I would not say that Rose was the face of baseball. However, I would be willing to support a blurb as he does have the most hits (a record unlikely to be broken). Unfortunately, I am doubtful that a blurb is happening, as he is not a Pele or a Maradona. Natg 19 (talk) 18:31, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not ready: a few CN tags. Once article is of good quality, support RD (major figure in a major sport), but oppose blurb.

Oppose blurb. Not that much famous or transformative. BilboBeggins (talk) 21:07, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is an interesting situation, because Rose is 100% worthy of the HOF based on his baseball accomplishments. But he has been denied entry due to gambling and was "banned" from baseball. Natg 19 (talk) 15:43, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Posted) Israel launches a ground operation in Lebanon

[edit]
Article: 2024 invasion of Lebanon (talk · history · tag)
Blurb: ​ Israel launches a ground invasion of Lebanon aimed to clear Hezbollah's border infrastructure. (Post)
Alternative blurb: ​ Israel launches a cross-border ground operation in Lebanon aimed to clear Hezbollah's border infrastructure.
Alternative blurb II: ​ Israel launches a ground invasion of Lebanon as part of the current Israel–Hezbollah conflict

Yet another escalation to Israel's war against Hezbollah. Not sure if "invasion" or "operation" is correct here, so I added both as altblurbs. Article isn't up to ITN levels yet. GeorgeMemulous (talk) 21:21, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This was added to ongoing several days ago, listed as Israel–Hezbollah conflict. Natg 19 (talk) 22:49, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I think its reasonable to say that this invasion/operation is covered by ongoing Hungry403 (talk) 02:12, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No more reasonable than to say the same about Hassan Nasrallah's featured and connected murder; once combined, they can roll off together and whatever happens afterward can remain Ongoing (unless it's bigger, maybe). InedibleHulk (talk) 03:21, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment With respect, "It's covered by ongoing" is not, without more, a useful contribution to this notability discussion. There is no ITNC rule which states that the two are mutually exclusive and there are obviously some circumstances where a blurb for a major development within an ongoing conflict is necessary. IMHO, future discussion should address the actual substance of whether it is a sufficiently notable development to merit a blurb.
As for my personal view, I would wait and then support for accuracy - if the scale of the incursions is as big as initial reports, this is one of the most geopolitical notable events of the decade and marks a major spread of active boots on the ground warfare in the Middle East. The article is not there yet though and that is owing in part to the situation still rapidly evolving/literally under way overnight as we speak. FlipandFlopped ツ 04:06, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - This is basically the biggest development in the conflict since October 7th, even with ongoing this is a major development that is notable enough to be blurbed. The ongoing item should probably be renamed to something like 'Israeli invasion of Lebanon' (maybe rephrase somehow to reflect Hezbollah being the main target rather than Lebanon itself). PrecariousWorlds (talk) 08:27, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom and above. TyphoonAmpil [citation needed] 09:07, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support alternative blurb II. We really shouldn't be putting Netanyahu's POV so explicitly on our main page. Netanyahu claims this is a "limited ground operation", similar to how Putin claims the invasion of Ukraine was "a special operation". Let's not take sides and just state the facts.VR (Please ping on reply) 09:56, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can an admin WP:SNOW move the article before it gets posted? I see 22 supports to 1 oppose.VR (Please ping on reply) 09:58, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can someone explain why this isn't covered by the Hezbollah ongoing we added only 4 days ago in a discussion that contemplated this very invasion? Nfitz (talk) 12:17, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    After reflection, this is just too big not to blurb. Support but remove from ongoing until this rolls off and remove the current assassination blurb (but post this at top). Support Alt 2. Sorry User:Kcmastrpc. Nfitz (talk) 12:28, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No need to apologize, you're making good arguments. I would lean towards support if the ground incursion could be confirmed larger in scope, but at the moment it appears to be targeted and limited. If that changes, then I will reconsider my position. Kcmastrpc (talk) 12:46, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's hard to tell what they are thinking. Aggressors frequently play down their operations for logistical reason. And on the other hand, if Iran does, as the US is claiming they are about to do, and launch ballistic missiles at Israel, will we see yet another blurb? And another when USA fires ballistic missiles at Iran? I keep flipping on this. Nfitz (talk) 16:28, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Per above, the point of ongoing was to capture the evolving headlines that arose out of this conflict, including the well anticipated ground incursion. What's the use of ongoing if we're just going to blurb every major development on this topic? Kcmastrpc (talk) 12:22, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If it wasn't for the lesser development currently still posted on its own, I'd hear you. You're making perfect sense, clearly. But there's a cognitive dissonance (in me), and we all know that's what everyone wants stopped at all costs (in each's own). So what? Pull it? InedibleHulk (talk) 12:38, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I'd considered that, but I had also opposed the posting of the HQ strike as a standalone blurb. The pager attack seemed novel and what turned out to be the beginning of a very deliberate campaign by Israel, so that seemed warranted. If this develops into a full blown invasion, per above, I could be convinced to support a blurb, but at the moment this is a well-anticipated (albeit sad) development in an ongoing conflict. Kcmastrpc (talk) 12:51, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's not sad for the children of the profiteers (and their children), at least, who also need to eat. Tolerance and wisdom are complicated, sometimes too winding. I haven't quite !voted either way yet, technically, so I'll let you choose for me and then just try not to think about it. InedibleHulk (talk) 13:00, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I feel that the addition of "ongoing" a few days ago is enough for now Tradediatalk 14:11, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support As per above, I believe this shouldn't just be ongoing since it is such a major escalation. Support for Levivich's suggestion, and push it to the top as well Sharrdx (talk) 14:35, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support and support swapping out Israel-Hezbollah war for this article in ongoing. Scuba 16:28, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wait - I'm going to change my mind again. This is moving too quickly, and all the blurbs are likely out of date with Iran's attack. Let's see what happens in the next few hours. Nfitz (talk) 16:40, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I think adding this would be having far too many stories about this conflict in a fortnight, that's what we have ongoing for. Even, if this does end up getting posted then Nasrallah's death news should be removed. ਪ੍ਰਿੰਸ ਆਫ਼ ਪੰਜਾਬ (PrinceofPunjab | ਗੱਲਬਾਤ) 17:11, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose It’s a highly notable development, hence a weak oppose rather than a full one, but between the airstrikes (that ended up pulled), death of Nasrallah, this, and now the Iranian missile strikes, we don’t want to overwhelm ITN solely with blurbs relating to this conflict - that’s literally why we added it to ongoing. The Kip (contribs) 17:24, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm satisfied with the combined blurb. The Kip (contribs) 00:39, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak oppose sadly this is the type of article and story that falls between the gap of ITN and DYK. The news is interesting but on the significance of news, very minor (if this meant the UK was fully on nuclear and renewables, that might be different), and the article is not appropriate for DYK due to age and small update size. I'd love to find a solution for these interesting news blips with good quality articles to be featured, and maybe that is ITN but we'd need to tighten down how these are selected as well. Masem (t) 15:52, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Coal production by country
  • It was Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government that broke the power of the coal miners and pushed for alternatives. I did some work on the government's systems at that time and was impressed at seeing the Payable Order for the regular subsidy for the National Coal Board as it was about £600M. You see deep coal mining was uneconomic then and it's even more so now. Open cast mining is much cheaper and great quantities of it are shovelled up in Australia to be burnt in China's power stations. UK coal production peaked at about 300 million tons a year but that was a hundred years ago. China now consumes over ten times that. It's their coal usage that matters most.

Nominator's comments: National election per ITN/R, also the results have caused several ministers in the government to resign. Scuba 15:46, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Is the blurb even correct? While ANO did do better than at any other Senate election and was the single party that gained most seats, it only won 8 seats, while the SPOLU coalition won 15 (according to the article). SPOLU also still has the majority in the Senate, given only one third of the seats were up for election. Also, not sure we should post the elections results for an upper chamber with only quite limited powers. Khuft (talk) 18:01, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure that's the case. Whichever is not properly reflecting the RS ought to be edited to bring it into alignment. 'Fraid I can't help ya there, because it's one of those articles which is why eg it is under WP:GS. I don't go near 'em, since (even w/stuff like sanctions) they are toxic firepits of people there to engage in combat in their outside-WP disputes on WP (just, for the more careful, politely so they don't wind up at the business end of Arbcom enforcement actions) as another battleground, not to work on neutral encyclopedia articles. Not the sort of thing I like to engage myself in as an uncompensated volunteer hobby. (Understand that this being true for many people is the ultimate cause of "why there are these Issues™ with content in Contentious Topic Areas" in the first place.)

