(Updated) Jeremiah Manele[edit]
Blurb: Following the Solomon Islands general election, Jeremiah Manele succeeds Manasseh Sogavare as the Prime Minister of Solomon Islands. (Post)
Alternative blurb: Jeremiah Manele is elected as the Prime Minister of Solomon Islands.

The current ITN blurb on the 2024 Solomon Islands general election is now stale and somewhat misleading. Jeremiah Manele is now the prime minister. This could just be an update to the current blurb. The Jeremiah Manele is just a stub though (at the time of this nomination), which is a problem. -- Classicwiki (talk) 08:07, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Update existing blurb, with just the elections article in bold. Manele's article is in no state for a bold link, but the election article does discuss him becoming prime minister (in the 'aftermath') section. Modest Genius talk 10:54, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Update existing blurb bolding only the elections article, as Manele article does not meet WP:ITNQUALITY. Also, as per WP:EASTEREGG, we should just link to Prime Minister of Solomon Islands directly rather than Prime Minister of Solomon Islands. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:08, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Update existing blurb I agree that it is rather misleading, especially since the current blurb says that Sogavare led the party, the short descriptions of Sogavare and Manele are already updated so it makes since to update the blurb Normalman101 (talk) 15:00, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Notable and scheduled month-long boycotting campaign against Canada's largest grocery retail corporation, starting from Reddit. B3251 (talk) 08:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Merely stating an intention to boycott a particular store doesn't mean it will actually occur on a widespread scale. The most likely outcome is that a handful of people avoid shopping at the company's stores, while life will carry on as normal for everyone else. In the absence of objective proof that the company experiences a sustained (multi-week) significant decline in sales, this is not worthy of a blurb. Chrisclear (talk) 11:08, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose: it's questionable whether the subject even deserves its own article (it could probably be described in a paragraph in the Loblaw Companies article), or whether the boycott will be at all significant (much as we're frustrated by high grocery prices, we still need to eat). --RFBailey (talk) 11:24, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. I too am surprised we even have an article about the intentions of Reddit users. Even if all 60,000 genuinely stop shopping there for a month, Loblaws will barely notice. If this somehow has major impacts (e.g. bankrupts the chain or causes major social unrest) then I'll be willing to reassess, but so far the impact is zero and likely to remain that way. Is the boycott against Loblaw Companies, as linked in the proposed blurb, or just the Loblaws supermarkets? Modest Genius talk 11:33, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- I understand the concerns as well as the opposition towards nominating for ITN, but I support this being a standalone article. It's received pretty adequate coverage in the few months leading up to the boycott and it's definitely one of the most established consumer boycott movements directly related to the 2021–2023 inflation surge and in the 2020s overall outside of the American conservative-led Bud Light and Target Pride Month boycotts/backlash movements. B3251 (talk) 13:03, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, and article should be merged into Loblaw unless the boycott gains serious traction. --Masem (t) 11:59, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- This kind of article is probably best featured when the event concludes. This is also when our article on it will be at its best state, and when the exact impact is clearest. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 13:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - can see this article headed to AfD ✈ mike_gigs talkcontribs 13:53, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

The article needs more work but the first guitar hero already has a Legacy section which makes a start at showing his considerable influence. The NYT explains that "Mr. Eddy had tremendous success as a strictly instrumental recording artist in the late 1950s and ’60s, selling millions of records worldwide with growling, echo-laden hits like “Rebel Rouser” and “Forty Miles of Bad Road.” In the process, he played a major role in establishing electric guitar as the predominant musical instrument in rock ’n’ roll. Mr. Eddy influenced a multitude of rock guitarists, including George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Springsteen..." Andrew🐉(talk) 22:33, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Could Andrew possibly explain why he thinks the person is blurb worthy? No number-1 hits anywhere, not a Jimi Hendrix type, the "legacy" section is just some random name-dropping. 217.180.228.138 (talk) 21:30, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose RD on quality, lots of unsourced material. Oppose blurb the article is begging to explain the type of influence he might have - just saying other musicians found him an influence doesn't make him a great figure in terms of modern music. Masem (t) 22:50, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose RD various unsourced paragraphs. Oppose blurb he was not a household name and I do not seem to find anything why he should be blurbed. PrinceofPunjabTALK 03:21, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

The Legacy section listing people "acknowledging Eddy's influence" is extremely vague and not very encyclopedic.

