating account only has 229 edits and the first supporter only has 123 edits. I'm not sure of the exact EC constraints in such cases but it's another reason for caution. See other recent talk.

Andrew🐉(talk) 13:55, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

To the best of my knowledge, ARBPIA doesn't extend to discussions external to the articles themselves, though it may be a good idea to issue the standard notice. Anarchyte (talk) 15:32, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

It would apply, but I see nothing conflict related in the article. Internal Palestinian or internal Israeli topics are not by default Arab-Israeli conflict topics. nableezy - 17:30, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Why does my edit count particularily matter in this? I based my decision off of precedent, which is that similar sized disasters have been posted before. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 16:10, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Some topics such as Israel/Palestine are restricted in this way -- see recent discussion. Andrew🐉(talk) 19:11, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

The restriction is on topics related broadly to the conflict between Israel and Palestine, not all topics related to Israel or Palestine. As there's clearly no Israel involvement here, this is just an event that relates to Palestine only and thus is not restricted by the ARBCOM case. Masem (t) 19:40, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Just one correction, it is applied to the wider Arab-Israeli conflict, of which the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a (major) component, but the rest of this is spot on. nableezy - 20:27, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

As I understand it, this fire was due to large quantities of gasoline being stored in the house. That's something that's illegal here in the UK because it's a fire hazard. The reason this is done in Gaza is because many households have to run their own generator. The reason this is done is because the electrical grid is unreliable. And that's because Israel has been keeping Gaza under siege since Hamas took over. Right? So, if it wasn't for the conflict, the fire would not have happened. So, that's a connection and the policy is so broadly construed that the article Gaza Strip, where this happened, is subject to ECP, along with Blockade of the Gaza Strip, History of the Palestinians, Governance of the Gaza Strip, &c. Q.E.D. Andrew🐉(talk) 20:32, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Again, internal Palestinian and internal Israeli topics are not related to the conflict. If you have to take that many leaps then no it is not in the ARBPIA topic area anymore than it is related to Adam and Eve. nableezy - 20:57, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

The governments of Gaza and Israel don't agree, "Officials from Hamas, the militant group that runs Gaza, pinned the blame for the deaths on Israel’s 15-year blockade imposed on the coastal enclave, which has banned the import of certain equipment and machinery, hobbling the capability of emergency responders. ... Israel’s civil administration, which controls the civilian aspects of Israel’s presence in the occupied territories, including Gaza and the West Bank, said Hamas’ accusation was an effort to evade responsibility. Rather than establishing civil and medical infrastructure in Gaza, Hamas “has invested its resources in strengthening itself militarily in order to manufacture rockets and missiles which it launches at innocent Israeli civilian populations,” the administration said in a statement."NYT Andrew🐉(talk) 08:55, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Still, I think this is a loose connection, rather than an explicit part of the conflict. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 10:34, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

For the benefit of the new editors, they should understand that the sanction is "broadly construed", which means that "if there is any plausible dispute over whether DS applies in a specific case ... that is normally taken to mean that it does". So, it's safest to assume the worst. Andrew🐉(talk) 13:50, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

I do get your point, and that this conversation is being had with good faith, but I just don't see how this article is controversial. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 17:11, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Adding an uninvolved-in-the-area comment that I also think it is clear this is not ARBPIA-related, to try to tamp out that issue so the discussion can center on support/oppose. No opinion about whether to put it in ITN or not. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:07, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

This has nothing to do with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, though? It was an isolated fire. I get why posts like these would be locked to newcomers, but I don't see how this subject is controversial in any way. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 10:33, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Don't talk about the purée!

This is Wikipedia where editors can and do argue about anything. The classic example in this context is hummus (right), which is subject to WP:ARBPIA too. Andrew🐉(talk) 14:05, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Except nobody is arguing this but you, and two uninvolved admins have both said this is not in the conflict. Its literally you saying one thing, and every other person who has commented saying the opposite. Its not in the topic, it does not have a talk page notice, it is not extended confirmed, it does not have an edit notice. You can keep bringing up other articles that have (portions) of them in the topic area, but there is wide agreement that this one is not. I believe we call that consensus on Wikipedia. nableezy - 16:12, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support once updated - This is significant enough. The answer to lack of coverage of "bad news" stories is not to stop posting those stories. The answer is to go out and nominate those other events you feel are newsworthy and meritorious. It's pointless to try and alter our general criteria based on one-off complaints, because someone is always going to find a reason to complain about something. Too much sports, too many award shows, not enough coverage of wars or disasters in other countries. --🌈WaltCip-(talk) 14:17, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

  There's an NEVENT factor here. This is a domestic fire started by the owners storing gasoline in their home. Tragic but avoidable and unlikely to lead to long-term coverage. Contrast this to the Grenfell Tower fire where the rapidness of the first was quickly pinned on how the building was constructed, and thus has had long-term effects (investigation, lawsuits, etc.) That clearly passes NEVENT. Masem (t) 16:57, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

  Fair enough, but my counter-argument is that this is an underrepresented region on ITN, and any efforts we can make at combating systemic bias is worthwhile, even if in this case it's a disaster or tragedy. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 19:45, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

  Fully agree we want to avoid systematic bias, but that should not be at the cost of accepting poor quality or less significant news items that just happen to get a burst of coverage. Not trying to evoke "don't complain about being in one country", but if this exact same event happened in the US or UK, it might get a larger burst of coverage but wouldn't be news we post due to accidental house fires being very common. Masem (t) 22:27, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose for now – Subject is promising, but the article is not of sufficient quality for ITN. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 14:18, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose. Currently, the article is a stub, so it doesn't qualify. As far as notability, I'm on the fence as to whether it warrants inclusion for ITN. Is there a reason why this is a major event rather than just a run-of-the-mill tragedy? Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:24, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

  Because it was written about in all major outlets - BBC [17], Washington Post [18], Reuters [19], Al Jazeera [20]. Kirill C1 (talk) 20:52, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

The article explains in the popular culture section why hummus is such a contentious topic. This doesn't apply here. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 16:08, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Nominator's comments: The House has now been called by AP News. Should bump this blurb back up (like we did with Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak). -- Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 00:29, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support blurb for obvious reasons. Interstellarity (talk) 00:32, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support altblurb - I have added an altblurb suggestion, leaving out the stale Senate news. Jusdafax (talk) 00:47, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
• We already gave the US Senate elections a blurb, it has since cycled off, so don't think we should repost that old news. — xaosflux ^Talk 02:13, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

• How is this any different than blurbing Truss's resignation and then bumping Sunak's ascension? Or are you saying that you think we should only blurb the news regarding the House? --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 02:16, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

  @Rockstone35 I'm just saying we shouldn't re-blurb the 2022_United_States_Senate_elections which have already been blurbed and fell off naturally due to other non-US congress related events. So perhaps one of the altblurbs is better. — xaosflux ^Talk 02:19, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

• Comment A bit surprised this was posted as is. The first section "Results" is currently very confusing, showing the Democrats having won 222 seats (ie. the results of 2020). I doubt this would have been posted as is if it was related to elections in another country.... (NB: I'm not discussing the notability - of course this should be posted asap - but a modicum of quality would be nice...) Khuft (talk) 15:21, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

  That's true. Pull for having no prose update. Howard the Duck (talk) 15:37, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

  There's yet no final count, only that the GOP got at least 217 to control the House. The rest of that information can't be filled until the remaining counts are done which could take weeks given how close some of these are. Masem (t) 01:53, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

  CNN and other outlets today announced the Republican win of the House. If the vote counting is still ongoing, this may look like an unassailable lead which we do post elsewhere. Brandmeister^talk 11:39, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

  I (can't speak for other people) am not looking for the final results. I am looking for a prose update which this article lacks. Pull. Howard the Duck (talk) 11:41, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

  What are you asking for? The second sentence provides what you're looking for. "The Republican Party won a majority of seats and will serve as the majority party in the House of Representatives in the 118th United States Congress." --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 21:56, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

  That's not an update we're accustomed to here. Pull. Howard the Duck (talk) 10:24, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

  Care to elaborate? That IS the prose update. --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 01:05, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

• Pull In addition to the issues noted above by Khuft and Howard the Duck, the results section (at the time of writing) is completely unsourced, and the only data provided is 222 seats for the Democrats in 2020, and 213 seats for the Republicans in 2020. Chrisclear (talk) 00:39, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
• Pulled as the results section has no prose and the data table is near-empty and unsourced. --PFHLai (talk) 14:22, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

  The reason the table is empty is because we still don't have final results of some elections. The prose appears earlier in the article. Masem (t) 14:33, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

• Restore immediately, one editor says pull and that trumps the consensus here and WP:ITNR? Seriously, how is this ok? nableezy - 16:16, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