    Thank you The Kip! Apologies, I know this definitely was not the right venue to ask but I wasn't sure where else to do so. If anyone does know what is the best way to do so, please let me know! Ornithoptera (talk) 18:17, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Please don't embolden the critics of ITN, this is very much "in the news" on a global basis, is clearly highly significant and we have a reasonable and improving article to link to. AusLondonder (talk) 18:18, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Post-posting stating what ought to be obvious: WP simply goes with what "the sources" are saying. "Killed/assassinated" is obviously the correct wording to use: whichever the preponderance of RS are using. (Frankly I would personally prefer a simple bright-line policy of always using "dies/is killed" for all deaths period no exceptions. "X died" is a simple objective neutral statement about facts of observable verifiable testable external physical reality: Is X dead, or not? Do they currently have ongoing cardiopulmonary function, Y/N? Everything else is already delving head-first into the realm of subjectivity and opinions, which are things intrinsically not falsifiable, not ever "true/false" or "correct/not correct". Hence these are things people can and do argue and disagree with others about, endlessly, a pastime they need to take to someplace other than WP appropriate to such matters. "Assassination", at least, has the generally-accepted meaning "an intentional killing done with political motives/intent".) --Slowking Man (talk) 20:13, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pull Currently the page is NPOV and V orange tagged. Kcmastrpc (talk) 21:27, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The solution, besides just "never post Contentious Topics on the main page at all period", which I suspect might not find a consensus in favor of doing, is probably a policy of automatically full-protecting any such article while it is on main, and forking a /Draft subpage where people can work on a newer version. After its time on the main page is through, the draft can be merged back to the article. (Any major Issues identified in the fullprot version can be handled by edit request, something already a part of the protection policy.) There would be no showstopper problems with doing this; Mediawiki makes it fairly simple. WP:There is no deadline, and for topics touched upon by BLP it's more important to "get it right the first time". Priority #1 is to serve readers. --Slowking Man (talk) 14:03, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now This is odd, almost makes me feel someone purposefully trying to add orange tags to remove it from the main page. Either way, this is literally THE in the news story. I havent seen a story so in the news since the start of the russian invasion of the ukraine. keep it up! Kasperquickly (talk) 15:56, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've lost count on how many times the tags have been reintroduced at this point. WP:ARBPIA is an incredibly contentious topic area and it's not uncommon for articles in this space to find themselves orange tagged. I would presume admins would know this and be wary of featuring articles on the front page that are so heavily sanctioned. I concur with @Slowking Man that caution should be exercised in this area and full protection be introduced for the duration the article is features on the main page. Kcmastrpc (talk) 20:29, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fully agree with full protection of all ARBPIA articles that go on the main page. VR (Please ping on reply) 01:44, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Such articles are commonly dominated by partisans who try to spin them to their side. If you protect such a page then you freeze it with a particular partisan POV. This is a significant quality issue as WP:NPOV is a core policy. Such topics are best left to the high-level overview of the Ongoing entries. Andrew🐉(talk) 07:53, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have no strong feelings on the idea, but policy already allows for reversion of a fullprot article to an earlier version without "problematic" content, as well as for admins to copy over to the prot version changes which gain consensus on the talk page. The intent is to halt edit warring and force people to discuss, not to "prefer" whichever version "wins" and manages to "make it in" right before the page is protected. Slowking Man (talk) 15:44, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is the second time I check the article in order to fix whatever caused the orange tag so that the article can stay in the main page, only to find out that there was nothing to fix. In the talk page they said that the article had to mention that Hezbola says that they would cease the hostilities if Israel stops its operations at Gaza, but the article already says that.

