Template:Archive top Template:ITN candidate

Support in principle, but currently oppose on quality / update grounds: It's in the news, but the article linked is a general one about weather records, and does not cover the current heat records, except as date entries in tables. Articles should have up-to-date relevant prose to be featured ITN, in my view. Sandstein 08:37, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes. The current blurb seems to be vague in that regard, I suspect we're talking about global average temperature, but it currently redirects to Global temperature record. Perhaps either a standalone article or a section inside existing one should be created. Brandmeister^talk 10:42, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support - in le news. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 09:11, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support, kind of surprised there is no ongoing story climate change, as it creates a new content for Wikipedia every single week :) Bart Terpstra (talk) 09:17, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Climate change is far too broad to be ongoing. No real start or end date, very loose definitions as to what constitutes it. Better to just leave it to the occasional blurb. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 09:23, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Anthropogenic effects leading to permanent changes in the climate.

And yes, sometimes it's harder to tell, but "record amount of hurricanes" or "warmest XYZ" is almost certainly climate change and would be encyclopedic. (but repetitive 🙂) Bart Terpstra (talk) 09:30, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Still too broad for ITN. It would practically be ongoing for the next 100 years. Not really what ITN is for. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 11:48, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow, it's too broad and common knowledge to be news, but i also still require sources to say it exists and is a cause for obvious things. Fun contradiction. Bart Terpstra (talk) 19:50, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know some don't believe it exists, but I don't get what we're supposed to do about that. ITN isn't for environmental PSAs exactly.

The reality is that it's too broad, there's nothing contradictory about that. It's so long-term it's comparable to putting the War on terror on ongoing between 2001 and 2021 since it was a regular recurring item. It was just too broad of an event.

It doesn't help that the notability of most climate-related blurbs comes from the impact of these climate events on human civilisation, rather than being linked to climate change itself.

I can see where you're coming from, but even if we were to put it on ongoing, it still wouldn't make sense as climate-related stories are very rarely brought up. Ongoing requires a very regular stream of updates to its target article. In regards to protests or wars, we usually need very regular day-to-day updates on the article and recent developments.

For example, we took off the Israeli judicial reform protests since, while there still are lots of protests in Israel, there are not enough regular updates to warrant it being still 'Ongoing'. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 18:41, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per above. However agree with Sandstein that we should improve the target article. — Czello ^(music) 09:22, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support once target article is suitable. Whatever happened to (or why can't we use) "Global Warming"? CoatCheck (talk) 13:58, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Global warming should be put into context in the blurb. Everyone knows it as a standalone term which is not news anymore. Brandmeister^talk 14:05, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would support this but agree that we need a better target article. I don't think any RS denies this is connected to global warming do that may make sense. --Masem (t) 14:21, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support this certainly seems to be ITN-worthy due to the fact that it's not everyday (hopefully) that a new "Hottest day, week, and month ever" comes to be, I would oppose Global Warming as ongoing, because it's too broad, and has been going on for a long time. Editor 5426387 (talk) 14:31, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support in principle However unless I’m missing something, neither of the articles have this in them. Also there needs to be a citation for the causal links mentioned in the blurb. 2A00:23C5:5082:6101:2976:4C03:A0E4:E7F5 (talk) 16:58, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above, but article needs improvement. Nascar9919 (talk) 17:00, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support on notability, Oppose on quality Not a frequent occurrence, but as stated above, the articles need updating. The Kip (talk) 19:37, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Extremely warm temperatures all over the northern hemisphere, and the North Atlantic. Even for the global warming increases, this year has been extreme and a (hopefully) an outlier. Post when article is improved. Nfitz (talk) 21:18, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Hardly opposing on notability, but I have to agree that neither the current blurb nor the target article are sufficient at this time. The former can be rectified, perhaps, but it may be hard to find a sufficient article for this nom, barring the creation of a particular one for these records. DarkSide830 (talk) 22:08, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support notability, oppose quality Lots and lots of orange tags that need to be addressed. No doubt that this is notable for ITN though. TwistedAxe [contact] 22:11, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support on notability, oppose on quality per above. It's unclear what article is supposed to be the target here. The Articles section of the nomination says Weather of 2023, but this is not linked to in the blurb (makes sense, as it's the one in the worst shape at the moment). List of weather records, Global warming, and El Niño are in good shape, but lack prose about the story. Vanilla Wizard 💙 23:24, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
El Nino wouldn't be good as this (even if the yearly version) because this has global effects and El Nino is generally North and South America only (eg the Pacific Ocean) Masem (t) 00:51, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies if my comment was unclear, I only mentioned the state of the El Niño article because the proposed blurb links to it; I was not proposing to make that the target. Vanilla Wizard 💙 01:56, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose on grounds of quality. It's nclear which article(s) should be targeted, and there are many orange tags that need fixing. – dudhhr^talk _contribs (he/they) 05:37, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Candidate articles