  While I didn't call for a pull, quality is important even for ITNR nominations (as argued for basically every other election, most of which end up languishing in ITN purgatory). When I commented, the Results section was not just empty, it was plainly misleading, with a huge bar chart showing 222 Dem delegates and no mention that this referred to 2020. This fortunately was removed since. The page in itself is very detailed, and certainly very complete, but the one section I care about as non-American who will not dig into the individual results in, say, Oregon, I found the one section I would be interested in (Results) to be oddly lacking and uninfomative. Of course, the full results will only be known when the counting is completed, but some prose about where we currently stand would be welcome. Khuft (talk) 19:05, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

  Ive removed the table (or hidden), and added some prose. This should be restored. nableezy - 22:28, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

• Endorse pull. I didn't check thus before, but per the above, The article quality is lacking at the moment. As well as prose lacking as above, there are some dubious looking sections such as "Open seats that parties held" which don't seem that useful and uncited too. Needs some significant improvement I would say.  — Amakuru (talk) 23:37, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
• Restore immediately. I do not see any consensus for a pull. This was a bad, bad decision. The article is more than fine. --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 01:04, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support pull per Amakuru. _-_Alsor (talk) 01:49, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

What exactly needs to be added to the article. What non-subjective (eg doesnt seem that useful) criteria needs to be met? nableezy - 01:53, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

The answer is nothing. There's a different standard for American articles, apparently. --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 03:05, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

To get on ITN with the bolded link, the article needs to be well updated. A near-empty results table is not good enough, no matter if it's American or related to any other country. Having an orange tag for sourcing problems is another reason to not have this on ITN. Please fix the article. --PFHLai (talk) 03:48, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

The results are not final yet. That is why there is no results table. The news however is that the House of Representatives has a new Republican majority. That is already there. nableezy - 04:10, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

We can't add results -- they're not final yet. All we know is that the GOP will have a majority in the House. That's the important thing. There's nothing to fix on the article. This pull should really be reverted. --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 05:34, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

The wikipage is also orange-tagged for inadequate sourcing. The "Open seats that changed parties" section and the several sections after that have very few footnotes. --PFHLai (talk) 06:20, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Yes of course, because this quality of article is so clearly better than the quality of the ITN/R article that it belonged on the front page within minutes of the announced resignation of the PM of the Western world's least stable plutocracy. nableezy - 18:32, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

I don't see any difference between that article and the one that was just pulled in terms of quality. Hopefully this gets restored soon. I don't think calling the UK government a "plutocracy" helps things though. --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 21:40, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

• Comment -- Can this please be restored? The article was fine and should not have been pulled from ITN. --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 04:28, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  I see no evidence that the issues mentioned above have been resolved yet, so it can't be reposted until that's done. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 17:19, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  Sure it can, WP:CONSENSUS is a policy, WP:ITN is not. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 18:08, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  ITN operates as a de facto guideline, much like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion doesn't have any formal policy or guideline designation. —Bagumba (talk) 04:16, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

• Restore - consensus is overwhelmingly in favour of this being posted/reposted, and the opinions of a couple editors should not override said consensus. Enough of this "it's not good enough for the main page in my opinion, which outweighs the consensus to post" - Floydian ^τ _¢ 17:39, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
• The wikipage is still orange-tagged for inadequate sourcing. Please add more footnotes to the "Open seats that changed parties" section and the several sections after that. --PFHLai (talk) 22:19, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
• Can this be restored before it becomes stale? --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 22:03, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
• I removed the tag, as the sources for each empty seat is in the article on the seat. nableezy - 22:08, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

  Since when can articles get sourced through other articles? Tht is not how it works, or is it? 91.96.162.209 (talk) 10:32, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose restore Article body lacks a sourced summary of the results. There used to be this placeholder table; need either that or some equivalent. Readers should not have to go to each 50 states' individual sections to assess the high-level results. The article lead doesn't even mention the final seat count in prose, either.—Bagumba (talk) 04:12, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
  • We don't have the final seat count. All we know is that the Republicans have the majority. We won't know what the final count is for weeks. --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 05:22, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Lol, one user opposes because of an empty results table, another opposes because it lacks an empty results table. We dont have a final seat count yet, sheesh. But sure, restored the empty table. nableezy - 07:07, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

    Why not fill the table, with the leading and elected numbers - which is what I've always seen done for other countries. Or add a column for "To Come"? Nfitz (talk) 07:13, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

    But the infobox shows unsourced number of wins. Consistently inconsistent. Definitely not fit for MP yet. —Bagumba (talk) 15:56, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

    The infobox shows the current called races. The blurb is that the Republican Party has taken the house. It is absurd that we are not blurbing the general election results, even if we dont have a final count, already. We blurbed Likud winning before we knew how many seats, or coalition composition or anything. We blurb when we know the result, not when we know the final seat count. Consider me shocked, shocked I say, to see that ITN has once again proven its consistent inconsistency with respect to news about the US. Elections in wherever? Sure, no problem, race to the main page. Elections in the US? Oh deary no, cant have that, the colonies are allowed to vote? nableezy - 16:39, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

    Can't say I disagree. US elections are held to ridiculously higher standards for ITN compared to anywhere else. Not to mention that we blurbed Truss' resignation and Sunak's election and bumped the blurb up. It's incredibly annoying. But that's ITN for you, I guess.--Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 20:46, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

  • Struck my oppose, as at least there's a source in the body for the info that is in the infobox now. There is a writeup of the results, but it's still in the lead, not the body.—Bagumba (talk) 08:12, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose restore The election was weeks ago, the media were reporting a couple of weeks ago that Republicans were going to take the house. And I don't see anyone reporting anything any more. This is very stale. Nfitz (talk) 04:20, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

• It's not stale. The election was weeks ago, but the Republicans had only taken the House less than a week ago. --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 05:22, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

My understanding is they don't take to the House until January. The news reports here, about a day after the election, were clear that it was a narrow Republican victory in the house, but the Senate could go either way, based on what had already been counted. Which is when it was in the news. It's not in the news now ...perhaps even a week ago, it was still in the news - but the news has moved on. If it really wasn't clear to some media what the result was going to be weeks ago, the ITN blurb would be "election too close to call" - because that was the news story. Nfitz (talk) 07:03, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Hang on - it looks like we already blurbed the election result 10 days ago ... but only mentioned the upper house. I'm not sure why there needs to be a second blurb for lower house ... and a week after the news all but stopped. ITNR doesn't call for having two blurbs for the unusual case of counting very slowly. Nfitz (talk) 07:10, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

@Nfitz: -- We did not know who had won the House until last week, the news was quite clear that although Republicans were expected to take the House, it was unexpectedly close and there was a chance that the Democrats would retain both the House and Senate. Anyway, the reason this was blurbed is for the same reason we blurbed both the resignation of Truss and Sunak's nomination. They were not separate blurbs, but we bumped the blurb about Truss back up and added information about Sunak, which is what I had initially proposed when nominating this, but everyone said "no" for some reason. It does feel like there's a different standard for American news items vs. the rest of the world here on Wikipedia, I don't get it. --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 08:22, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Then it's too close to count, was the blurb that should have been with the rest of the election result ... when it wasn't stale. I don't see a problem with bumping. At the same time, how is it different? Looking at other nations that have simultaneous bicameral elections, I can find only one blurb - such as for Australian Senate and Australian House of Representatives in the 2022 Australian federal election. It always feels to me like there is that many here do indeed think there's a different standard for American news items. In the last week alone from the USA we've had two nominations for relatively small shootings, another for an almost entirely unreported helicopter accident that killed only a couple of people, and a nomination for the fraud conviction of someone that didn't receive widespread coverage, and almost no one has heard of. Nfitz (talk) 06:21, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

There is definitely a different standard when it comes to British politics, at least. I'm not sure how you can't see how bumping the blurb for the House is no different than than bumping the blurb for Sunak. Anyway, yes, people like to propose stories from the US to ITN that don't belong (although mass shootings are usually ITN, so you could argue they do.) That doesn't change my point that ITN often feels like UKpedia. --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 17:28, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose restore Lack of prose summary of the results, chronic problem for election articles nominated here, not specific to this nomination. Spencer^T•C 04:21, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
• Still not ready. The sections with orange tags still haven't been fixed up. Please actually resolve the problem rather than removing the tags. There is a table now, although it has a citation needed tag in it,not sure what for. Plus, as Spencer says, a short summary of results in prose would be in order. This page is already a somewhat unsightly mess of statistical trivia, but at least getting the basics in place is necessary before reposting.  — Amakuru (talk) 08:43, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Recent deaths of any person, animal or organism with a Wikipedia 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: Mexican rescue dog. Article has some references but is not fully updated yet. –FlyingAce^✈hello 00:23, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

• Weak support I'm not convinced this article isn't a stub, but it has been assessed as "start", and doesn't seem particularly stubby, so I'm going to say it's fine, and given it meets the other criteria, I'm leaning support. DecafPotato (talk) 06:26, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose. One-section article aboyt a dog. And too few words for it to be posted. Kirill C1 (talk) 12:06, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Animals are eligible for RD in exactly the same way as humans are. Thryduulf (talk) 12:28, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support clearly notable and good enough for ITN's purposes, although expansion would be good. Thryduulf (talk) 12:28, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support Not a stub, and deaths are precleared This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang (talk) 13:06, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Not Ready Needs expansion. Word count of 227 is inadequate for the main page. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:05, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Support Now adequately expanded. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:15, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