Famous actress. Household name and winner of the Triple Crown of Acting. Davey2116 (talk) 13:34, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support blurb She was an very famous actress and had some really famous iconic roles throughout her career and has won two Oscars. LiamKorda 14:31, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Now Supporting RD Article is much improved. Neutral on a blurb. She was certainly an important figure, but we have been routinely declining to blurb other giants in the field. "One can't go to pieces at the death of every foreigner. We'd all be in a constant state of collapse whenever we opened a newspaper." Lady Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:30, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Very Strong Support Blurb I believe this worldwide famous actor should be featured. She has been the star of many films including both Downton Abbeys and has captured the hearts of many, such a shame we have lost such an icon of the film industry.
The photo does need to be updated on the Wikipedia page, but I strongly support this blurb. 2H-Writer (talk) 15:27, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The photo is from the period when she won her first Oscar. That's the period where she became most celebrated. We don't need to bow to populism - she was more than Harry Potter and Downton; her damehood, for example, preceded those roles. Humbledaisy (talk) 15:47, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Blurb The article is still being edited, and she doesn't have enough due weight to merit a blurb. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 15:59, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support RD, oppose blurb per conversations around James Earl Jones and other recent actors. Scuba 18:53, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that James Earl Jones could and should have been blurbed but wasn't won't have influence the decision to blurb another person. BilboBeggins (talk) 19:03, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bummer, but if the consensus is Jones didn't deserve a blurb, than Smith doesn't deserve one either. Scuba 19:22, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
IMO as an actress and in achievements, Smith was several rungs above Jones. Cart (talk) 20:12, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To prove my point, Swedish radio is just doing a tribute program to Smith, Jones wasn't even mentioned on the news. Cart (talk) 20:35, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that the consensus was that James Earl Jones didn't deserve one - the discussion timed out, but there was a majority in favour. The problem is that every time a non-political figure is nominated for a blurb, there's a hard core of RD regulars who have their own (not necessarily matching) criteria that they repeatedly assert are the death-blurb criteria, and they make every discussion of this kind into a battleground to try and win once and for all. I'm heartily sick of it. We have too few stories reaching ITN as it is, and this just makes these kinds of nominations a bitter business to have to deal with. GenevieveDEon (talk) 07:54, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support blurb. Won Academy Award two times, was in spotlight for around sixty years. A larger than life personality that was a household name and worldwide known, so the information about her death will be useful to many people. BilboBeggins (talk) 19:06, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • RD only - Many notable scientists are mentioned in RD only, so famous actors should fall in the same ballpark. -Abhishikt (talk) 19:20, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support for RD. Definitely a legendary actor of long experience and achievements - Triple Crown actors are far from common. Article looks thoroughly sourced now. I am not certain if she does or does not merit a blurb, for my part. Challenger l (talk) 19:30, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support blurb She is an actress at the top of her field, with a career spanning decades (including recent award-winning roles), who has a rare "triple crown" of victories. If she is not nominated, then we may as well just set the precedent that no blurbs for actors or actress who die of natural causes ought be posted because this is as notable as you can get. FlipandFlopped ツ 19:34, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, absolutely and finally, we may as well just set the precedent. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:43, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I think it would be a bad thing if we decided that politicians' lives deserve special mention and leading cultural figures do not. GenevieveDEon (talk) 07:54, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This goes for all purely tributary RDs, with lives general audiences remember but deaths featuring age. InedibleHulk (talk) 08:55, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Certainly consistent and a view I can see myself being a little sympathetic to. All I want is some objective criteria/on, to avoid recurring angels, pin, etc debates revolving around subjective things like "major and influential". (I would in the event such a thing were adopted suggest making RD a bit more visible/"standing out". Might need to tweak the main page layout a little. Also a "temporarily 'pinning' high-traffic RDs so they don't get pushed off quickly" thing would be a good idea, to better serve readers.) Slowking Man (talk) 00:42, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That creates a bias towards popular topics, which we should absolutely not be doing, since that will weigh far more in favor of Western/English ones. Masem (t) 00:55, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The die in that regard was cast the moment the English Wikipedia decided to have an "In the news" section on the "front page" (so to speak), since that, naturally, is going to reflect most closely what is currently "in the English-language news". Unless the project and WMF bent over backwards to attract lots of polyglot en-speakers to enwp, and, if anything more importantly, to keep them engaged and willingly contributing to the project. Or, something like retaining a paid bureau of professional translators for WP to call upon to translate content into English. Kind of hard to write things reliably about things covered mostly by sources you can't understand. (For ex. serious historians (meaning people whose job titles are things like "Professor of X History", not people making "pop history" Content™) basically must learn at least some of the languages relevant to their chosen field(s) of study, eg historians of the ancient Mediterranean world will as a matter of course pick up at the least some ancient Latin and Greek.)
    The Old Grey Lady and the Beeb aren't going to focus some of their resources on greater coverage of not-majority English-as-first-lang parts of the world because some people at Wikipedia asked them to very politely, I'm afraid. The only other way, under WP's control, to cut through that Gordian knot (mixing some metaphors tonight) is to deep-six the ITN section altogether. Slowking Man (talk) 01:21, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    While it is true the news (and topics at ITN) will weigh more heavily on Western media, we absolutely do not need to perpetuate that bias that by the suggestion that we keep a highly-viewed/popular article in the ITN box longer than other items (the "temporarily pinning" idea). That's a facet we absolutely can control to minimize our own biases. Masem (t) 02:30, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Is it what readers want, Y/N? Asking rhetorically as I certainly don't know myself. That's the thing that matters most. (I would be thrilled with a well-designed survey of a representative sample of main page visitors (logged-in or not) about things of this nature. Sounds like something the WMF could stand to devote some resources to! I believe there have in fact been at least a couple of such things in the past about certain topics?) Slowking Man (talk) 03:27, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If we go by what readers want, we'd basically be writing a popular culture TVTropes wiki, and that's how WP was when it was first created but has moved well beyond that. We know that some topics will draw more interest, but our goal being on the main page is to feature a wide range of topics including those people do not know anything about as well as the familiar. We should absolutely not give excessive weight to popular topics, which is why we routinely ignore those !votes that claim we should be driving ITN via pageviews. Masem (t) 03:54, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Additional comment and with regards to everyone complaining about the inconsistency if she is posted but not James Earl Jones... I completely agree. JEJ should have been posted, and that was a bad decision on the community's part. But two wrongs a right does not make. FlipandFlopped ツ 19:43, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support RD, neutral on blurb. Obviously a very important figure. -insert valid name here- (talk) 20:19, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support blurb - greatly awarded and prolific actor, with an exceptionally long career. I'm not sure saying she isn't a famous politician, or what-aboutims mean much. Nfitz (talk) 20:29, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ready for RD, based on when I previously commented, the only sourcing issue I see is confirming a notable movie co-starring credit which is trivial to fix. All CNs have been addressed. --Masem (t) 20:34, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Posting as RD; blurb discussion ongoing (give me a few minutes to post it correctly; it's been a minute). Among the half dozen people who bothered to mention article quality (instead of the RD/blurb worthiness feud), there's a consensus the article is ready now. The article seems solid, and a lot of readers will be interested in seeing it now, rather than in 3 days when the RD/blurb issue is done. So I'm posting as an RD, and the discussion about a blurb can continue. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:40, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very strong support blurb. She has been an iconic, top-notch actress (especially in movies) for decades who won dozens of awards (multiple times), and has worked for many famous pop culture works. Blurb now. 64.114 etc 21:56, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
VS Support per 64.114 etc and others. 2605:8D80:325:5E2:C5D1:A387:2E8:5DFD (talk) 22:18, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • For those pushing for a blurb, you would strongly help your case by using the numerous obits that have come out to show how much of an impact or legacy she has in her field. There's a rather large number of these (compared even to JEJ) so there's fair game for a blurb, but let's please have stronger evidence based (via sources) that shows this is what reliable sources also state, rather than making original research claims here. --Masem (t) 23:27, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is a reasonable request. I'd much rather this was both the tone and the direction in these kinds of discussions. GenevieveDEon (talk) 07:54, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose blurb - not transformative, not in the upper echelon of famous and important actors. Can easily tell the story of film/television without her. Not especially well-known. I don't think a minor role in one of the most successful franchises of all time should mean very much. 2601:5C2:0:A6F0:5D8A:2DAE:87E0:4CF7 (talk) 03:01, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The page views show the level of interest and coverage. But not everyone follows the news closely and so ITN helps those who may have missed the announcement. And another goal is to "to emphasize Wikipedia as a dynamic resource". This is best done by posting blurbs frequently rather having a static, stale selection. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:05, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Aside from the fact her name is already on the front page, with a handy link, over 2 million people found there was to the article without the need for a blurb. I'm not sure people will have missed the news elsewhere and only be able to see it if it's blurbed here... - SchroCat (talk) 09:24, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not meaning this in any hostile kind of way, but I sincerely don't get where in WP:ITNPURPOSE the things we would like them to read stuff follows from. The closest-seeming part to me is point 3: To point readers to subjects they might not have been looking for but nonetheless may interest them. But that only talks about things we think they may take interest in, upon seeing them presented at ITN. (Which already is kind of a problematic matter of us trying to predict readers' desires and interests, since most aren't freely volunteering that information without even being asked.) Also I will note that bullet point #1 is about helping main page visitors get quickly to things "in the news" they might be searching for (I don't know whether this is intended to reflect any kind of "ranking").
A principle always important to note regarding statistics (such as page views) is they only tell you what they measure, not what they don't. It may be that page view figure represents just about everyone in the world who visits enwp semi-regularly and has interest in reading an article about X. It's also possible a bunch more people exist who would be interested if it were more prominently highlighted. You can't know either way based upon that stat. (Somewhat relatedly: "[A] dissatisfied customer does not complain: he just switches." Oliver Beckwith (1947), an adage often referenced by W. Edwards Deming.)

A good source showing illustrious career: "Maggie herself was determined to remind her audience – and to reassure herself – that she had played opposite Olivier, played Hedda Gabler for Ingmar Bergman, made films with John Ford, George Cukor, Joe Mankiewicz"[11] BilboBeggins (talk) 08:32, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Blurb - I saw a bit of discussion about James Earl Jones earlier in this nomination, asking why he wasn't blurbed but the consensus is leaning towards Maggie Smith getting one. I was one of those people who argued against James Earl Jones being blurbed and I stand by it; JEJ was a popular and highly-esteemed actor but I would argue Smith was a few rungs above him; like JEJ, she was widely known for roles in popular franchises but she was more closely associated with those roles than he was by virtue of them not being voice parts. I am not suggesting voice acting is less important than acting but, from a recognition angle, a lot of people around the world wouldn't recognise James Earl Jones as the actor who voiced Darth Vader and I would suggest many more would be able to identify Maggie Smith as McGonagall and Crawley. Being a recognisable face from something people can stream on Netflix only gets you so far, of course. What is more important is that Smith was one of the very most celebrated and decorated actors of her generation. You only need to look at her lede - two acting Oscars, five BAFTAs, four Emmys, three Golden Globes, a Tony, the BFI fellowship and the Bafta fellowship. She was awarded a CBE in 1970, a higher order than the OBE Judi Dench received that same year, and became a dame way back in 1990. She was consistently high-profile whether working in film, television or the theatre. She qualifies from all directions, in my opinion. When it comes to living actors born in the first half of the 1930s, there aren't many others who I think would qualify - maybe Clint Eastwood, Michael Caine, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren and that's yer lot. Humbledaisy (talk) 13:11, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good exposition, thanks. It’s been 24 hours, and in my view consensus is clearly in favor of a blurb. Let’s have an admin step up and do the right thing. Jusdafax (talk) 14:35, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Vote Tally By my count, the current tally is 28 votes in support to 16 opposed (just a few votes shy of a 2:1 ratio). I don't think this ratio is likely to significantly change, so a passing admin should probably assess and make a decision. FlipandFlopped ツ 16:53, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Consensus is not vote count driven, it is strength of the arguments. Masem (t) 17:06, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The best argument for giving Smith a blurb, is to just read the article where all of her accomplishments during an unusually long career are heaped for all to see. We are into day two of this, and this is still front page stuff. [12] [13] [14]. I also agree with Andrew's comment that it's about high time we give another woman an RD blurb. The irony of writing this while reading the top banner on this page (Celebrate Women's Voices: Join the #SheSaid Campaign!) is not lost on me. Cart (talk) 18:20, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Accomplishments are nice, but that doesn't necessarily equate to being the type of major/great figure in their field; anyone with a long career in entertainment likely will have a similar list of awards. I've commented above that obits and other sources since her death have far more beyond simple accomplishments to flesh a much stronger legacy section to make the blurb case far more sensible since we are giving the reader context for why we are featuring her death. Masem (t) 00:53, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Exactly my thoughts. I'm finding it really disappointing that there are several people in this discussion who are completely ignoring WP:OTHERSTUFF and opposing purely on the fact that someone else wasn't blurbed. This sort of argument should IMO be considered very weak. 80.42.195.111 (talk) 19:12, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That's the stupidest thing ever, why even bother to vote if the votes don't count? Scuba 21:00, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No one said "votes don't count", but consensus is not determined by vote count. This is one of Wikipedia's tenets, and is further clarified at WP:NHC Consensus is not determined by counting heads or counting votes, nor is it determined by the closer's own views about what action or outcome is most appropriate. The closer is there to judge the consensus of the community, after discarding irrelevant arguments. Natg 19 (talk) 21:14, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    There was no reason for a blurb on JEJ. Maggie Smith is significantly better known and more so around the world. Still, I'm neutral on a blurb, I wonder if we're going to blurb Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Merryl Streep, Dustin Hoffman, Clint Eastwood etc.

