Candidates
[edit]We have an entire article listing candidates. It's not clear to me how duplicating this & adding bio details of non-notable people is an improvement. Doesn't take up too much space with only 5 electorates in Tasmania, but will become huge in the larger states. The main reason I have undone the edits by @Devonian Wombat: however is that it breaks the excerpt of the articles at the division pages, eg Division of Bass and results pages, eg Electoral results for the Division of Bass. --Find bruce (talk) 03:58, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Find bruce:, including basic biographical candidate information is a commonly accepted practice for other elections. See 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois as just one of literally thousands of examples. Generally, this is used as a way for readers to quantify candidates who may not be notable, such as an Independent candidate being a local councillor of some sort, for example. Including additional information is also a way to prevent articles from becoming lists of nothing but statistics. Article excerpts were a problem I did not foresee, but they could be easily fixed.

- If you want to make a significant change to what information is included & where, this is something that should be discussed. I would suggest raising it as a RfC at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian politics Find bruce (talk) 04:52, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- I mean, that's why WP:BRD exists I suppose. Devonian Wombat (talk) 05:54, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