• There is no minimum word count for ITN, nor for not being a stub. Thryduulf (talk) 15:32, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  we are looking at quality items to post, and minimal size is an unwritten factor in that. Masem (t) 15:54, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  We are looking for well-written articles that are at least reasonably comprehensive and adequately sourced, not articles that are of a particular length. Thryduulf (talk) 18:44, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  (ec) But this article really is very short. If it was about a person, we would rightfully complain that it is short. Tone 15:55, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  @Thryduulf Article quality is always a criteria when considering a nomination, including RD. Over the years it has become common to reject articles that are stubs or generally short on actual text regarding the subject. IMO this article is not currently up to scratch for the main page. You are of course, free to disagree. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:12, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  Indeed, article quality is a criterion but a word limit is not a measure of article quality. Thryduulf (talk) 18:40, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose No reason for ITN to not be subject to the same 1500 bytes of readable prose minimum as its Main Page counterpart WP:DYK.—Bagumba (talk) 16:15, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  Other than a lack of consensus for that limit. Thryduulf (talk) 18:41, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose. There is one section of prose—the lead—and this is therefore a stub. While this is notable, we don't do stubs here. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 16:19, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support Not a stub (hard to see how it could be expanded much further) and meets minimum quality standards.-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 17:44, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  If it can't be extended. then it shouldn't be posted because other articles of this size were not posted. Kirill C1 (talk) 18:02, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  WP:OTHERSTUFF. What mattes is that the article is reasonably comprehensive, and how long a reasonably comprehensive article is depends on the subject. Thryduulf (talk) 18:42, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  There are some notable topics that cannot be expanded much beyond the length of a stub. This may be one of them, but a stub is a stub. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 19:25, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  If an article is sufficiently comprehensive that it can't be expanded then it isn't a stub - by definition a stub is an article deemed too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject. Thryduulf (talk) 19:32, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  I agree with Thryduulf. A short article is not necessarily a stub. I would like to know what pertinent information is missing about the life of this dog.-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 20:27, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support - I agree with Pawnkingthree's take. The article covers everything one could reasonably expect of an article on a rescue dog and is therefore not a stub, just a short article. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 20:33, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support The complaints about size are obsolete as the article is now larger than the DYK minimum and has 4 sections besides the lead. It has more prose than the latest human RD – Werner Franke (2605 > 2438 per WP:DYKCHECK). Andrew🐉(talk)

Nominator's comments: Poland is a NATO member state, and this has not only propelled its Prime Minister into an emergency meeting, but also raised concerns about a possible invocation of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty. Currently there isn't too much prose in the article itself, but the very implications behoove me to open a floor for us nonetheless. aeromachinator (talk to me here) 19:20, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Note: this nomination is covered by WP:GS/RUSUKR and is restricted to extended-confirmed accounts. Nableezy 19:58, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support Again, I don’t support blurbing every little update of the war, but this is an accidental(?) strike on an outside non-combatant country. It’s certainly highly notable in the grand scheme of the war. The Kip (talk) 19:32, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Wait Pending clarity on implications from NATO member states, which should happen quickly 47.176.81.182 (talk) 19:33, 15 November 2022 (UTC)(non-ec !vote struck)

Support Number of sources have mentioned that both Polish and US officials have confirmed it. Very significant in the war, since as Kip said, it is a (likely accidental) strike on a non-combatant. Awhahoo (talk) 19:38, 15 November 2022 (UTC)(non-ec !vote struck)

• Oppose - first there are reports that what hit Poland is the remains of a Russian missile that was shot down by Ukraine. Second, it is speculation on Article 5 being invoked. When there is something that comes of this then post. Not before. In the meantime, covered by ongoing. nableezy - 19:42, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Wait. Too soon to be sure what happened here, or how Poland & NATO will respond. It might be an accident that generates some diplomatic protests but nothing more. If so, I don't think it's ITN-worthy. If it somehow leads to Poland intervening in the war, that will be worth posting. Modest Genius ^talk 19:46, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

  Switching to oppose. Poland is now blaming the explosion on stray Ukrainian air defences [21], so there's unlikely to be any escalation of the conflict. Tragic for those involved, but a footnote to the wider war. Modest Genius ^talk 13:40, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support alt1 - Major news, self-explanatory. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Thanks ♥) 19:55, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Wait Seems quite a minor spillover so we'd need to see the consequences. There's plenty happening generally – for example, the world's biggest warship arriving in Europe. It's all part of the War in Ukraine story which we have in Ongoing. Andrew🐉(talk) 20:21, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose If it was a deliberate attack it would certainly be significant. But the reports I have seen indicate that it was accidental. Also, the article is still a stub. -- Pawnkingthree (talk) 20:30, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Wait. Not enough information yet and unclear what the ramifications will be. – Anne drew 20:33, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Wait. This is still a developing situation. However, if this becomes big enough (I personally hope not), I would vote to support this, provided that the article is well-cited. Vida0007 (talk) 20:43, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Strong Support Event has dramatic reactions online, 2 people were killed. I dont quite see how "accidental" is an oppose-consensus as 2 people are still dead regardless. PerryPerryD Talk To Me 20:58, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Because two people being killed, while tragic for their families and friends, isnt quite on the level of being on the front page of Wikipedia. Chicago, for example, has averaged two people killed a day so far this month. nableezy - 21:13, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support but wait - this has the potential to become very very bad, or it could just result in stern condemnation. We should wait a little bit rather than rushing to beat the news. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 21:01, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support -- a serious escalation that is dominating the news across the world. --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 21:33, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Wait: it's not yet clear that the missile was Russian (the BBC is reporting that it might have been an S-300, which doesn't have the range to hit Poland from Russia). --Carnildo (talk) 21:40, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• This is important. The nature of what landed in Poland is currently uncertain. Neither of the proposed blurbs as written are fully verifiable at the current time. —LukeSurl ^t c 22:05, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Wait until tomorrow's NATO meeting and further info from people speaking in official capacity. NYT etc aren't attributing blame to Russia yet. I don't think NATO/Poland/US formally have either.

• Oppose If a NATO country makes a rather large cross border attack which Turkey did in April, we also didn't post. Its not a declared war, its just a strike, not even with airplanes and troops which Turkey used und still uses in their publicly justified attacks, but for now only with missiles.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 23:25, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support Poland invoked Article 4. While it’s unlikely to escalate, I don’t think any other incident of the past 20 years has warranted this. Juxlos (talk) 00:06, 16 November 2022 (UTC).

• Article 4 was invoked by Turkey when Russia shot down a Turkish plane on the Syria-Turkey border in 2012, and again in 2015, and again in Feb 2020. nableezy - 01:17, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose Whatever happened to waiting until all of the facts are available? 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 00:13, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Wait until the NATO press conference at least. Curbon7 (talk) 00:14, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Support - This won't cause World War III, but an attack on a NATO country, if accidental, by a foreign adversary is huge news, and has been the top story of every site. This has escalated the war. I would add that it might be good to specify that the missiles were stray, as the blurb could be mistaken for saying Russian missiles directly attacked Poland, when that is likely not what happened. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 00:45, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Also omit 'Russian', as we currently do not know where the missiles came from(even if Russia is a likely source) PrecariousWorlds (talk) 00:50, 16 November 2022 (UTC)(non-ec !vote struck)

• Oppose For now this is a minor cross border military incident, of the sort that occurs from time to time in conflicts. But keeping an eye on it. If things escalate, I will reconsider. -Ad Orientem (talk) 00:48, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support but wait. Even if it was an accident, indeed this is a serious incident to a sovereignty country that isn't at war. However, I'll wait how the Polish/NATO officials will respond. Layah50♪ ( 話して～! ) 01:16, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support. I'm favorable to a blurb that stays neutral on responsibility or reason. This is news, IMO, even if accidental and regardless of who did it. I would favor a blurb that notes the strike and keeps it there until we get more news and wish to update the blurb. DarkSide830 (talk) 02:08, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