  • Support blurb—A true icon. Kurtis (talk) 11:37, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support blurb - If we had as our RD criteria: transformative of our hearts and minds (and therefore a major figure in their field), then Maggie Smith at the very least should have an RD photo posted here. My autistic son (age 29) had tears in his eyes when he told me about her death as he was frantically texting his mom. That’s how we know that someone deserves a blurb. Trauma Novitiate (talk) 12:05, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not trying to be mean but I hope you do realise that what brings tears to the eyes of your son is pretty much irrelevent here. Indians cry when a famous actor dies but he or she doesn't usually get a blurb or even an RD. There's a world outside your own cultural zone Varoon2542 (talk) 16:55, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose blurb – The "Legacy" subsection of her article is only a list of awards and accolades, no in-depth analysis of how transformative her work allegedly was. Though Smith may have achieved a higher amount of awards than others, collecting awards is something most high-profile actors/actresses achieve. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Thanks ♥) 15:40, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It would help if editors !voting support could provide sources that show that she was transformative. See also Masem's comments above. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Thanks ♥) 15:48, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment - I don’t disagree with your assessment. But the protocol for assessment and approval of an RD/Blurb is flawed. Just look at Fredric Jameson’s RD below before it goes off our board. It was only approved a few hours ago. It’s been Ready (in my opinion) for at least 24 hours. But now we’ve run out of time for a meaningful Blurb discussion. I did not realize Fredric Jameson was a leading and transformative figure in his field until I first edited his page 2 days ago. I think it’s fairly obvious that Jameson should’ve been blurbed based on the criteria you and Masem have pointed out. Unfortunately, I don’t really believe Jameson would’ve had a Blurb approved in any case, whether we had a discussion or not. Did anyone else here read his BLP, and realize he was a transformative figure in his field? I doubt it because it was never mentioned. Not to be cynical here. It’s just the reality here in this forum. For an RD to receive serious Blurb consideration, two things must happen: (1) the person nominated must be well-known to the general public (Jameson is not known to the general public and that explains why his RD was all but ignored), and (2) they must be a leading and transformative figure in their own field, and the BLP article must document that with solid/approved sources, citations, and references. That’s why we need to have a compromise and at the very least approve the RD/photo option which, by-the-way, had solid support on our Talk Page this past summer (check the archives for June, July, and August!: 3 months of discussion before it went stale). Jameson should have his photo posted here, at the very least. Just as Maggie Smith should have her photo posted here, too. Nice work you all, I see a picture was posted. Very savvy! - Trauma Novitiate (talk) 20:08, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very strong support blurb, a very iconic actress, who has worked for franchises such as Harry Potter, etc. Article is also good to go. 70.70.59.204 (talk) 19:25, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose blurb. Largely agree with Masem. For those citing her work in Harry Potter, is she the protagonist? or anywhere close to that? IIRC, there are ~10 more important characters. The rest of her career is noteworthy too, but I'm not seeing an impact anywhere. I've said before and I'll say again that actors rarely influence other actors' or directors' styles. With JEJ, there's his influence as a trailblazing black actor, but Smith's legacy section is, as has been previously mentioned, just awards. Sincerely, Dilettante 20:07, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Posted (or at least, I'm about to post this). I've had a read of the entire discussion and weighed votes by their strengths of argument. Poorly argued cases for and against a blurb are about equal. Apart from a handful of neutral votes, the remaining votes for a blurb far outweigh the opposers. The strongest oppose argument, referred to a number of times, is that the legacy section is merely a list of awards and accolades, but does not show her impact on the acting profession. Editors seem to argue that such impacts exist, it's just not documented in the article. Be that as it may, there is rough consensus to post a blurb. Schwede66 22:34, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now that the hurricane has made landfall before midnight on the 26, it can be here.

Wait as with every single storm that is proposed to ITN, the proposer consistently adds it before it's notable.

Comment: Both "hitting on" and "hitting in" are awkward to use in this context. Hitting on (at least in the U.S.) is a synonym of flirting. Hitting in, on the other hand, I have never heard of the term "hitting in" before, the closest term "hit in" means to target or set a bounty. TansoShoshen (talk) 17:39, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • While Masem's overstating his case a bit, I think everyone else is doing the same for theirs, too. This is a 10m-wide rock; I can't find a prediction for maximum expected apparent magnitude, but current observations are about +22.1, and the back of my envelope says it can't possibly get brighter than +19.4. Some of the sources above say it "won't be visible to the naked eye", which is one heck of an understatement; it'll be at least 200x dimmer than Pluto, you're going to need a serious telescope to see it, and while Andrew's right that we'll probably get free images of it, expect it to look a lot closer to our ones of Eris than our ones of Eros.

  • Oppose: this is popsci trivia. Even the byline for the NYTimes article that was linked says It’s just a little guy, and not everyone agrees that it’s actually a mini-moon. Also, Despite its possible lunar ancestry, the object may not technically count as a mini-moon. To normally qualify, an asteroid must orbit Earth fully at least once; 2024 PT5 will perform a horseshoe-shaped orbit. “It certainly won’t complete one full revolution in the Earth-moon system this fall, so I’m not sure I would classify it as a mini-moon’” said Lance Benner, the principal investigator of the asteroid radar research program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.  Bait30  Talk 2 me pls? 04:13, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    ITN subjects don't have to be rare as ITN mainly publishes lots of repetitive and routine items such as deaths, elections and sport.

