What is the value of this article????[edit]

The Theresa May article covers everything that this one does, and in much more detail, with regular updates.

This one is quite far behind in terms of Cabinet appointments, for example, her trip to Scotland today, etc.

The best be might be to move large sections of the Theresa May articlehere, with a note that this is the primary article about May as Prime Minister. Peter K Burian (talk) 14:00, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It mirrors Premiership of David Cameron. The majority of the content about her premiership should be moved here, otherwise her biography will grow too large, and will give WP:UNDUE weight to her premiership, as opposed to the rest of her life. This is what's called a WP:SPINOFF, which allows us to divide content and put it in subpages, so as to ensure the main article complies with WP:SIZE. Essentially, the bulk of the detail should be transferred here, leaving a small summary section about the premiership at Theresa May. RGloucester — ☎ 14:52, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, although we should have a consensus first (more editors agreeing) in the Talk page of the Theresa May article. That article should end before the cabinet appointments, in my estimation, because that was already part of her premiership. I nominate RGloucester (a Senior Editor) to move the content (but leave a brief summary about cabinet appointments and May's speeches in the early days) - after we have consensus on the May article Talk page. Peter K Burian (talk) 15:01, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would rather not do it, as that might be seen as taking liberties. Let's see what happens over there. RGloucester — ☎ 19:58, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Does the May administration have a position on Brexit?[edit]

The article indicates that May has appointed a "Brexit secretary"..., but is strangely silent on her government's positions and actions and plans re the Brexit vote and next steps. N2e (talk) 03:26, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Early Days/Second Term[edit]

The section on Theresa May's premiership beyond the 2017 election is titled 'Second Term' whereas the section for before the election is called 'Early Days'. Should this be renamed to 'First Term' instead? Lancashire2789 (talk) 14:26, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