• Added and Support AltblurbII. It could probably be improved a tad, but I think this is a good blurb to go with right now. DarkSide830 (talk) 02:15, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Support although this may appear to be a minor incident, it is incidents like this that lead to some sort of conflict, even another potential world war. major escalation in the war. Editor 5426387 (talk) 02:24, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support. Notable international incident. While reliable sources generally support that Russia is responsible, I'd prefer alt blurb 2 unless there's a new development. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 02:50, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Wait to see if NATO does something. If they enter the war then I'll support, if it's just saber-rattling then I'll oppose. Banedon (talk) 02:51, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Comment @Nableezy: Could you please explain why you are unilaterally deciding to strike comments from non-EC people? Noah^Talk 03:01, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  It's because of WP:GS/RUSUKR, which outlined rules for topic such as this one. DarkSide830 (talk) 03:07, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  Maybe there should be some kind of notice here then. Noah^Talk 03:14, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  "Note: this nomination is covered by WP:GS/RUSUKR and is restricted to extended-confirmed accounts. Nableezy 19:58, 15 November 2022 (UTC)" DarkSide830 (talk) 03:38, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  Well, it clearly isn't being noticed. Maybe some kind of template would be good for discussions on pages outside the article talkpages. Noah^Talk 03:54, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  I understand your point. I was hit with it right before I hit EC ~1 month ago. Had no clue. I think it would be nice for this to be better enunciated. That isn't my area of expertise though. DarkSide830 (talk) 03:59, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  I dont have any way besides that note to do anything here, cant exactly protect the page, the edit-notice would be inapplicable to most topics, so I do what I can. nableezy - 04:09, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  Make it bold or something. Frogging101 (talk) 05:21, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose - It appears now that the objects' trajectory did not originate in Russia, according to President Biden, speaking to reporters at the G20 summit. The event does merit a mention in Ongoing, where it is currently briefly noted, and unless there is new information to consider, it is a good thing the wait !votes here, and the appropriately cautious admins, have prevailed so far. The change of the main link article title reflects that, and the initial pure support votes were, in my view, poorly thought through, though made in good faith. Jusdafax (talk) 03:44, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Wait for the NATO response. Potentially significant, but that depends on how NATO responds. Early signs (e.g. [23]) seem to this being not a deliberate targeted attack, but perhaps sort of unfortunate interception/deflection by Ukrainian AA against Russian missiles launched at targets close to the Polish-Ukrainian border. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 04:49, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose even if this was Russian, unless it was proven it was deliberate, it will almost surely have no geopolitical impact. 2A02:2F01:F206:A500:ACB9:80C1:561A:62A0 (talk) 07:47, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Wait for NATO response, per others. Doesn't change the game/elevate news item from ongoing otherwise. Kingsif (talk) 09:50, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose We have the Ongoing section for a reason, and this isn't important enough, especially as it now appears the missile was a Ukranian defence one. [24]. Black Kite (talk) 09:54, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose until NATO responds, but if a Russian-made attack occurs in Poland, it will trigger Article 5. HurricaneEdgar 13:17, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Strong oppose on the news that NATO has determined this was from a Ukraine air defense missile, and not from Russia. Reuters --Masem (t) 13:22, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  We jumped the gun by assuming this was Russian, let this be a warning to wait until all the facts are avaliable before making such a judgement. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 13:53, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

• I reaffirm my oppose !vote above, a bit more strongly this time, per Masem.--🌈WaltCip-(talk) 13:53, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose per Masem NW1223<Howl at me•My hunts> 14:33, 16 November 2022 (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: I am nominating this early to allow editors to give it a checkup. Pretty high chances it will actually launch on Nov 16 1:04 a.m. EST, and wether it goes out in a big boom or actually does launch only like 7 years late, it will make the news round.

This nomination is premature. It is impossible to assess the update to the article before the event has occurred. I think this should be closed; come back if/when it actually launches. Modest Genius ^talk 16:23, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Wait until it actually occurs. Alternatively, post the blurb exactly as it is currently written. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:25, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Stop doing this. Don't. Nominate. Articles. Early. "Giving it a checkup" now- which I'm sure interested editors were already doing without a nomination- might not have much bearing on how the article will actually look when the event happens, and it certainly won't allow anyone to judge whether or not the article should be posted on ITN. -- Kicking222 (talk) 16:33, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Comment - You're giving a fair amount of credence to the probability of the rocket exploding, which I find amusing.--🌈WaltCip-(talk) 16:33, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose. Forget waiting. Let's stop encouraging people to post noms before an event happens. Let someone post it again when it happens. DarkSide830 (talk) 17:35, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• So exciting to see people put so much energy into shutting down useful constructive discussion only hours before a major scientific event that has a pre-determined exact time and date, which actually happens at the said pre-determined time in the middle of the night when most editors are asleep. Yay wikipedia, you have outdone youself again. At this point we should only allow postings of carnages, elections and gay-marriage approvals to ITN since everything else seems to be heavily despised by the 'established' editors. 2A02:2F01:F206:A500:ACB9:80C1:561A:62A0 (talk) 07:33, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  I do feel like people really should stop nominating articles before they are ready and before the event has occurred... ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 08:06, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  Crazy as it sounds, I actually partially agree with this. Not the politics stuff, but the "shutting down useful constructive discussion" part. We should've keep this discussion running instead of archiving it like before. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 13:05, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  And a bit on the "bad news" part too... CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 13:05, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

  I completely stand by my decision to close the premature nomination. You seem to have assumed that the rocket was destined to launch that night. It wasn't. Several other attempted launches of this rocket were scrubbed in the past, and there were some early indications that it could have occurred again. And no, we do not post a news item NOW; the article needs to have qualitative updates and that needed to be confirmed first before we could go ahead with a posting. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 13:26, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support It can be posted now that the rocket has been successfully launched; very notable. Nythar (💬-🎃) 07:50, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support – Should we indicate in the blurb that this is an unmanned launch? ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 08:06, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

 Done with an altblurb and per the article infobox I have added "test flight" for clarity. I should add that for ITN purposes this term does not reduce the notability. Jusdafax (talk) 08:22, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

• Article looks good, support. It'll also be ITNR when it gets to the Moon in a week and a half; it's worth considering now whether we plan to bump/repost this then or just update the blurb. —Cryptic 08:08, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

There's some other interesting facts, such as India expected to exceed China by 2023, or that we are expected to peak around 10.5B ppl (due to reduced childbirth and impact of low-income regions) but I don't think we need much more on the blurb. Masem (t) 01:15, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support - Arbitrary milestone, yes, but this is amazing. It absolutely is a global interest story, for reasons which I'd think would be obvious!--🌈WaltCip-(talk) 01:33, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

  To put in perspective, 7B was hit in 2011, and 9B is expected ~2040-ish. This is not something we'd be posting every year. Masem (t) 01:47, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose. A notable event, but the issue here is this is a projection. Sure we can reasonably assume that we will have hit 8 billion by, say, the end of the year, but I think posting something like this with a nebulous date attached to it is not a good idea. DarkSide830 (talk) 01:59, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

  The UN is the most authorative source on this, and there is no way we will get an exact count. They specifically say their estimates have 8B crossing today, but I'm sure there's a considerable margin of error they can't reduce. Masem (t) 03:48, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

  I'm not going after the UN or anything, but the very fact that there is innately such a margin or error, even for the best source, is exactly my issue here. DarkSide830 (talk) 14:27, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

  The news isn't that the human population has exceeded 8 billion (which it may or may not have) - the news is that the UN estimates the human population has exceeded 8 billion. Chrisclear (talk) 18:00, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

  Okay. That I'm even more opposed to. DarkSide830 (talk) 18:27, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support on significance, and suggest wording it as "The UN estimates the world population to have exceeded 8B", thereby attaching the date to the UN estimate and avoiding issues of precision. Vanamonde (Talk) 04:04, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose This is DYK material. Just follow the example of Day of Seven Billion to nominate Day of Eight Billion. Last time the hook was "Did you know... that the United Nations Population Fund has designated today as the Day of Seven Billion?", so something similar should work now as well.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 08:24, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support - Humanity reaches a new milestone. Coming from the UN gives it even more relevance. Definitely for ITN.BabbaQ (talk) 08:36, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support - Huge milestone, definitely for ITN and not DYK. Might be a good idea to somehow work the Day of Eight Billion article into the blurb. Lewis Hulbert (talk) 09:21, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support - Major event for humanity. Another relevant article is at World population milestones, although someone might want to take a look at the table numbers, which have been a little funky due to reliance on decades old predictions for a while. I think some of the "time elapsed" figures are still wrong despite incremental corrections, which do not reflect the original source... 193.60.60.66 (talk) 10:03, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Support - Bit mixed on this one, but at the end of the day this is a huge milestone for humanity, if arbitrary. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 10:18, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Strong support - I don't know if we posted 7B or not, but I agree with the previous !voters that this is a huge milestone definitely worth an ITN blurb. Quantum XYZ (chat) 11:37, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

  And I'd like to note that I prefer the altblurb here, with a link to Day of Eight Billion. Quantum XYZ (chat) 11:39, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support. Per above. MSN12102001 (talk) 11:44, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose. Firstly, 8 billion is just an arbitrary number only of interest because we use the decimal system. The population is going up steadily, so hitting any particular milestone is both routine and expected. Secondly, as noted above, this is completely an estimate. The figure may have actually been reached previously or maybe hasn't yet and there's no reason to favour UN estimates over others. All in all, not a story worth including at ITN and better suited ti DYK.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:49, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

  The US census bureau estimate is still well short of 8bn.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:54, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