Nominator's comments: I believe recent events have shown that this is very much merits ongoing status. The parent Israel–Hezbollah conflict article requires a lot of work, but the more specific Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present) looks fine. Also I know that the Israel-Hamas war article is already in ongoing but although inter-linked, this really isn't the same conflict. Abcmaxx (talk) 10:51, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is where we have to be careful with original research. I'm not saying that such sources dont exist, but we need to make sure if we start grouping news topics, we are following how sources do it. If we're grouping them just because we think they are connected without sourcing to back that up (which again, I don't think this is the case but we should be sure), we're engaging in original research Masem (t) 22:24, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Posted There's support for this to be added to ongoing once the 2024 Lebanon pager explosions rolled off, which has just happened. With regards to main page balance concerns, we can always adjust this by shortening one of the ITN blurbs, or reducing it to three blurbs, or gaining room by adjusting OTD. With regards to the suggestion to post "Israel–Hamas war (Hezbollah conflict, timeline)", I'm unconvinced about that on two fronts. Firstly, it implies that the Hezbollah conflict is a subset of the Israel–Hamas war, and whether that is the case would need consensus. Secondly, it becomes ambiguous what "timeline" refers to. There might be value in discussing this further based on "Israel wars" as the part before the parentheses. Schwede66 20:25, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Developing options further, current we have (first line) and could have (second line):
    Note the use of colon and comma instead of mid dot, and that the "Israel–Hezbollah conflict" is labelled a war in this option. Schwede66 20:35, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thought I'd give you a ping, Masem, since you suggested this. Schwede66 06:07, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    One option to recover some real estate it to make the Ukraine one simply "Ukraine War". And do we really need two links for both Ukraine and Sudan? Maybe two links for the Israel wars. Here's a thought - simply have Wars (Ukraine, Israel, Sudan). Nfitz (talk) 18:40, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, that all would need consensus and I can't see that we'd get there. Obvious problems are that we have a civil war in Sudan and turning that into a "war" is something different. "Russian invasion of Ukraine" also has a different ring to it than "Ukraine war". Schwede66 20:11, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure why we need to point out it's a Russian invasion, on ITN. Especially given that occurred 2 (or 10) years ago. Is it even the commonly-used term any more? Should we have been using "German invasion of Europe" instead of "War". The media uses "war" far more frequently than Invasion - examples 1, 2. Even some of the recent media articles about the heavy fighting in Khartoum don't mention it's a civil war. Nfitz (talk) 21:00, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All people with a Wikipedia article are presumed notable for RD as any other criteria (like whether voicing extended family on a popular children's cartoon passes the line) are subjective and arbitrary. Unknown Temptation (talk) 13:41, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Graham is especially notable since Peppa Pig is a world-famous show for children. High Admiral JMT (talk) 00:41, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I repeat, the criteria to be posted as a recent death is not notability or popularity, but the quality of the article. Even if Tom Hanks died today, the page would only be posted on ITN if the page was up to scratch. Unknown Temptation (talk) 13:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose the ICJ ruling was one thing, and a Security Council resolution would be another, but GA resolutions are non-binding - they usually hold little weight and rarely hold long-term significance. In addition, this doesn’t really change anything; the position of the UN on the OPT and Israeli occupation has been stated/reaffirmed repeatedly in the past, this is just doing so again. Only real unique significance is this being the first time Palestine itself has introduced the resolution, but I don’t think that meets the bar for ITN.

This is a contentious topic and so has all the usual aggravation and issues that they generate. The article still has a big orange {{POV}} tag, just like it did when I commented above. And the technical scope of of the topic has expanded since as it's not just pagers.
As this is obviously part of the general Arab-Israeli conflict, we should perhaps leave all such to Ongoing.
Andrew🐉(talk) 06:50, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is it an Arab-Israel conflict? The major Arab nations are not involved. And perhaps the biggest issue is non-Arabic Iran. As Israeli troops move further into Lebanon, and Gazify it, we'll have to make this ongoing - presumably combined with Gaza. Is there a name for a group that consists of Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthi, and Iran, etc.? Nfitz (talk) 02:20, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
These and other similar groups all seem to be part of Militant Islamism in the Middle East. They seem to be generally committed to Pan-Islamism rather than the nation states which are partly a relic of earlier colonial empires. Andrew🐉(talk) 14:50, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Shouldn't the blurb mention that Israel / the Mossad exploded the pagers? Saying that the pagers simply exploded makes it sound like it was just a freak accident or technical malfunction, and mentioning they belonged to Hezbollah without mentioning Israel in any way makes it sound like maybe Hezbollah was the perpetrator as opposed to the target.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 10:09, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's comments: Article only just created as 2024 European floods was too broad and not detailed enough. Significant for a large part of the continent, one of the biggest floods in the countries affected in history. Storm Boris (2024) and Genoa low articles need improvements too. Abcmaxx (talk) 15:17, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support until the quality improves. Seems notable for posting though.
Noah, BSBATalk 16:00, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment feels like we are creating excessive articles around these topics. Don't see why this can't be part of storm Boris in this case. Masem (t) 17:24, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Masem: Storm Boris is a redirect to a wind storm season article subsection. It doesnt have its own article. Noah, BSBATalk 18:19, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That subsection is covering the current floods, which seems to be fine. But if there is expansions to be made, that should be the standalone page and not this new flooding page. — Masem (t) 18:44, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hard disagree. The precedent here is 1997 Central European flood, to which this being frequently compared to. Firstly Storm Boris is just one of the factors that has caused the flooding. Secondly, given the impact and scale a standalone article is very much appropriate here, even though it is yet to be expanded, however I'm sure it will be expanded easily to such a point that WP:FORKs and WP:SIZESPLITs will be needed anyway. Abcmaxx (talk) 20:44, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    My concern is mostly thus larger trend anound seeming infinite atomization of current event event articles, where editors are given even small facets of larger stories their own article. We want to make the featured article here is sufficiently conpherensive of the cause and effects around the flooding without being too narrow. — Masem (t) 14:07, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Some of the information has been duplicated from 2024 European floods, but as long as that article can be organised by month instead of by country, that can be easily trimmed down to a summary with a {{main}} link. 2024–25 European windstorm season#Storm Boris is more of a mess, but still I don't think the problem here is anything more than poor linking between the three articles. The September floods due to Boris/Anett are without doubt notable -- this has turned out to be an event at least comparable to a 1997 flood. The storm, which might or might not be notable independently of the floods, currently only has a section in the windstorm list. Did I miss a fork somewhere? Daß Wölf 04:31, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong support, likely comparable to the 1997 or 2014 floods once all the information is tallied up, and the article is of sufficient quality. Suggest changing the blurb to "Storm Boris flooding leaves..." to make it immediately recognisable, as the name seems to have taken on in the media. Unfortunately, I wouldn't expect the article to be exhaustive until well after the event. Unlike e.g. Typhoon Yagi, this is affecting at least half a dozen countries with different languages where weather news commonly stops at the country border. When compared to North America and the UK, severe weather events in continental Europe fairly rarely get comprehensive articles on Wikipedia.
It's also somewhat hard to tell how long the effects will last. The bulk of precipitation fell on already saturated high ground near the sources of Europe's large rivers, so there might be a second wave of flooding downstream, or another if a warm spell suddenly thaws out the newly accumulated snow in the mountains. For example, the Danube might yet flood northern Serbia and easternmost Croatia [22]. Daß Wölf 08:28, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's comments: Article needs splitting into last few days' events, needs major update as well.

  • Comment Going by the current article, which covers floods since May, this feels like an inappropriate junction of multiple different weather events, getting in towards synthesis. Would almost definitely need a focus on the page on the storm that actually caused these most recent floods. --Masem (t) 12:06, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

News source(s): [23][24]

  • Oppose for now. Doesn't look like Trump was in any immediate danger and no shots were fired at him. I also note that there is some surprising ambivalence about the article on its talk page with some even arguing it should be merged into another page. FWIW I think this clearly passes GNG and AFAIK we have articles on all other confirmed attempts on the lives of current and former presidents. But until that gets sorted out, I'd be reluctant to promote this on the main page. -Ad Orientem (talk) 23:10, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as well. Unlike the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, nobody was killed or injured. This doesn't have enough due weight to merit a blurb in ITN. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 23:25, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose We have opted not to post known-but-foiled assassination/attacks (before anyone got injured) against major political figures, and this seems to fall into that category. --Masem (t) 23:53, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per 2604 etc. 64.114 etc 00:04, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Multiple past assassination attempts on presidents have been discussed here before (there were multiple on Biden, for example). But if the plots were foiled and no injuries or even structural damage occurred, then they weren't considered to have enough due weight to include in ITN. Unless there's some other exceptional reason to include this that hasn't been presented yet, then I see no reason for this to run. SilverserenC 00:04, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose "shooting" seems very tabloidish, given I've seen no reports that the alleged trespasser ever fired a weapon. And I don't think person arrested with a weapon in the vicinity of a leader (let alone a former leader) is particularly notable, other than perhaps locally. Someone remind me though - when they arrested that nutter in Ottawa who was at Rideau Hall with all those guns, looking to shoot Trudeau - did we post it? That would be a good comparison. Nfitz (talk) 00:33, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
At least based on searching the archives above for keyword "Trudeau", we've only ever run two ITN blurbs for him, for his election and then re-election. So, no, it doesn't appear to have been posted, not unless whatever was run didn't mention Trudeau at all. SilverserenC 00:41, 16 September 2024 (UTC)\[reply]
It looks like it didn't even get a Wikipedia article - surprising given the international news coverage 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; though it is mentioned at Timeline of incidents involving QAnon#Intrusion into Justin Trudeau's residence. It is mentioned at the final attempt of 2020 List of heads of state and government who survived assassination attempts - which seems to show 2 or 3 a year, recently. Which raises the question of how many of those were posted. Nfitz (talk) 01:14, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The small text says all humans, animals etc. are assumed to be notable enough to post. I never doubted that. What I said was that the page is just over the length of a stub. Would we ever consider posting a page on a Liberal Democrats leader like Charles Kennedy or Paddy Ashdown if the page was just over the definition of a stub, and a mere list of offices held rather than who they were as politicians and people?