As noted from the outset, the challenge here is finding the best target article. So far, the only article I've found with an update is Weather of 2023. Possible candidates include:

Template:Anl
Template:Anl
Template:Anl
Template:Anl
Template:Anl
Global warming – redirects to climate change
Template:Anl
Template:Anl

We should figure this out because we're only halfway through the year and there's more to come. I had hoped that some weather specialist editor(s) might help but I suppose they are mostly out enjoying the warm weather. :)

In the meantime, the article that's getting most attention from our readership is El Niño. See stats.

Andrew🐉(talk) 07:18, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can't get on board with any of these. Most of them are too broad to reasonably list these record, and as PC notes below, lists probably aren't great targets either. The obvious issue with most of these is that, should these record be broken again, the current record will likely be removed from the article, which is not really an issue for the life of the item while it is at ITN, but is a concern worth noting as well. DarkSide830 (talk) 18:10, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support on notability, oppose on quality. A list "article" is not really informative for such news.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 18:02, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose — Hottest on record so far. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 19:54, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Why even post records at all then? What a silly rationale. An unprecedented breaking of a historical temperature record and you just blow it off like it's a hot-dog eating record. Cheers, ⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 20:21, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know. It's not unprecedented for late July to top early July, or for mid-August to be "a real scorcher" (relatively). Anyway, Strong Neutral. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:55, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Template:Tq - I see someone just got back from a vacation to Switzerland! Cheers, ⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 12:31, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see you when this is nominated next year. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 02:16, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support in principle - not inherently opposed to posting the list, but I can't find where it mentions global temperatures. Seems to do a lot of talking about hottest/coldest per continent, and not much else. A bolded link to climate change (an FA) could work if it's updated to include this information, but that might be outside its scope. Anarchyte (talk) 07:41, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support, in early August As uploader of File:07 July - Percent of global area at temperature records - Global warming - NOAA.svg (shown above by nominator), I think we should wait until July 2023 data becomes available from NOAA in a few weeks, when I will update the chart to show July 2023 data. It's July 2023 that is breaking records more than any month to date. Note related ITN candidates: "Ongoing: 2023 heatwaves" and "2023 European heat waves". On principle, I'd prefer Climate change as a destination article, though List of weather records, with this image when updated, is more specific for ITN purposes. —RCraig09 (talk) 04:27, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(Closed) 2023 Vilnius summit[edit]

Wait Until the summit has actually occurred. Currently, the article has nothing detailing what is going on, because it isn't going on. (Side note: the article you put at the top of the ITN candidate template is always bolded.) Cheers, atque supra! Fake scientist 8000 01:22, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Our past approach to any such world leader meeting is to see if there are any significant achievements made by the end of the event and then we'll post that. It should be clear that either Ukraine or Sweden joining NATO is very much ITN-quality material, but we need a definitive on that. Masem (t) 01:22, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Masem, @Fakescientist8000 Ok, understood :) I'm new to this whole ITN thing, and I do certainly agree that Ukraine or Sweden joining NATO would be certainly ITN-worthy. In the meantime, I will continue editing and updating the article. — Prodraxis {talk • contributions} (she/her) 01:29, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose unless something comes out of it. Banedon (talk) 01:24, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wait Until after the summit, if anything were to come out of it. Editor 5426387 (talk) 03:44, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support more in the news and influiental than some of the events currently in ITN.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 04:55, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose These summits are exactly the kind of things that we don't and should never post. If they agreed to admit Sweden in NATO, we can post it when the country actually joins.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 06:43, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support -- influential and important, and has the potential to finally see Sweden join NATO. -- Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 06:58, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Totally agree with Kiril Simeonovski. I've been watching this space for when the inevitable nom would come, and this is not on the ITN level. I'll be back to support a blurb when we Sweden actually joins NATO. cart-Talk 07:43, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support It's in the news and the article is looking good for a new article with 50 editors, 44 citations and lots of content. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:29, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. It's important world news, the article is decent, and there's little else to post currently. Bolsonaro, France, etc. are already yesterday's news. Sandstein 08:32, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We don't make exceptions to what we normally don't post just because the current period in news is slow or stale. That's a slippery slope for several other major exceptions. Masem (t) 12:06, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose until there's a significant result (Sweden/Ukraine joining). Perhaps consider removing some of the older stuff from the box? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 08:54, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose all talk, but nothing changes as a result. Also since Russia's invasion such meetings are WP:ROUTINE. Abcmaxx (talk) 09:07, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Covered by ongoing, literally just a meeting of global leaders, like G7. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 09:13, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose routine and meeting is not noteworthy, only potential conclusions would be noteworthy. Bart Terpstra (talk) 09:27, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Plenty of media coverage [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. The summit is already significant for opening a way for Sweden to become a NATO member. It is also significant as unprecedented NATO support for Ukraine is being announced. Mindaur (talk) 09:36, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
3, 7, 8, 10, 13 fail verification, they link to a Ukraine war news feed. it's not a link to an article about the summit.