  Sure, if we used a base-6 system we wouldn't care about 8B, but we don't, and almost nobody does in everyday life. Quantum XYZ (chat) 12:09, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Weak support. Yes this is an arbitrary number, and yes it's only an estimate. But it's also of fundamental importance, and population growth is a topic we would never post at all if we didn't use big numbers as milestones. The world population article is mostly excellent and will interest our readers. There are currently two orange tagged sections that need addressing, though it appears those would be easy to do (or could be moved to the talk page for now). In contrast, Day of Eight Billion is barely more than a stub so should not be bold-linked. Modest Genius ^talk 12:10, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support pbp 12:44, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose arbitrary milestone, nothing particularly important about numbers that have a bunch of zeroes at the end. --Jayron32 13:00, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

  I suppose it's true that the figure of 8B only really matters within our deeply ingrained social constructs relating to numbers and decimals. But I think we ought to cast the number itself aside, and instead focus more on this interesting factoid from the article, which is not arbitrary: It took over two million years of human prehistory and history for the human population to reach one billion and only 219 years more to grow to 8 billion. The scale of population growth in the last couple of centuries has been staggeringly immense, even factoring in all of our wars and pandemics. At some point, it needs to be recognized. There's really no better time than now. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 14:02, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

  It's only surprising to people who don't understand how math works. Exponential growth is well understood, and human population has followed a largely predictable curve for centuries. The 8 billionth currently existing human is not particularly more interesting than the 7,999,999,999th person, excepting that they won the round number lottery. --Jayron32 16:58, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

  See also compound interest for similar math. It's basically saying my savings account grew faster when there was more money in it. Which is nice, but also not news. nableezy - 17:01, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose Article doesn't explain the significance, making it seem arbitrary. Lacks a sufficient update per WP:ITN:

  The decision as to when an article is updated enough is subjective, but a five-sentence update (with at minimum three references, not counting duplicates) is generally more than sufficient, while a one-sentence update is highly questionable.

  —Bagumba (talk) 13:15, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose per Bagumba. The substance of the update is the paramount purpose of ITN. GreatCaesarsGhost 13:45, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support, a very big milestone. 4me689 (talk) 14:22, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support, very large milestone! This will change sources from the 7 billion figure I have been used to for so long, important to promote this news. --Pithon314 (talk) 14:28, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Wait – I like this topic and I think it can make a great blurb. However, the World population article does not yet go in enough detail/isn't updated enough, and the Day of Eight Billion article is not ready to be featured. In particular, I would really want to see information on how the crossing of the threshold was calculated. Right now it is very unclear why it was estimated that today is the day. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 14:39, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Support Milestone in history of humanity, source seems reliable. Editor 5426387 (talk) 15:15, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support The discussion about an "arbitrary number" seems a bit silly to me. The vast majority of the world uses a decimal number system, so surely the number isn't really that arbitrary. YD407OTZ (talk) 16:07, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support. While there is merit to the argument that 8 billion is arbitrary, it has underlying cultural and political significance, and the UN estimate establishes it as an actual news story. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:22, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Pre-posting comment Even though I would personally oppose this, I was about to say there was obvious consensus to post and do it anyway. But most of the supports/opposes are addressing the notability of the topic. Few of them are addressing the quality of the article. There is currently an orange maintenance tag on the article, which has traditionally been considered a near-veto on posting. I think we can say that there is consensus that the topic can be posted, and so we need fewer comments about that, and need more comments (and fixes!) on the quality of the article. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:29, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Correction. It seems I have updated the article 2022 Slovenian presidential elections as well as the lead of Natasa Pirc Musar with the info that she won. But anyway, important is the result. Doremo updated the infobox of the Natasa Pirc Musar article and Topjur01 created the Natasa Pirc Musar article.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 20:32, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose on quality I would like to see more prose in general, in the entire article. And a section on Aftermath/Reactions is missing. The election of non-executive HoS is not ITNR, but I think that in the face of historic results such as the election of a woman as head of a country for the first time is reason enough to post it.

  I have updated the article and expanded the article with prose before your weak oppose

  "per Alsor". Now I also added a result section, (in fact just splitting the second round paragraph) provided two blurbs one with one without linking to the elections article. She won, I updated both articles. Don't know what else to do and I can accept if this is not notable enough. It seems Natasa Pirc Musar is not a Wikipedia personality as her article was declined for notability.

  Not really anything on WP:ITNSPORTS saying it has to be either or. I've seen both posted on their own many times and either of them work. I probably prefer the wider tournament article as it links to the competition that the champion won, not just their final game, and you can still navigate to the final article via it.

Nominator's comments: Finally. The Senate has been called for Democrats; should we wait for the House? Davey2116 (talk) 02:27, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

• Wait until they officially call the House, then publish. -LtNOWIS (talk) 02:30, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

I do think senate control was the big picture here, but I would at least wait a half day from now to see if the house direction looks any closer. Masem (t) 02:30, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

• The house could take days to call. I'd post the Senate now, and the House later when it's called. Elli (talk | contribs) 03:02, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
• Wait until the House is called, then use alt 2 (assuming that's how it plays out). Thebiguglyalien (talk) 03:06, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
• Wait It makes no sense to post the Senate results now and the House results later, especially when it's ITNR that this is a general election, both chambers together. We can wait. When are the official results expected to be called? I'm surprised that one of the most advanced countries in the world has been counting votes for almost a week. _-_Alsor (talk) 03:09, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

  Because you:

1. Failed to follow WP:NPOV in your blurb

3. Said something false (there was no blue wave, there was just the lack of a red wave)

Tube·of·Light 03:23, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

There was a blue wave tho, dems gained seats in the senate and will win the house as well, trump is finished 2600:100F:B100:1F76:5906:EF2A:8D24:297C (talk) 03:27, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

this is not the place for this kind of stuff so stop. _-_Alsor (talk) 03:29, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

Donald J Trump was not standing in this election, and the existence of any sort of 'wave' is a matter for political punditry, not Wikipedia headlines. GenevieveDEon (talk) 20:29, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

• Wait till both houses are called (If Nevada goes to the GOP, then just add that the senate is undecided as Georgia will have a run-off election). Tube·of·Light 03:23, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support The default assumption was that the House will go to the GOP and that the Dems were the slight favorite to retain the Senate, but the Senate could go either way. That the Dems retain control of the Senate is then nontrivial news. But the House going to the GOP is a foregone conclusion (probability of this not happening is not zero but it is extremely small), we should not wait for that to become official. Count Iblis (talk) 03:33, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

A)The GOP was the favorite to win the Senate, B) the House going to the GOP was not a foregone conclusion before the election or even today, C) The Dem chances in the House are way over zero (betting markets say about 20%), & D) no one is talking about waiting for it to be official, we follow reliable sources, who have not called the house. GreatCaesarsGhost 14:30, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support altblurb 2. The Dems win the Senate while the GOP wins the House. A split Congress so no impeachment. Shwcz (talk) 04:49, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

A GOP House would likely impeach Biden regardless of Senate control. 331dot (talk) 07:03, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

• Post. The House has not been called and is not a foregone conclusion, the Democrats have a narrow but realistic path to retaining the majority. There is no reason to wait for the House to be called(which may not be soon due to recounts) in order to post the Senate. 331dot (talk) 07:02, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support posting Senate control of the House will probably come down to California, which notoriously takes weeks to count all of its ballots. Preferably we post the Senate now and update the blurb when the House is decided. YD407OTZ (talk) 10:12, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
• Wait until we have official results as we've had enough of wishful thinking and misrepresentation. And we're an encyclopedia not news media and so there's no rush. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:33, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

We have never waited for official results/certifications/inaugurations/formalities. We follow the news. If you don't think the news should be in the business of reporting unofficial election results, take that up with them, not us. 331dot (talk) 11:55, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

• Post Senate now, and say nothing one way or the other about the House of Representatives until it's actually called. When it is, replace with a fuller blurb. (Compare, for example, Liz Truss' resignation, and how the subsequent 'election' result replaced it.) GenevieveDEon (talk) 20:29, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

  Be patient. There are only 2 or 3 admins who are active on ITN, and they have lives too. Consensus for posting the Senate was only found today. Curbon7 (talk) 05:22, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

  My apologies. I know patience is indeed a virtue. It's just a bit annoying. :-) --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 05:48, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

• Tense I looked at the Senate article and found quite a few cases of an inappropriate future tense for something that is now in the past. So, it needs copy-editing.