That's certainly up for debate, although the media do treat this as a "first", reflecting the increasing commercialization and privatization of spaceflight. Sandstein 16:04, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I guess every major news outlet is just lying in saying that the first commercial spacewalk is a major milestone. Scuba 16:34, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's hype. News outlets frequently produce hype. Of more interest on the operational front is that this was a spacewalk without airlocks. To my mind 'first commercial spacewalk' is one of those excessively-specific superlatives, like 'tallest actor' or 'first Frenchman to cycle around the world'. I don't see the operational activity's dependence on the commercial organisation supporting it as especially remarkable. GenevieveDEon (talk) 16:44, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand the point you're trying to make, the superlatives that you listed exist and aren't that ridiculous. It being commercial is the whole point, the commercial space race has been proof that the age of big bloated government agencies dominating every aspect of space travel is over. SpaceX doesn't get 0.48% of the US budget every year to only make one rocket every 4 years like NASA with SLS. Scuba 03:50, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with GenevieveDEon. This is just a hyped up news story because of SpaceX, and because of a billionaire who is part of the team. What is fundamentally different from this and other spacewalks, which have been done numerous times by NASA or Roscosmos astronauts? We have already posted other "firsts" for commercial spaceflight, but this to me is an insignificant "first". Natg 19 (talk) 16:39, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because it isn't being done by NASA or Roscosmos or any governmental agency, it's being done by a private company. Scuba 03:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - This is still a big deal; it really doesn't matter if a billionaire was involved. Inspiration4 was blurbed as it was the first all-civilian spaceflight, I feel like the first ever commercial spacewalk should get the same treatment. qw3rty 17:29, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - in addition to the big media coverage for the first commercial spacewalk, also of significance is that the earth orbit achieved an altitude of over 1,400 kilometres - breaking the 1,370 km crewed record set in 1966 by Gemini 11/Agena. (of course the moonshot orbits were technically higher, so technically the Apollo missions were further away while trans-lunar or in lunar orbit. There's also been a new record set of 19 people in earth orbit simultaneously (on two space stations, with 5 capsules - Polaris Dawn, Soyuz MS-25, Soyuz MS-26, SpaceX Crew-8, and Shenzhou 18. Arguably, each of these three records should be blurbed. Combining into one seems more than reasonable. Nfitz (talk) 18:09, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think any of those should be blurbed. They're all just 'mosts' of things we don't normally pay attention to measuring at all. And if we're talking about the achievements of private space flight, one of the things it has done is to raise the number of people currently in Earth orbit by stranding two people on the ISS for six months. I also don't think that an altitude record that arbitrarily excludes the Apollo astronauts is a record at all. GenevieveDEon (talk) 21:36, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't see what makes a commercial spacewalk so special compared to something like a routine one done at the ISS where they actually leave the spacecraft. Hungry403 (talk) 06:56, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support It's in the news, unlike the stale stuff that we're currently blurbing. And when reliable and respectable sources such as the NYT describe it as a milestone, that beats the OR/POV above.
As for the spacewalk, our article tells us that this mode is called a "stand-up EVA (SEVA)". Me, I'm more impressed that they've chosen to fly through the Van Allen belt to see how bad the radiation is.
Note also that we have pictures of the crew and so can use and rotate them.

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

Support - Notable achievement in commercial space flight, as well as other firsts per Nfitz, Rockview13 (talk) 16:48, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose current blurb Disagree that there is anything particularly notable or groundbreaking about the first "commercialized" spaceflight - do we do a separate post for commercial versus non-commercial "firsts" with any other achievements? IMHO if we did post, what makes it notable is that it achieved a record-high orbit, as per the title of this other NYT article. If we do blurb, that is probably what the blurb should highlight. When the NYT calls it "groundbreaking" or a "record", that is the record they are referring to - the highest orbit ever reached which was not part of a mission to the moon.

  • One wonders what difference posting to Main page will cause to number of views? What's the usual effect? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:28, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    For one RD post, Eric Sievers, he died on April 10, was posted to RD on April 14, and received ~7,000 more views that day after trending down the previous days.[30] Not sure about the effect of a blurb, or a pictured blurb. —Bagumba (talk) 10:54, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Many thanks. I was thinking more of someone like this. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:13, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That's harder to gauge when there's 100s of thousands of views to know what's the "natural" traffic vs. the RD effect. There's the natural dropoff of views with each passing day. With a less popular one like Sievers, it's easy to see the bump when it took a few days to post. —Bagumba (talk) 12:30, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, there's click data for Wikipedia at m:Research:Wikipedia_clickstream. In the month of June, it shows Template:Code. **If** I'm reading it correctly, there was 44,467 clicks from the Main Page to Sutherland's page, presumably all from the RD post. It was up for ~40 hours, which works out to ~27,000 views/day. —Bagumba (talk) 13:04, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for discovering this as it's another good source of evidence. Trying this out, I looked at July's stats. For a given article, you can see where the traffic came from. The following is a list of prominent RD/blurbs during July and the percentage of traffic that came from the main page, i.e. ITN.
    Toumani Diabaté = 42%
    Nguyễn Phú Trọng = 31% (the one person that got a blurb)
    Ray Reardon = 14%
    John Mayall = 7.8%
    Edna O'Brien = 2.96%
    Shelley Duvall = 1.87%
    Bob Newhart = 0.99%
    William Calley = 0.98%
    Richard Simmons = 0.73%
    Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark = 0.55%
    So, in most such cases, it appears that ITN has little effect in driving traffic. From the comparative data, it seems that the Deaths in July 2024 often drove more traffic.
    Andrew🐉(talk) 17:20, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The caveat is that those are monthly totals, and an items says on RD for say 1–3 days out of 30, and popular people obviously get more traffic independent of RD. But the beauty and curse of statistics is that small percentages of a large volume is still thousands or tens of thousands of clicks. For example, depending on the desired narrative, a company of 10,000 that laid off 100 people can said to have "only had a 1% reduction" vs "terminated 100 workers". —Bagumba (talk) 01:13, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Indeed. When using statistics, what you want are the big numbers, not the small ones. By looking at our readership stats, you can see whether a story is attracting millions of views or just a few thousand. This seems to be a more objective measure than a poll of the tiny number of editors that show up here. Andrew🐉(talk) 06:55, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    We do not care about page views here, again. Nor are page views any indication about whether we should post a blurb (that would make it a popularity game and that's a disservice to the main page) — Masem (t) 11:57, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    So if someone dies Sunday and their page gets 100,000 views on Monday and Tuesday... then their RD gets posted to Main page on Wednesday, and the page gets 50,000 views for the rest of the week.... That's all just irrelevant? ITN/RD is still worth all the effort? (I guess this question should really be discussed at ITN Talk). Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:04, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If that were the case, then we'd close blurbs and RDs within 2 days because what's the point then? We'd like to make sure things are timely, but we also need to make sure all aspects are met before posting, and thus we have the 7 day period for candidates to be considered. We're not here to make sure the most popular news stories are being pushed to the ITN box, but to showcase quality articles that are in the news, if that happens to be someone popular that brings a lot of views from the main page, great, but its by no means any rational we have to post something. Consider that probably the bulk of those million views for JEJ were well before RD was posted, so it is not like readers cannot find their way to that article without ITN's help. Masem (t) 12:16, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    We might close them if monitoring of page views was an agreed part of the process? Martinevans123 (talk) 12:22, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    We shouldn't be worried at all about page views; certainly none of the other Main Page sections worry about this. We want to feature any quality WP content - with the situation that it should have been in the news recently (7 days). That's it. Whether that drives people to read those articles is out of our control once posted, but we do know there's typically a bump, however small, because of being shown on the main page, means that we're meeting our job. Hence why aspects like popularity or page views should not be any type of driver for posting an item, not to mention the general aspect of fighting systematic bias. Masem (t) 12:43, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Is there systematic bias for posting American actors with whom UK editors are largely unfamiliar? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:58, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The systematic bias is two part here, one being American, and two being a celebrity, both areas where there is disproportionate news coverage. It's why this blurb and several of the comments make it feel like a popularity contest. We should worry about "not famous in country X" comments, since that type of argument is discouraged in addition to our goal of trying to show a diverse array of topics (it's like that French actor from a few weeks ago, perhaps only a household name in France but demonstrated all the right factors for blurb posting, just never got quality improved) Masem (t) 13:29, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I meant simply that because there are more American !voters here, American actors will tend to get more support for a blurb. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:34, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We didn't post blurbs even of such well-known actors as Kirk Douglas, Donald Sutherland, William Hurt, Gena Rowlands, Lauren Bacall, Eli Wallach, Harry Dean Stanton, Louis Gosset, Jr., Martin Landau.