6, 9, 11, 12 fails relevance, the news story is Turkey becoming approving of Sweden or something else adjacent, not the summit, the summit is more of an afterthought. Bart Terpstra (talk) 09:45, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is not argued by how many references there are. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 16:30, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - All of the coverage. None of the outcomes/deliverables. CoatCheck (talk) 14:00, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, it's just a meeting. Post sweden/ukraine when it joins NATO (a la finland, or a la croatia joining EU). QueensanditsCrazy (talk) 14:30, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose barring something significant happening, such as Sweden or Ukraine being formally admitted. Otherwise, it's just a meeting, like the G7 summit we decided not to post. The Kip (talk) 20:03, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated it today. Just check the edit history. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 20:41, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, I mean in terms of recent protests. It has been now, but at the time of writing my comment the last update on the protests was on July 1st. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 14:14, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, isn't it still July 10th? PrecariousWorlds (talk) 16:29, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The opposes per "not updated" and "per above" are invalid as the article is getting updated. I am contesting the close but I do not know how.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 03:31, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have reopened the discussion as I have updated the article before and after the nomination. The article also received regular major (more than a 500 bytes) updates in the month of July here, here, here, here, by different editors in the month July. Some even specifically mentioning protests in July. So the votes with arguments like the article has not been updated in 10 days or there is nothing since the 1 of this month and the per above arguments I don't see as valid points to make.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 06:09, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's still absolutely nothing on anything that happened in between the 1st and 11th, and you've failed to demonstrate it's still getting wide coverage. Your opinion of/disagreement with "invalid points" is not grounds to re-open the discussion. As such, this should be re-closed. The Kip (talk) 19:41, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@The Kip Check the edit from the 1 July which treats protests of the 1st of July with the edit summary add 1 July events. 130'000 people...then the edit from the 6th of July on protests of the 5th of July. Then the one from the 11 July for the protests of the 11 July. All of them not my updates, with mine it would be way more. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 22:51, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article is poorly structured as that last section seems to be a chronological order of protests ... which are already discussed in the timeline of the protests? There needs to be a lot of improvement in the article to consider this, particularly if the most current events elevate it to ongoing when really the big issue started around January? Masem (t) 00:55, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that later sections need to be reworked. I've removed some dubiously notable sentences from the article and will do another round soon. Frankly, i weak support the inclusion of the protests in the 'ongoing' section in light of recent events. If the issue's a lack of updates, i hope someone steps up to fix that Totalstgamer (talk) 10:06, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I can understand that the frequnecy of updates here is somewhat borderline, but it's very clear the significance and recency of these protests. I personally see the updates that have been made recently as sufficient for posting. DarkSide830 (talk) 00:40, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose for now. Appears to have been only two events in the past 2 weeks, which are only covered by two small updates. Also, article has major quality issues, mostly of the usual WP:PROSELINE problems that plague these kinds of articles; the lazy "On XX Date..." writing needs to be fixed and put in a more natural narrative flow. --Jayron 32 14:19, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If this is about the 2023 Uzbek presidential election, this should be reflected in the blurb language. Still ITN/R even if it's a sham election (we post them for Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, etc). Blurb shouldn't be RGW. I'd say I support on notability as it's still a general "election", but that's what ITN/R is for. It's definitely not ready on quality, though. Counted 8 sentences in the article across 3 sections.

(Closed) Ongoing removal: Russian invasion of Ukraine[edit]

Strong oppose Absolutely not. Still big updates happening, the war is still having a worldwide impact, and there is no signs of it ever slowing down. Just to give another perspective, we had COVID in ongoing for like two or three years before we removed it. TwistedAxe [contact] 12:28, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I get the idea, but its still relevant. I still see it the news, but the big updates may just be "smaller" than say a year ago. Maybe a discussion could be held though that maybe the article should be moved to the more relevant counteroffensive though.