Another thing I noticed was that the Democrats have less seats than the Republicans – just 48 to 49. It seems that the balance is held by two Independents – Angus King and Bernie Sanders. Elsewhere, this would be called a coalition or hung parliament. This doesn't seem to be strong control by any party as, when it's so close, any Senator can cause trouble for such close votes. So blurbing a Democratic majority seems incorrect when you need 51 for a majority and they only have 48. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:05, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

King and Sanders caucus with the Democrats; a UK comparison would be the relationship between Labour and the Co-ops, basically one and the same. Curbon7 (talk) 09:24, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Just to add on to that, because the Vice President is a Democrat, she can serve as a tie breaker in the case of 50-50 votes. So, for all practical purposes, the Democrats control the Senate. YD407OTZ (talk) 09:29, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Sanders & King are essentially independents in name only. They caucus w/the Democrats & usually vote the same way as the Democrats. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 09:32, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

• The caucus mechanism seems mainly to do with allocation of seats on committees. But when it comes to party allegiance and voting, someone like Angus King seems to be his own man – "neither a Democrat nor a Republican, but an American". According to Angus_King#Political_positions, "King voted with the Democratic Party 43% of the time", which doesn't sound like consistent, dependable support. As he rejects the party label, we should not be pinning one on him. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:40, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

• A more accurate way of showing the outcome in the Senate would be to link to the Senate Democratic Caucus rather than the Democratic Party. The Senate Democratic Caucus is the formal organisation which has secured a majority. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:57, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Consider that nearly all RSes reporting on the results have stated that the Dems kept control of the Senate. You could argue that they are wrongly categorized, but between what RS say and what we know King and Sanders have done, this is a fact. Masem (t) 13:14, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

While I’m neutral WRT whether or not the Senate results should be posted now or when the House results are known, I oppose the 1st 2 alt blurbs. We shouldn’t be a crystal ball. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 09:36, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

• Marking Senate as ready per consensus. Cheers. WimePocy 13:12, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
• Comment This isn't an ITN/R item because these aren't general elections, so the nomination should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. As for notability, I think only a change in the control of one of the houses deserves attention.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 13:35, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

  Why does someone do this every time? These are absolutely general elections, both by the dictionary definition of that term and the laws used to implement them. GreatCaesarsGhost 15:26, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

• Fix blurb The current blurb is awful: "In the United States, six people are killed in a mid-air plane collision at an air show in Dallas, Texas." This spends far too much energy explaining that Dallas is in Texas which is in the United States, which most of our readership already knows. None of that it is significant. What matters is that the crash involved two WW2 aircraft and we even have an article about one of them: Texas Raiders. ITN is supposed to help readers navigate to relevant articles, not teach basic geography! Andrew🐉(talk) 21:47, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

  Closers can expect occasional heat when posting with this level of consensus, but I don't see this instance as an obvious pull either. —Bagumba (talk) 01:07, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

  Consensus can change. When posting, there were five opposes and ten supports (including nom). I found the argument of the type of aircrafts and precedent to counter the significane argument. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 14:00, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Support Lots of coverage, this type of collision is uncommon given the nature of both of these aircraft. Editor 5426387 (talk) 02:25, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

• Post-posting support although the blurb should be improved (no clue as to how, though). Quantum XYZ (chat) 15:30, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose I'm not sure how this is notable, or likely even enduring. There was some world-wide TV coverage at the time - likely more for the explosion-porn aspect of it. Vintage plane crashes were common enough pre-Covid - look at this list from just one country! Given the low death-toll, and not even any reported injuries on the ground, I don't understand the support for this - especially given how quickly it dropped out of the news cycle. Nfitz (talk) 22:23, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
• Post-posting oppose, fwiw. Almost certainly wouldn't have been posted from any other country (except possibly the UK). Dropped out of the news cycle within a day. Black Kite (talk) 22:26, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
• Post-posting oppose too, its interesting in that it doesnt often occur, but cmon 6 dead in a freak occurrence is front page worthy? nableezy - 23:51, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
• Pull per above. BilledMammal (talk) 23:54, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
• Pull. Tragic, freak accident, but not nearly on the scale of disasters that get posted to ITN. DarkSide830 (talk) 00:07, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
• I'm sympathetic to this story, as both planes are among the last of their kind that are airworthy, so I won't advocate for outright pulling, but I think more discussion time would have been valuable, as many of the original support rationales are quite weak. Curbon7 (talk) 00:50, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

  More worthy of a DYK than ITN imo. nableezy - 01:26, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Post-posting support Mid-air collisions are exceedingly rare. A mid-air collision which kills 6 people (the same number of deaths in the bombing we just posted) AND which involves two aircraft that are among the last of their type, thus attracting fairly widespread global coverage? In my eyes, that meets the threshold for ITN, and that is why a consensus initially formed to post. Flip^andFlopped ツ 15:47, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

@Andrew Davidson: Well I never said it was ITNR, just that it was posted last time, and I know you know that it's wrong to oppose something just because it isn't ITN/R (aka most things) rather than evaluate its own merits. Kingsif (talk) 12:48, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

It was marked as ITN/R, which I recognised from the green tint. Kingsif has since changed it. Andrew🐉(talk) 13:22, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

  Filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy is not the end of a company or the like, though it does imply it is in financial trouble. It's like an athlete stating they are retiring, something that can always be undone. Masem (t) 18:07, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose I don’t see any major impact that could cause a financial crisis, demand a policy response or leave millions of people decepted. A three-year old company employing 300 people with an annual revenue of $1 billion and a minor market share in its industry goes bankrupt. That’s what it is. Sorry, it’s not Arthur Andersen or Lehman Brothers.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 21:21, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Support - Although not a bank like the Lehman brothers and causing a crash to the USD, FTX was the second largest crypto exchange, and its bankruptcy of over $16billion and has had a profound effect on the entire crypto market. The recent crypto crash is a result of this and something of this caliber is likely to receive a response from the SEC on regulation. I think the shock-factor with this bankruptcy is that this company was levering funds it didn't have and that those involved in the crypto community did not think a crypto organisation of this size would become insolvent like this.

This highlights a different article than Ongoing, which is about the broader conflict. 331dot (talk) 16:36, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Not exactly a reliable source, but if something actually comes of this, I might support a blurb. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:24, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support Like nom, I don't support blurbing every progress update of the war, but this does have special geopolitical significance as Kherson was the only regional capital captured by Russian forces at any point. The Kip (talk) 16:47, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose See ongoing, It's not unexpected or unusual for territory to change hands in wars. We didnt blurb other victories/ends of battles like the fall of Mariupol either. The end of a battle dont merit a burb, the end of the war probably would. The war stories that we did blurb were blurbed for reasons that reflect a particular significance of an event in a historical context. (bucha warcrimes, and the Moskva being the worst loss the Russian Navy has suffered since WWII) ✨  4 🧚‍♂am KING  17:08, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

This is historically significant, the recapture of the only captured regional capital. I haven't understood the general resistance to posting things here that's developed in recent years. What are we afraid of? 331dot (talk) 18:00, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Donetsk and Luhansk city say hi. It's not the only captured regional capital under Russian control, even if not recently captured. In terms of significance, I would argue the defeat in Kharkiv and retreat of Kyiv are just as significant; as was the fall of Mariupol being Ukraine's last holdout on the Sea of Azov but we didn't blurb those, since at the core they just represent conclusions of smaller battles in a bigger war which is covered in ongoing; Kherson isn't even fully liberated since most of the land of the Oblast is on the other side of the Dnieper. ✨  4 🧚‍♂am KING  18:52, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

4iamking You'll want to tell the BBC that, that's where I got that claim, and it's in their headline right now. 331dot (talk) 19:04, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

BBC's headline can be whatever, 1 source doesn't dictate reality necessarily. BBC's headline has the caveat "since the war began" which is more accurate, But it certainly isn't the only controlled territorial capital. Even Sievierodonetsk which was the de-facto Ukrainian capital of Luhansk before the war is captured. Im not denying that its a major victory for 1 waring party and a defeat for the other, but there are lots of those occurrences in this war, and they need not all be blurbed, since thats why it is in ongoing; else we'd be doing in on a monthly basis. ✨  4 🧚‍♂am KING  19:12, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose covered by ongoing, not an indication of a key event of the war. --Masem (t) 18:55, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

The BBC says "Today was a hugely consequential moment in a war now in its ninth month". So if it's not a key event, they need to fire their journalists and start over. 331dot (talk) 19:06, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

  I mean technically there is a Russian military presence west of the Dnieper.... in Smolensk, but I'll see myself out. I still don't the end of this battle is any more significant to get blurbed from the end of every other battle in this war that never made the cut.. Russia ceded far less land back than they did when they withdrew from either Kharkiv or Kyiv this time around. ✨  4 🧚‍♂am KING  22:31, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

  where was this decision? clearly not the case since other war related developments have been posted; the blurbs we haven't had so far are the "belligerent x captures y"; which is basically what this is. ✨  4 🧚‍♂am KING  00:36, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose - Important event, but this is covered by ongoing. There wasn't war in Crimea when Ukraine bombed the bridge, so we blurbed that. Quantum XYZ (chat) 06:12, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Russia occupies Crimea, and Ukraine has long stated its intentions to both reclaim it and destroy the bridge. 331dot (talk) 09:47, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Also there was long series of destroyed military targets in Crimea long before Kerch Bridge explosion. So arguing there "wasn't war in Crimea" seams like uninformed opinion to me.--Jenda H. (talk) 16:06, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Leaning Support - Pretty split on this one, but we posted the Crimean Bridge explosion, and this is a much larger development in the war, possibly the largest in the last 6 months. Could have big consequences. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 09:40, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose On-going. I would rather see a blurb when the war ends. – robertsky (talk) 18:36, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

  Just to elaborate on my oppose. I have not followed the pace of the war blow by blow, nor being an arm-chair general/amateur war analyst pouring over OSINT, but the fight definitely isn't over on both sides, the lines may change again for one reason or another. Hence, until the war is over in either side's favour or some other events giving the fight a long pause (i.e. North Korea vs South Korea who are still technically at war but under a long time truce), I don't think we should post such news up (like I didn't think, and still do not, that it was appropriate to post the Crimean bridge explosion). (WP:CRYSTAL here, and who knows that we be slapped in our face if there's a sudden surge somewhere somehow on the Russian side reversing the capture.) – robertsky (talk) 07:50, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support. Significant geopolitical event. The citation for the withdrawal used the deprecated parenthetical format, but I've reformatted it. There are some proseline issues, but not enough to disqualify it. POV issues should also be looked into (as is often the case, the criticism section presents serious POV concerns). I prefer the first blurb. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:14, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
• If this is now past tense the article needs a few edits to achieve this.