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

  • Oppose blurb Decent actor? Yes. Transformative? No. I really don't like to criticise other editor's reasoning, but let's be clear here - Kirk Douglas didn't get a blurb because "old man dies". Is Jones on a higher level? I really don't want to mention the Carrie Fisher effect here, but - oops, sorry. But really, how many non-Star Wars fans outside the US would even know who he was? Black Kite (talk) 12:16, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd agree, except for the fact that his career stems back to 1965 and, per the article, he's been recognised as a pioneer for African Americans in stage and film. Promethean (talk) 12:27, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    He lived a long life and continued to work into his dotage. I don't think that's all that unusual when it comes to notable film actors. There are hundreds of notable screen stars working right now whose careers span 50+ years. Donald Sutherland's career stretched back to the 1960s too but it didn't make him blurb-worthy. James Earl Jones' screen career did start during the civil rights era in the United States, but I don't think it's enough. In contrast to Sidney Poitier (whose death we blurbed), he was not a notable star at that time, he wasn't closely associated with activism and he isn't known for any major firsts as an African-American actor. Humbledaisy (talk) 12:42, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    He was a second Black actor go get nominated for Oscar. BilboBeggins (talk) 20:21, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Well yes, that's my point exactly - not a first. Humbledaisy (talk) 15:02, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The changes do not happen immediately, he can be regarded as first Black actor to have achieved that much success on stage. And he was active at the same time as Poitier, so they both contributed. BilboBeggins (talk) 19:13, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Loads of actors have careers of many decades, I'm not seeing that as something blurb-worthy. And "being a pioneer for African Americans" is sourced to an obituary. I'd be far more likely to take that seriously if I could see RS saying that from when he was still alive. Black Kite (talk) 14:43, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    What a trite question. Olivier was one of three who dominated British stage acting in the C20th, before moving into theatre management by setting up and running the National Theatre.

    Then you don’t understand what Olivier’s impact was. Aside from dominating the British stage for much of the twentieth century, he was a formidable producer and director.

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

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

    The mistake will be not to blurb him.
    Could you give rationale why Poitier was bigger than Janes Earl Jone? In last twenty years of his life Poitier was not active except for occasional Oscar ceremony appearances. And before that his only significant, or blockbuster role in another twenty years or so was being third-billed role in Jackal.
    One of the rationale was that he got theatre named during his lifetime. BilboBeggins (talk) 19:17, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    “If you were an actor or aspired to be an actor, if you pounded the payment in these streets looks for jobs, one of the standards we always had was to be a James Earl Jones," — this is from no other than Samuel L. Jackson.

  • First of all, I'm happy to see this discussion was reopened. I think it was a very poor decision to close it.

Going through the discussion, I see many reasons to blurb, including:

1) Major/iconic figure in the field. 2) EGOT recipient (even though one of his awards was noncompetitive, such recipients are still generally recognized as having an EGOT). 3) Pioneer for the Black community in acting. 4) Death is making international headlines. 5) Internationally recognizable voice 6) He was Darth Vader

I don't see the last two arguments as valid; they hinge on one or two roles (Vader & CNN bumper voice) so I'm discounting their weight

Reasons opposed to blurbing:

1) Not significant/transformative enough 2) Poitier was an earlier pioneer--I can see a case for these. 3) He's not worldwide--somewhat of a stretch considering the reach of the Star Wars franchise & CNN but I'll concede it. 4) Not on par with a world leader 5) We're an encyclopedia, not The New York Times 6) We're not a fan page These are weak rationales. We've always blurbed the occasional entertainer, all encyclopedias include articles on cultural/entertainment figures, and despite what some people seem to think we've never limited death blurbs to world leaders. 7) He's only known for Vader. Not true, he won many awards for other roles. 8) If we didn't blurb X, then we shouldn't blurb James Earl Jones. Not necessarily true. We've made poor decisions not to blurb someone in the past; doesn't mean we should repeat the mistake.

Either way, whether counting all !votes (by my count 36-18 in favor of blurbing) or just the votes that are more compelling arguments (33-10 for a blurb), there's a supermajority of at least 2-1 to blurb James Earl Jones. While I know there's no "hard number" for making a determination, this certainly seems to me like a consensus to blurb. --Pats2017 (talk) 01:34, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. For me, blurbing Fuhimori, who not many knew and not blurbing James Earl Jones, who is worldwide known does not make much sense. Earl Jones made more impact in the world. Arguments against blurb are not convincing — they involve WP:ITNCDONT, some are oldmandies. But we do post old people's deaths, see Prince Phillip, Deepak Kumar, Henry Kissinger, former Chinese leader. Some opposes say that being voice of characters is not enough, but he did not only do that. And some users asked for praise and evidence of being transformative in reliable sources before death, which I demonstrated, many said that he inspired and influenced them. BilboBeggins (talk) 06:21, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think your demonstration passed a threshold for inclusion (speaking solely for me); everyone's line will be different, but for me he wasn't transformative enough to warrant a blurb. When you discount the straightforward fanboy voting ('but he was Vader' or 'but he was famous'), there just isn't a consensus to post. ITN isn't about blurbing people because people have heard of them (thus why Fuhimori was blurbed), but because of their impact, and JEJ wasn't transformative in my book. - SchroCat (talk) 06:36, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not true. I went over this in my post above. Discounting both fanboy votes ("but he was Vader") and poorly reasoned oppose votes ("old man dies"/"not a head of state"/"death not notable"/"we didn't blurb X so we can't blurb JEJ") there was a clear consensus to post (it was 33-10 in favor/34-10 now...I'm not counting the "stale" vote because at the time of that post it's wasn't stale). I'm not sure how 33-10 isn't consensus to post. Just counting !votes actually was more favorable to the "oppose" verdict, but it was still 2:1 in support of posting.
    That's also not considering the discussion was closed for a day--an inexplicable decision based on how the consensus was beginning to break toward supporting a death blurb. At the time, it was about 29-9 reasoned voting; 32-16 ! votes.
    It's about to go stale, so I don't expect it to be posted now. And to be fair, while I supported blurbing James Earl Jones he's nowhere near the top of my favorite actors list, so I'm calling this as I see it. This ITN item was poorly handled. I think it's worth a discussion on the Talk Page, or wherever the proper forum would be. Pats2017 (talk) 13:13, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Strawmen arguments. Consensus is not reached by vote counting. Your final para speaks volumes about the desire for people voting out of a desire to see a favourite actor blurbed, rather than someone who was transformational. I liked JEJ as an actor, but he wasn't transformational, which is why (in my eye at least) he shouldn't have been blurbed. I suspect we'll see exactly the same situation when Harrison Ford dies too (like him a lot, appears in lots of iconic roles, but not transformational at all: but I'll put money on fanboy voting to get him a blurb). - SchroCat (talk) 15:28, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a straw man argument at all. In fact, what you're doing is arguing for your opposition to be a Supervote. Though there was a clear consensus to post, you want your own personal opinion to carry more weight than everybody else's. Not sure how nearly more than 75% of the votes wouldn't be a consensus, unless SchroCat's outweighs everybody else's.
    This was a botched process. It never should've been closed to Tone in the first place, and it reeks of Supervoting among admins. Pats2017 (talk) 15:43, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    What a rather strange and misguided comment. Rather obviously, I am not asking for anything of the sort. You, however, have vote counted and expect a result on that basis (see WP:Consensus and WP:NOTDEMOCRACY for more information).Template:PbNor was it a botched process. It was a reasonable close at the time, and reopened less than 24 hours later.