TheCorriynial (talk) 12:40, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose, but change the name - I agree that the war has slowed down, but it has continuously been front-page news for the last year-and-a-half. Go to the main page of any news outlet, I guarantee there's at least one article about the conflict at the top. Removing the COVID-19 Pandemic from ongoing was due to the fact that it was hardly being covered by the news in any major way, and it was becoming more clear by the day that COVID-19 would become endemic, similar to the Flu.

There is no indication that the same will happen with the Russo-Ukrainian War. It has only escalated since the initial invasion, from the missile strikes in Poland, to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant crisis, to the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka Dam, to the Wagner Rebellion. It is clear that the war is still going on and in increased severity.

Now, I do agree that the item 'Russian invasion of Ukraine' is becoming a little outdated now, and I think changing the ongoing title to 'Russo-Ukrainian War' would be best, though this change will probably need to be reflected in the target articles. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 12:48, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change name to Russo-Ukrainian War Braganza (talk) 12:52, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(Closed) Workshop: What should the target article in ongoing be?[edit]

Considering that there is initially a unanimous opposition to removal but some support for changing the target article, it stands to reason to discuss this in more detail. Potential alternative target articles include:

Alt1: Ukrainian counteroffensive
Alt2: Russo-Ukrainian War
Alt3: Russian invasion of Ukraine (8 June 2023 - present)

Feel free to nominate more alternatives. Your opinions are welcome.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 12:59, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the main article should be removed altogether. While nearly all now are aware of the main invasion article, it may still provide general context. We can have those specific trends in parentheses (e.g. amid recent announcement on cluster munitions), like Russian invasion of Ukraine (Ukrainian counteroffensive). There was no such dramatic and protracted precedent in Ongoing before, so showing major spinoffs in parentheses may be warranted. Brandmeister^talk 14:23, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Im actually kinda in this camp, since they suggested this, and it could possibly become a standard that could be used for more things down the road. although I'd probably put either the Ukrainian counteroffensive or the timeline. TheCorriynial (talk) 14:51, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Either this or Alt 3 seems best. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 06:57, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we should keep it as 'Russian Invasion of Ukraine' when the conflict has long transformed past that phase just because we want to make some moral point about the war. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 18:30, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support ALT2 - the invasion proper isn’t really ongoing anymore, as Russia’s failed to take substantial territory in recent times and it’s more of an occupation now. The Kip (talk) 16:19, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support ALT2 Braganza (talk) 17:37, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There was a discussion back in April by User:Interstellarity to add a timeline to the ongoing entry (at that time, it was Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (12 November 2022 – present), obviously now renamed). The proposal failed to garner consensus, though a key thing to note is that proposal called for it to be formatted as "Russian invasion of Ukraine (timeline)", whereas this is straight up swapping the main article with the timeline.

As for my vote, per ranked choice !voting,

Alt3: reiterating what I stated in the aforementioned discussion in April, the primary article doesn't really go into details about the actual offensives. If prose is more important, than...
Alt2: which has prose, but focuses on a specific aspect of the war instead of the broader theme.
Alt1: not receiving daily updates.

— Knightoftheswords 16:26, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support ALT2 It's important to always cover the more broader picture when discussing about something in Ongoing. Alt1 would only cover a small portion of the war, alt3 same thing but using the term "invasion" which really isn't suitable anymore considering it's getting more and more stale on the battlefield. Alt2 sums it up perfectly in my opinion, because it is a war that has been going on for over a year now and would also cover the other alts such as the Ukrainian counteroffensive aswell as the actual "invasion" itself. TwistedAxe [contact] 17:43, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How many times must we tell you that readership stats genuinely do not matter here? The Kip (talk) 02:05, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's not clear what matters here as the alternatives presented are wildly different. ALT1 is forward-looking, ALT2 is a broad historical perspective and ALT3 is a proseline ticker. The readership stats show which of these views is making the most impact and the existing link is clearly dominant. To present more varied perspectives, we would need a navigational template with multiple links as we did for COVID. If we're just presenting one link then it should be the big one that most people are looking for. Andrew🐉(talk) 07:52, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support ALT1 or ALT2, but a preference for ALT2 - Per above. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 18:31, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can see why people prefer ALT3, as it is pretty much the WP:COMMONNAME at this point, but I do think the nature of the conflict has shifted from the initial Russian invasion of the country to a prolonged occupation grinding down to trench warfare. It'd be equivalent to terming the entire Western Front of WW1 as the 'German invasion of France'.

