JK Rowling[edit]

Why does the "Other" section include ex-leaders of Czech Republic and Australia and then JK Rowling? What makes her any more important than any of the other celebrities putting their tuppence worth on Leave and Remain, and foreign celebrities as well? Do we fill this section with the view of absolutely everybody on planet Earth who is not a current world leader? '''tAD''' (talk) 10:08, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Other figures that are notable and sourced to RS. There is a WP page that passed the notability threshold. I've also highlighted politicans from others who have been influential.Lihaas (talk) 08:33, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Commonwealth[edit]

I thought of doing the move but realized where would we put Malta/Cyprus?Lihaas (talk) 07:31, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not international[edit]

There are a few bits of this article that describe reactions from UK people and bodies. Should those not be moved to Aftermath of the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, 2016? Bondegezou (talk) 16:32, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Moving certain parts[edit]

I've created a 'merge to' template because some sections clearly do not. Most of the religious reactions came from British churches, which are obviously not international, and the economic impact was already covered in the main article. Also, two of the three academics are from British universities, so it makes no sense for their views to be listed here. I think this article should focus on the political reactions or simply be moved to the main article entirely. N Oneemuss (talk) 14:21, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