    Nowhere have I said that vote count is the only thing that matters. In fact, I discounted many support votes. Given the overall quality of arguments AND the way they split, I find it hard for you to argue that consensus was not achieved. Just like we don't count up the votes, we also don't ignore voting. You still haven't explained how a consensus was not achieved, when it was closed with so many in support of a blurb. Hard to see how that's not a Supervote. Pats2017 (talk) 16:24, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually we do ignore voting. We don't ignore !voting (which means a good rationale based on the policies and guidelines of the site). There wasn't a clear consensus to post once the fanboy votes were (legitimately) ignored. That's not a supervote, and it's a shoddy accusation to throw at the admins. - SchroCat (talk) 16:54, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I didn't count the fanboy votes, which you've repeatedly failed to acknowledge. Even limiting the vote to only those with a good rationale based on the policies and guidelines of the site, there was a consensus of !votes to blurb JEJ. For you to say there wasn't a consensus means you think some !votes carry more weight than others, which is effectively a Supervote.
    If you don't want Supervote accusations thrown at the admins, then the admins shouldn't make decisions that give off the appearance of a Supervote. Pats2017 (talk) 17:32, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Again you're counting how many people have commented, rather than weighing the arguments for and against, which is how you get to a consensus. There's a huge difference that a relative newbie can't or won't understand.Template:PbNo admin—or indeed any editor—has done anything even remotely similar to making a supervote.

    You just said we don't ignore !voting, and I reinforced that I did not. You still fail to acknowledge that. You seem to think that some good rationales are better than others, which is effectively a Supervote.
    As for your second comment, I'm not trying to swing anyone. I've accepted that the chances of posting this are remote. Not every potential ITN blurb I've supported has been posted, while some blurbs I was opposed to were posted. That's Wikipedia life.
    But it doesn't mean I can't weigh in when I think a decision was egregiously incorrect. Happy to take it to ANI.
    I'm sorry that this is such a upsetting conversation for you. I've explained myself multiple times, and your emotive demeanor is becoming angrier and angrier at a relative newbie.

    "You seem to think that some good rationales are better than others, which is effectively a Supervote": as I've already explained, some rationales are better than others (one based on policies and guidelines will always trump a "because he's famous vote", for example). That's not a supervote - I don't think you understand what that actually means in practical termsTemplate:PbGo ahead and open the thread at ANI then.

    I am focusing on my arguments. As I've already explained, there were many good rationales, based on policies and guidelines. At no point have I ever stated that "because he's famous" was a valid rationale. You continue to invoke arguments I'm not using--a straw man argument--to try to validate that the arguments you choose are better than anyone else's, even if they are outweighed by other !votes in both number and rationale, which is effectively a Supervote.

    We can't be sure about the motivation, otherwise we could suggest that oppose votes were driven by dislike of the character.

    That's one of the most bizarre comments I've ever seen: Oppose votes were driven by people's dislike of one character he voiced in a long career? That's just ridiculous!

    Why do we consider this straightforward fanboy voting? If we discount votes, we need to discount votes with argumentation against the rules, like being an acting head of state is not required for blurb, Oldmandies link leads to discussion without consensus for this item and is without a closure. BilboBeggins (talk) 12:34, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Template:Tpq. I don't think either of those claims is accurate. Fujimori was massive news throughout his presidency in the 1990s and (fall from grace, conviction, imprisonment, daughter running for president three times) over the following 2½ decades. But as Wikipedia:Systemic bias says, "Wikipedia underrepresents the perspectives of people in the Global South". Moscow Mule (talk) 16:46, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Alberto Fujimori is a household name across the world, Earl Jones isn't known outside the US. He was dubbed and even those who dubbed his characters aren't particularly celebrated for that

Template:Green This is a case where the exception proves the rule -- by specifying that uncredited roles need a citation, it follows that credited roles do not (necessarily) require one.

So, the essence in what you are saying, is that citing the film itself (say, a dvd, or an online version) is sufficient for a credited role.

Wikipedia is not a reliable source, especially a page that does not cite any sources, such as the one you mention. As is well known, executive power is shared between the President and the Prime Minister according to the French Constitution. The Prime Minister heads the government, which "determines and conducts government policy". This is particularly evident in periods of cohabitation, such as the current period. Cf. [33]. The error on the page you mention has been fixed based on Article 21 of the French constitution. -- SashiRolls 🌿 · 🍥 07:13, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The status of the current period as a cohabitation is still being discussed by reliable sources, as it is pretty much a unique situation between an entirely presidential regime and a "full" cohabitation. While the Prime Minister himself calls it "coexistence" rather than "cohabitation", political analysts describe it as "a new form of cohabitation", with the portmanteau "coalitation" being especially popular as the power shifts from the President to the National Assembly. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 23:11, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Leaving aside forumy discussions about whether a PM from a party holding fewer than 40 seats in the National Assembly represents a true transfer of power reflective of the results of the legislative election, the fact remains that the PM is (at the very least the nominative) co-leader of the executive branch and therefore his appointment is newsworthy. Article 21: Template:Tq The correction of the error mentioned above makes the appointment of a French PM automatic by virtue of Wikipedia:ITNELECTIONS.-- SashiRolls 🌿 · 🍥 01:16, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It appears you have made 200 edits to mainspace. Feel free to get some experience by fixing whatever you see as problematic. As for whether the Prime Minister of a country whose government is run by the prime minister is a notable position, we'll have to agree to disagree. -- SashiRolls 🌿 · 🍥 14:51, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We only require the targeted article to be of sufficient quality - if we required all articles linked from the blurb to be of good quality, nothing would ever be posted. Gödel2200 (talk) 16:16, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: Those opposing are doing so largely based on faulty arguments: firstly, executive power is "bicephalous" (two-headed) in France. While the power of the prime minister is largely nominal when the President and PM are from the same party, this is not the case during divided government. Secondly, whether the nomination process is democratic or not does not determine whether something is newsworthy. -- SashiRolls 🌿 · 🍥 08:32, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I still struggle to see any extraordinary reasons for this to be posted and as kcmastrpc pointed out, prime minister of France is still orange tagged.
Furthermore, please refrain from continuing attempting to poison the well, as the amount of contributions anyone have has little to do with the validity of their arguments and doesn't help your case. 31.44.224.222 (talk) 14:15, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The mention of your lack of experience is an attempt to explain your lack of understanding of the appropriate guideline that has been provided. Nothing extraordinary is required to post the appointment of a new head of government after 8 weeks of delay. That is not to say that this appointment is not extraordinary, given the extraordinary circumstances, but that is not relevant to a decision here. Moreover, after adding five standard references and a book review, I've removed the orange tag on prime minister of France. -- SashiRolls 🌿 · 🍥 16:42, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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

His predecessor's item was posted. It was later pulled due to a lack of consensus over the blurb language (inclusion or not of his status as the first openly gay PM). The case was different too, of course, because it was not a situation of cohabitation (in which the President's primacy over the executive is lost to the PM). Template:Diff2, but do not support posting Barnier. I'm confused as to why when the PM is exercising executive power you oppose, but when the PM was only administering the President's will you supported. -- SashiRolls 🌿 · 🍥 15:34, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SashiRolls, when I posted the support vote at the item, it was my only 15th edit to ITN/C page and was still learning the entire process. Since that time I've made more than 600 edits and I would have opposed that nomination now. Now, why I supported that nomination was because of his sexuality (shouldn't have). My Opposition now has more to do to with the power of the PM. Also, considering the political atmosphere right now, we may see such nominee in the near future again. ਪ੍ਰਿੰਸ ਆਫ਼ ਪੰਜਾਬ (PrinceofPunjab | ਗੱਲਬਾਤ) 17:50, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Mahara prison riot and Tuluá prison riot noms were not posted only due to quality issues (meaning there was not consensus against notability). For the other two mentioned examples (the February 2021 Ecuadorian prison riots and September 2021 Guayaquil prison riot), it does not seem that they were even nominated, which means there was not consensus against posting. In fact, prison riots do get featured on ITN. See for example this one, which was from June 2023. Gödel2200 (talk) 13:32, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