• Comment: Article could use a little more information about the end of this operation. The sentence just prior to the one announcing the end of the operation in the article seems to suggest that there are still French troops there, and that the operation is being reformulated, so this could use a little more clarification.

• Comment: I see this marked as "ready" but not seeing the level of expansion for this to be ready IMO. I did leave a comment above stating that more clarification is needed, so will leave to another admin to assess. At present, all the article has for the past 3 months is: French forces completed their withdrawal from Mali on 15 August.[13] The French military stated that 3,000 troops will remain in the Sahel region as part of Operation Barkhane and added that it was not ending, but being reformulated.[14] However on November 9, Macron announced the end of Operation Barkhane and stated that some French troops will remain in the region under new arrangements.

• Comment: It's unclear whether the blockade has actually ended or if this is just an announcement. If the situation is resolved, then I definitely support. If this is just an announcement, then I say wait until something changes on the ground. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:15, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

@Thebiguglyalien: According to the CNN article linked above, "Haiti National Police spokesperson Gary Desrosiers also confirmed that the Varreux terminal is now under police control. The terminal, located in southwest Port-au-Prince, supplies most of the oil in Haiti. It has been blocked by G9 gang members for the past six weeks, choking off access to fuel in the country. G9 abandoned Varreux terminal over the weekend, one high-level security source told CNN." Reuters and BBC News also report that Haitian police have taken control of the terminal, with the former making note of drone images that appear to show that access to the terminal's entrance is now clear. —Matthew - (talk) 09:14, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

• I'm pleased to see there are prose paragraphs summarising every race, however those are all based on the official NASCAR.com reports which are not an independent source. Could some citations be added to reports in independent media? Some of the writing is clunky - lots of short sentences and ungrammatical phrases like 'got into the wall' - so could do with a careful copyedit.

• Strong oppose Far below the highest levels of 4-wheeled motorsport. Yes I noticed it is ITN/R, but I don't think it should be Bumbubookworm (talk) 09:22, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

  The NASCAR Cup Series is literally the "highest level of professional competition" in NASCAR (NASCAR#National_series). What are you talking about? Curbon7 (talk) 09:58, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

  The objection was to this not being among the highest level of "4-wheeled motorsport" which is a lot broader than just NASCAR so your response while true does not rebut the claim. Looking at the Motorsport article it seem useful to treat the three major divisions of four-wheel racing (open-wheel, on-road closed-wheel and off-road closed-wheel) independently as there is no reliable way to do otherwise given the vast differences between them. NASCAR is unquestionably both the top US-based series and one of the top worldwide series of on-road closed-wheel racing - indeed it is arguable that NASCAR is the highest level of on-road closed wheel racing in the world. Regardless of this though, James Lewis Bedford below rightly points out that whatever the veracity of the claim, it is irrelevant. Thryduulf (talk) 16:50, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Nominator's comments: Add 2022 Azadi March-II to ongoing. This is a 'political revolution' in Pakistan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ImprovetheArabicUnicode (talk contribs) 16:09, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose Article is a stub and around half of it is a summary of the assassination attempt, which we've already covered. The Kip (talk) 01:18, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose Article quality is poor, very little information on the event itself, which means it does not convey the importance or notability of the event. Most of it is from another article which was already nominated and posted. Abcmaxx (talk) 08:16, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose Contrary to the nomination statement, this appears to be a political campaign rather than a revolution. Lots of countries have active political campaigns at present, and I am not convinced that this is particularly out of the ordinary. If it leads to a change in national leadership, then it deserves a mention in the blurb for that. GenevieveDEon (talk) 13:26, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

  Mahsa Amini protests? Curbon7 (talk) 18:15, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

  Bit of a difference between the mass-scale violence we're seeing between the Iranian government and protestors versus what appears to be a mostly peaceful, fairly limited march. The Kip (talk) 18:17, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

  The protests in Pakistan have turned deadly. ImprovetheArabicUnicode (talk) 22:35, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

  1. The figure of 4 protestor deaths in the article is wholly uncited. The only cited death is that of a journalist, which was already established as accidental rather than violent. One can likewise be attributed to the assassination attempt, but that's still three unaccounted for.

  2. Even if that is the genuine figure, over 300 people (by conservative estimates) have been killed in Iran, versus four in the Azadi March. Not to invoke WP:MINIMUMDEATHS, but that’s not even remotely comparable. The Kip (talk) 02:58, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

  Imran Khan also said they will siege Islamabad, which might turn notable. ImprovetheArabicUnicode (talk) 03:11, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

  WP:CRYSTALBALL. The Kip (talk) 03:40, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

  • Comment - The attendance was at the stadium's capacity. SounderBruce 19:23, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

    Understandable, but this simply means the league isn't taken seriously enough by its organizers or developers (or the interest isn't there). For reference, the 2022 Belgian Cup Final (a second-tier competition in Belgium considering the top league is, as common in Europe, points-based) drew 42,500 spectators. The MLS Cup final is supposed to be the pinnacle of soccer in the USA, yet barely reaches half this number. Perhaps interest will develop in the future, and we can consider it. However, the leagues we currently post (Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga) are far, far bigger than the Belgian cup. YD407OTZ (talk) 23:00, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Regardless, the quality is far below the big European domestic leagues and is similar in quality to second-tier competitions in the big European countries. It would be worse quality than the medium-level European leagues eg France, Russia, Netherlands and Portugal also Bumbubookworm (talk) 21:52, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose. The following should be probably be clarified for North American editors (which is the major reason why it fails to regularly gain consensus on either ITN or ITNR): Unlike the "big four" major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada, MLS is not the world's top men's professional league in its sport like the NFL (for American football), MLB (for baseball), NBA (for basketball) and NHL (for ice hockey) are. MLS falls below Premier League, La Liga, and Bundesliga in terms of featuring the world's top association football players. ITN should not post every single domestic association football league around the world. Zzyzx11 (talk) 17:17, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Blurbing is a little more complicated than that. It's not a case of Angola vs Malta. And just being a head of state/government, etc. may not be enough.

Interest rate rises

Template:ITN candidate

  A recession being listed as ongoing? I don't think we should for the same reason why we don't list Climate Change as ongoing. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 17:37, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose blurb per Andrew. I'd consider supporting this as an ongoing item, but not as a blurb when this has been going on for a while. Quantum XYZ (talk) 14:01, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose blurb but support ongoing for the inflation surge as a global story when the article is improved. Central banks started increasing interest rates earlier this year, but it's now that they reach the historical highs over the past 15 years. I don't think this is worth posting given that they've already announced further increases in the period to come. As an economist, I'd like to see more economic news in ITN, but the main problem is that the articles documenting economic stories are not in a format to receive regular updates. However, the inflation surge is a perfect example for a developing economic story affecting the whole world that should be posted onto ongoing.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 14:19, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose on quality an article about "worldwide" inflation surge that mainly talks about inflation in the United States is an insult to intelligence. Andrew's idea of nominating it for Ongoing does not displease me. _-_Alsor (talk) 14:28, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support for Ongoing Article is not as imbalanced as the above user pretends it to be. It has sizable sections discussing impacts in many regions of the world. It isn't perfect, but the coverage is broad enough to avoid the sort of bias that Alsor says (incorrectly) that exists. Certainly, more improvement is invited, but it passes the minimum quality standards for the main page. Otherwise, it meets all of the requirements for ongoing. 1) it lacks a single blurbable headline 2) it is a longer term item that doesn't fit neatly into the standard ITN cycle timeframe and 3) It is receiving frequent, timely, and relevant updates. Seems like a perfect ongoing target. --Jayron32 14:36, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

  How is it not unbalanced? More than half of the article is about the United States. How can it not be unbalanced if there's only one section (as if it were "something extra") talking about the regional impact and only a few lines in the first three sections narrating very briefly the situation in the Eurozone, Saudi Arabia or Germany? _-_Alsor (talk) 15:47, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

