The result was: promoted by The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk19:13, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Created by Howard the Duck (talk). Self-nominated at 14:28, 10 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - Does it say in the article that the belated swearing-in is due to the three candidate lists being submitted? In the article I only see that three candidate lists were submitted, then the winner was sworn in belatedly, but without a relationship between the two events.
QPQ: Done.

  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but it is unclear from the article that the swearing-in was belated; please state this explicitly. Also, I find the hook confusing and wordy. The section about the 2013 election seems much juicier in terms of a hook. Also, please add citations for the Electoral chart. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:31, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reference #16 shows that the legislature has already convened, and that its leaders is asking the election commission to hurry up in declaring Senior Citizens' winning nominee. As for the blurb, we could make it less wordy to by omitting the reason and just say it was delayed.
  • As for 2013, I'd agree, as it was not just delayed; they were not seated. How about:
  • ALT1: ... that no nominees for Senior Citizens Partylist were seated in the House of Representatives of the Philippines despite winning in the 2013 election due a dispute on which between the two sets of nominees to follow?
  • I've also cited "Electoral performance" section. Howard the Duck (talk) 02:47, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Howard the Duck: When we review hook facts for DYK, we want to see the information written in the article; then we look at the source to see that the text is verified in the source. Please spell out in the article that the swearing-in was delayed. As for ALT1, it is wordy and repetitive, and is not going to be of interest to anyone who doesn't follow Philippines politics. I'll try to suggest another alt later. Yoninah (talk) 11:49, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've added the date when Congress first convened, when congressional leaders urged the Commission on Elections act on this party's pending petition, and when the party's nominee was sworn in. I'd go with using the original blurb as approved by Epicgenius. Howard the Duck (talk) 12:16, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Howard the Duck: Philippines politics is confusing. Readers in other countries will not understand what a Certificate of Proclamation is for. I read the sources and tried to edit the paragraph under 2019 to reflect what the sources are saying. It seems it was not the three lists of nominees, but the infighting among the faction heads that delayed the swearing-in. Please fix up ALT0 and we can promote this nomination. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:32, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Yoninah:, each of the 3 factions submitted its own list. You can see it here (you'd need a Facebook account; they're #130). Yes, there was infighting, and it manifested with three lists of nominees that the commission decided which list to use to base a certificate of proclamation on. I suppose "Certificate of Proclamation" is self explanatory but I suppose I can go with "the commission proclaimed this person.
  • Here's an edited blurb:
  • ALT2: ... that Senior Citizens Partylist was sworn in five months after the 18th Congress of the Philippines convened since its factions cannotcould not agree on a nominee? Howard the Duck (talk) 21:15, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Excellent! ALT2 hook ref verified and cited inline. I tweaked the sentence about the internal dispute some more based on the source. Rest of review per epicgenius. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:21, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
