Possible article expansion

Resolved

@Star Mississippi: If Wilson wins, how is article protection lifted? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 05:16, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, thanks User:PortlandSaint for starting this entry. I've created stubs for newly elected council members, if you're interested in helping to expand. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:09, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're an established editor. If he wins, please ping me and I'll unprotect since factors different than at the time of close. Caveat, I'll be mostly offline through the weekend so if I don't respond, consider this my OK for another admin to take action if they agree. Star Mississippi 02:01, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Star Mississippi

"Keith Wilson will be Portland’s next mayor"

---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:33, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have unprotected it now based on this. Steven Walling • talk 04:01, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 04:08, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Steven Walling and @Another Believer for initially flagging. Not watching the article but please let me know if anything further needed. Star Mississippi 13:28, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move?

Should we move it from the current parenthetical "(businessman)" that he's more officially a politician? Looking at Keith Wilson disambig there are other politicians, so safest might be "(Oregon politician)" but there's also his full name as an option. Not sure what the style guide suggests on this topic. Steven Walling • talk 04:16, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Political outsider"

Wilson seems to be referred to as a "political outsider" often. Should the article say this, too? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:50, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I think so. He never held elected office until he won the mayoral campaign. Steven Walling • talk 06:22, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