- Oppose RD on current quality. Those are some high ass quotes which are not appropriate for a start. Oppose blurb as no sign he was consider a great figure.. Having numerous works or having several awards is not meeting the high bar we expect for blurbs. Did his writing or films massively change either industry? I'm not seeing any indication of that.

Nearly ready; some referencing still to do. Schwede66 21:34, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support I have done an overhaul and added references where they were missing in the poetry, plays, and librettos sections. I also addressed the cn tag in the background section. The article is now ready for RD IMHO, but further feedback is welcomed. FlipandFlopped ツ 03:07, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Good work, Flipandflopped. Came here to say the same; the article's now ready. Have added you to the credit line above for your efforts. Schwede66 03:18, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Blurb: Protests against the Israel-Hamas War shut down several college campuses in the United States. (Post)

Lead story on every news site now. --FelineHerder (talk) 23:20, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support ongoing – Constantly in the news, but there isn't really a central story for a blurb. I wouldn't oppose a blurb, though. DecafPotato (talk) 23:27, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Part of ongoing, and while there has been a lot of questionable actions, it has yet risen to where it should be its own blurb. --Masem (t) 00:44, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Unlike the mass graves nom below, these are definitively covered by ongoing, and not particularly materially different than any of the other protests during the war. The Kip 03:04, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per milionth time: covered by ongoing. And not that ITN-worthy. _-_Alsor (talk) 03:31, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose There have been protests in many countries about the war, we don't need to list it at ITN as soon as they happen in the US. AusLondonder (talk) 03:38, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose I echo the above. What makes a protest in the USA more significant than every other protest all over the world? HiLo48 (talk) 03:55, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- As an aside, the article does cover protests in other countries too. I would also say that the way the article is structured is poorly done - there are some of these protests that need to be called out in their own section like the UT Austin one, but most of the others just happened without any confrontation, and thus we don't need separate sections on each one - but as it is done now, it is the equivalent of a PROSELINE offense but applied to space and not time. That is, it is nowhere close to our best work. --Masem (t) 04:24, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, for now Although I would like to note that I disagree with the above statements that something like this could never be notable. There is evidence that this thing is expanding globally to other Universities outside of the United States. If it continues to grow in scale and pace to rival the Vietnam anti-war movement, then we should revisit. FlipandFlopped ツ 02:14, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support Ongoing and culturally significant to the extent that the project be remiss not to have an ITN item for it Dreameditsbrooklyn (talk) 02:39, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose because it is covered by ongoing. --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 10:07, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - it wasn't on 'every news site now' in the way the OP claims. But while this is an important story, I agree with other posters who point out that this is covered by ongoing. GenevieveDEon (talk) 10:33, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose it's a side-story to the war itself, we don't need to list every side-story to the war as well as the actual ongoing item for the war itself. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:35, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose "Students protest". Who knew? Making no practical impact on the overall conflict and not exactly the most unique ocurrance. Plus as above says, its already covered by ongoing. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 12:01, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

- Every single item aside from Haduh Aku di-Follow and the three-in-one Celana Pacarkecilku di Bawah Kibaran Sarung was already covered by the immediately preceding Kompas source. MI has been cited for Haduh, Kompas for everything else, and the tri-omnibus has been commented out (referencing the book itself is also an option, but given its status as a collection of previously published collections, it's not of the same prominence. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:47, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Crisco 1492: Somehow, if I go to translate.google.com and enter the Kompas url, it only shows two translated paragraphs. But if I look at the original, there's more paragraphs. I'll trust you that it's there. Sorry about that. —Bagumba (talk) 18:13, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- I think the way they've set up their paywall, it loads only the two paragraphs to start, checks if you meet certain criteria, and if you are allowed to read the whole thing it loads the remainder. Detik.com has a list, which I'll reference in the article. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:40, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
