Shouldn't this article be called "List of political appointments by Donald Trump" rather than just "political appointments by Donald Trump". Right now its inconsistent with the Biden one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_appointments_by_Joe_Biden vs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_appointments_by_Donald_Trump is bad form. someone who knows how to rename (or has the authority to rename) the article should fix this — Preceding unsigned comment added by Monziguazini (talkcontribs) 15:35, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Non-political appointees

[edit]

Asinine to list the inspector general of the NSA but not the director. Change the damn title of the article I can't work under these conditions. No we will not list EVERY single civilian military appointment signed off to by Trump as someone else suggested, just the MAJOR ones. This article will continue to feel lacking until the debate is settled once and for all. Change the title to 'cabinet appointments by Trump' and move on. I'm tired of this back and forth.

Requested move 7 November 2024

[edit]

– Opening this discussion to discuss a good page name for these pages. As Trump has won a 2nd term, many of his existing presidential pages have been moved to "first ___ " (e.g. First cabinet of Donald Trump, First presidential transition of Donald Trump). Don't think that verbiage works well here, but asking for input for a good naming scheme. Also, feel free to add other pages that should be moved, as Trump is likely to have a new set of appointees, etc, during his 2nd term. Natg 19 (talk) 00:58, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wait: Trump has not appointed anyone to such positions in a second term yet, so there is no ambiguity as far as I know. Once there is a need, the suggested titles seem appropriate. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 04:09, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wait and oppose - Too soon, as it stands now. I'm also not very in love with the phrasing of "in his first term", it's a little too much like a complete sentence to be a title. I'd personally prefer keeping appointments from both of his presidencies in one article, perhaps splitting off List of cabinet appointments by Donald Trump from Political appointments by Donald Trump, and converting that to Lists of political appointments by Donald Trump. But that's just my personal opinion as it stands now. estar8806 (talk) 05:29, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The closest thing we have for a precedent is related articles to Grover Cleveland. We have just one article, List of federal judges appointed by Grover Cleveland, for all judges appointed during both of his terms. Though of course Cleveland's presidencies are significantly less well-documented than either of Trump's will prove to be. estar8806 (talk) 05:33, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with doing it the Cleveland way for judges, as that article is likely to remain small. (I've already created subsections for 2nd term there.) However, this page is already 210,000+ bytes, and if both terms are included here, it will be almost double that size and be very unwieldy. It is unlikely that Trump keeps many of the same cabinet or staff members as in 2016. As to the first point, I am willing to change the title away from "in his first term" but just wanted to throw out a suggestion. Natg 19 (talk) 06:38, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because the page is swamped with tables filled with images of agency logos and picture of low level apparatchiks. Also, much of this was never updated. All of these people have since left office but there's missing information on when they took office. Killuminator (talk) 12:07, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. I feel that that would make the article way too long as Natg 19 mentioned. Having separate pages representing Trump appointments during his first and second term is a good idea. Not opposed to the phrasing Natg 19 laid out too as well. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 06:47, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wait it is too soon, and there isn't a formal list of appointments yet, but its not a bad idea to start talking about how to handle it when this does become a need. I think the "in his first term" is too verbose, and initially would favor simply including the second term appointment in with the first, but as already pointed out, the current "first term" articles are already quite unweidly as they are, and adding another 30-50% more would make them even longer. However if they were to be removed of all of the imagery, like Cleveland was, then it might make them more manageable. TiggerJay(talk) 01:48, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. As currently conceived, this article only covers appointees current as of the end of Trump's first term, so theoretically all the positions would simply be replaced with the new appointees, and there's no need for a new article. If we were to construct a new article containing the entire history of appointees in each position (like List of political appointments by Joe Biden), we'd probably want two separate articles for each term.