• Ongoing Is the way to go with this since this has been happening for a while. Noah^Talk 14:47, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
• Comment: I do think this would make an interesting story for Ongoing, but isn't suitable for a blurb. However the article is heavily slanted towards the US - almost all the background section discusses events there, with other countries mentioned only as afterthoughts. Other parts of it haven't been updated with the latest news e.g. the UK interest rate rise. These are certainly fixable problems, but the article needs work before being postable. Modest Genius ^talk 14:54, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

When the inevitable recession is announced after Q4 earnings are posted mid-January? - Floydian ^τ _¢ 15:33, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

That's very country-specific. Some economies are already in recession, while others are unlikely to enter one. Modest Genius ^talk 12:12, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose both blurb and ongoing like hurricane seasons, market changes are very difficult stories for ITN to cover as there is no clear start or end. Banks moving to shift interest rates is a sign of recession, but there is no clear point where this will become dire. I would also agree this is more a US issue and less global; it is not like past country money collapses. --Masem (t) 15:02, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
• Blurb either doesn't seem to be covered in the article, or it is largely stale, as the article doesn't mention interest rises in October or November this year. That being said, the article does look like it's actively being updated (October and November are frequently mentioned), so it is appropriate for Ongoing. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 15:15, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose both blurb and ongoing per Masem particularly on account of the undefined nature of the issue. Also not a blurbable event, IMO, because the subject has no article and the blurb regards several separate events. Just too amorphous a situation to be ITN IMO.

• Wait until the issues in the article have been addressed (specifically in the first section). Once that is addressed, I would vote support to put this in the ongoing section but oppose the blurb. This is not blurb-worthy but notable enough to be considered as an ongoing event. While the inflation surge began last year, it looks like it only reached its peak this year and it is only now that the world economies are experiencing the full brunt of the surge.

  Demonstrably not true; this has been updated in the past 5 days, much of which is relevant to data and events as late as the end of October. --Jayron32 13:15, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

  I'll be honest, looking at the diff comparison, I'm still not seeing substantial updates. There's a couple sentences here and there about individual rate hikes, without significant other depth/detail. Other additions such as 2 sentences about the rate of inflation in Africa describes inflation rates from August. The additions about Big Oil appear to cover information from June and July, with one sentence about US President Biden threatening companies in late October. To me, doesn't meet the threshold of regular updating needed for an Ongoing article, but I understand that others may feel differently. Spencer^T•C 02:13, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

• Comment - I wasn't sure how to link this event to article content. 2021–2022 inflation surge is the underlying issue, but the specific event would have to be something like Fall 2022 interest rate rises (which is never going to exist) or something like History of Federal Open Market Committee actions which is dull and country specific. Unless someone has a better idea? --LukeSurl ^t c 10:15, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

I don't think we need a separate article for the interest rates increase because the real developing story is the inflation surge around the world. If this gets posted onto ongoing, it will be the galloping inflation, not the rising interest rates (that's just a normal policy response during episodes of high inflation).--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 11:02, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Support Ongoing, no comment on blurb - Small note to disclose I have made several edits to the 2021-2022 surge article, which seems to need continuous work. The outlook and forecast for global inflation is 8.8%, while previous relative peaks were 2008 with its US subprime crisis and 1994, another financial crisis. US Federal rate is also spiking, which is not normal. As a note to some other comments, inflation is not US-specific (although it is clearly responsible for global inflation), and the Eurozone is a massive land/population area. Asia is also seeing increased inflation though arguably to less alarming levels. The are crisis-ridden areas with extreme inflation but they are probably not part of the global inflation trend. Xenmorpha (talk) 12:17, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

• Comment In case this gets consensus for posting onto ongoing, which now seems very likely, it's important to note that the article has a long way to go in terms of quality. Firstly, the background section is incomplete and heavily focuses on events in the United States, yet the inflation surge is significantly more pronounced and the prospects are worse for Europe. This section would benefit from a clean-up and adding international context. Secondly, the section on the disagreement amongst economists regarding the nature of the inflation should go at the end of the article. Thirdly, the section on the impact of the invasion contains some dubious content. The sentence Template:Tq reflects an outdated belief and should be removed. Fourthly, the regional impacts section is incomplete, unbalanced and lacks a better structure. In the sub-section on Europe, the Netherlands and France are singled out for no reason. There's nothing about China and Japan even though the latter, which has been known as a low-inflation country, recorded its highest inflation for years. Fifthly, the article lacks a section summarising the policy responses across regions and countries. Policy rate increases by central banks and support packages by governments should go there. I know this is something that should end up on the article's talk page, but I deliberately post it here in order to prevent premature posting.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 14:34, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Perhaps it will hold on the ground, perhaps it won't, but that won't necessarily become clear for some time, and this is clearly in the news now and encyclopedic. Obviously it would be better if there were an article on the deal itself, but the main war article will do for starters.

• Comment There's no need to wait for the formation of a government. The elections themselves are ITNR. Although it's necessary for the "Results" section to have prose. _-_Alsor (talk) 11:40, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support Just write "87 seat", as the remaining seats are technically from regionalist parties with more nuanced political ideas. complainer 11:43, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

  Comment The media considers those three parties to be part of the red bloc. Gust Justice (talk) 14:37, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

  Comment Maybe we should stick to the alternative blurb... complainer 16:20, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support. Suggested altblurb2 replacing "a majority of the seats" with "a majority by one seat". This is unusual, interesting, and only requires one defector to change. PrimeHunter (talk) 17:05, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
• Comment: ITN has always avoided putting numerical results in election blurbs, same as scorelines in sport blurbs. Just say 'wins a majority' without specifying how big it is or how many seats are involved. Modest Genius ^talk 17:13, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

  Can we compromise with "narrow majority"? The narrowness has been well-noted in RS. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 17:19, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

• Comment Note also that Frederiksen is attempting to form a big-tent coalition instead of relying on left bloc support, so stating that the left bloc won a majority may be misleading. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 17:39, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

  The threat of a left bloc majority gives her a large leverage towards centre-right parties joining a possible coalition so it would still be very important even if such a coalition is formed. PrimeHunter (talk) 18:03, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

  Comment They won a majority regardless of what she does with it. complainer 18:25, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

  Comment It's not misleading. It's what reliable sources are saying. We obviously shouldn't conclude on what the government will look like, but simply saying the red bloc has won a majority of seats is true. Gust Justice (talk) 22:51, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

• Wait. No real issue waiting a little to see if there is more word on if this coalition will stick or if it will be expanded. It means more, IMO, for us to post about the bloc if it is indeed the one that sticks. DarkSide830 (talk) 01:22, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

  Does not appear that negotiations will end soon. Thus, I am switching to support. Additionally, I added that Frederiksen is the PM, which was noted in prior blurbs (may confuse readers as to what she is the incumbent of). Thus, I support AltIII. DarkSide830 (talk) 14:27, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support ALT1 No need to wait until the formation of a government. Article appears fine, wish there was prose in the Results section. Curbon7 (talk) 03:56, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
• Support ALT1 Ready to go. Also, the Israeli election – which also had a similar result (a majority for a particular block) and was held on the same day as this one – was already posted, so I do not see any issue here. Vida0007 (talk) 19:48, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
• It will not be posted in MP as long as there's no prose in the results section. _-_Alsor (talk) 18:42, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose. In addition to the unsourced awards noted above, there is missing citation in the prose (I've just tagged it) and the media appearances section has lots of 1-2 sentence paragraphs that could do with being reformed into proper prose. Thryduulf (talk) 01:41, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

  The article currently says that "her writing gave New Yorkers a new way to think about dining out" and that she was fired after 40 years. Those are bold/contentious claims that absolutely have to be cited before this can be posted. Pawnkingthree (talk) 22:08, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose for now due to article quality. As it stands, the four sentences in the "Biography" section are the only biographical sentences in the article. The rest of it is about her notable book, not her. This needs more biographical detail and better integration. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:34, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Weak support based on the improvement. Would be better to further balance it out as it's still a bit heavy on the Julie/Julia, but I wouldn't make a federal case out of it. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:59, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
• Comment the biographical parts of the article have been expanded since the above comment, I think there is enough there now for RD but the sole sentence in the film section is unsourced (I've tagged it) so it's not ready yet. Thryduulf (talk) 00:30, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose. The article seems to have been expanded since the previous comments with quite a bit unsourced, including an explicit CN tag. Thryduulf (talk) 12:55, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

  That can all be deleted if unsourced per WP:BURDEN - Floydian ^τ _¢ 13:25, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

  Can be, but much better to give a little bit of time to allow it to be sourced before rushing to remove information. There's another six days before this is stale. Thryduulf (talk) 13:38, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

  • There are three uncited statements in the career section - Template:Tpq is simple maths for the date and that he died in Houston is well sourced elsewhere in the article so that's nothing to worry about, and Template:Tpq shouldn't need a citation either. Template:Tpq does need a reference but it should be very east to verify. Fix that and it's good to go. Thryduulf (talk) 00:37, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
