Italian Parliament (1928-1939)[edit]

  • ... that under a 1939 law enacted by the Italian Parliament, politicians would be required to fight in "front-line units" in the event of war?

Created by LavaBaron (talk). Self-nominated at 18:21, 16 July 2016 (UTC).

  • Comment Removed the second "Italian", as it seems redundant. Edwardx (talk) 21:15, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
  • I've struck ALT0 because the source by no means says that with anything like clarity. Aside from there being nothing to indicate that this bill was enacted into law, the phrases "privilege of being called to arms" and "drafting" are ambiguous at best.
ALT1 ... that in 1938 the Italian Parliament's Chamber of Deputies "committed long-awaited suicide"?

I'm also somewhat concerned that so much of the article is cited to contemporaneous sources rather than retrospective, especially since at least one of the sources used speaks with a touch of amusement. EEng 17:20, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
  • @LavaBaron: EEng's comments effectively put a hold on this nomination and are noted. The article would ideally have more contemporary sources but it does not, and I think it should proceed regardless. The article is new enough and long enough. It is neutral and my spot checks did not reveal any policy issues. ALT1 will not do because the quoted phrase does not appear in the article, and the sentence it refers to requires an inline citation. If the ALT1 hook were rewritten to just state that the parliament abolished itself in 1938, I could pass this nomination. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:16, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
The quote can be added to the article, obviously. Do I have to do everything? EEng 14:54, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