If I was to cast ranked choice votes like Knight above, it'd be:

Alt2
Alt3
Alt1

PrecariousWorlds (talk) 18:34, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alt2 properly describes the overall event occurring. The invasion was always a piece of the larger puzzle, and to be honest it's been the target for way too long. Russia and Ukraine have been at war for over a decade, but I feel like people seem to believe the war only started with the invasion. DarkSide830 (talk) 19:16, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The war started in 2014, but it was added to “Ongoing” b/c of the invasion. I think that linking to the war would be overly broad. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 07:05, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So? The invasion is part of the larger war. If people want to look at more recent events they can navigate to them from there. DarkSide830 (talk) 18:05, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt2 basically describes what is currently happening, the war had stopped being an invasion since the recapturing of Kherson, and the Russo-Ukrainian War is basically what it has been since 2014, so I feel that "Russo-Ukrainian War" is basically the best title, for that the war has been ongoing for 9 years, and this phase of the war has been ongoing for over a year. Editor 5426387 (talk) 19:26, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Russia is still occupying Ukraine, and has done since 2014. If Ukraine was to start defeating Russia on Russian territory such as Belgorod or Moscow then it would be a war in the traditional sense. At the moment Ukraine is merely repelling invaders from its territory. Abcmaxx (talk) 21:30, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Alt 2. The Russo-Ukrainian War has been going on since 2014. Changing the ongoing link to that would be further expanding the scope of the link to not focus on current events. Keeping the link as is or linking to a more-focused timeline sub-article is fine. It seems people are arguing for what the invasion article's name should be, which shouldn't be done at ITN but via a RM. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 00:33, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep current target – Regardless of its title, Russian invasion of Ukraine is the article covering the phase of the war from February 2022 to the present, including the recent counteroffensive and the Wagner rebellion. DecafPotato (talk) 06:08, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Changing my vote to Wait until the next general election. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 12:52, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support - The event regards one of the main players within the European Union, and considering also for how long Rutte has been in charge and the surprising results of the latest local elections in the Netherlands this crisis could pave the way for huge changes in the country. Fm3dici97 (talk) 20:31, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support on Significance. Not the typical sort of political crisis posted to ITN, but certainly seems significant enough nevertheless. Not too hot on the current blurb though.

DarkSide830 (talk) 21:51, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Conditional support and adding alt blurb - major political crisis in the Netherlands that could have major ramifications for years to come. Mark Rutte has been in power for a decade, so a resignation defintale means something; we posted the UK version of this last year as Precarious pointed out so it would be systemic bias to not do the same for the Batavians.

Oppose not on significance, but the fact that there is really no real coverage of the crisis in either of the given pages.

Davey2116 (talk) 00:37, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Again, as pointed out before -- there is nil but one sentence in the cabinet article and about three sentences in the lede of Rutte article which is nowhere near enough of a significant update for this, if this is really as significant as many of the support !votes say above. I expect a couple of paragraphs if not more to explain the background, the changes, the process of change, and any possible impacts on Danish and EU region this may have. --Masem (t) 01:32, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The general rule at ITN (conceding rare exceptions) is that we expect an event under nomination to rate its own article. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:34, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You wish. The lead blurb for over a week now has been about a court ruling on Jair Bolsonaro. That event not only doesn't have a separate article, it doesn't even have a separate section in his article. Andrew🐉(talk) 07:00, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, his biographical article dedicates a portion of the Post-presidency (2023–present) section to it. That's more than can be said about this proposed blurb as of right now. Vanilla Wizard 💙 07:15, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A separate article has never been the case for ITN. We expect a significant update, and while it would seem this type of event could warrant its own article, it is not required as long as we see paragraphs of content about this situation, if it is as severe and important as the !votes above suggest. The lack of any attempt to expand on this is worrisome. Masem (t) 12:08, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support on significance, but ~~oppose~~ on quality until at least one of the target articles has at minimum one paragraph of sourced prose about the news story. If I were a reader clicking on a bolded link in a news blurb about a political crisis, I'd expect to be able to read more about said political crisis. If/when the target article is updated (or if/when a new target article about the political crisis is created), consider my opposition dropped. Vanilla Wizard 💙 05:16, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose and snow close — Product announcements aren't suitable for ITN. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 19:17, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I also don't feel like this is "of this caliber" wrt the acquisition of Twitter, considering that was a major platform with a massive dollar amount and, even at the time, was believed to have major implications for a critical platform. I also feel like posting it to ITN would feel... I don't know. I can't get with the idea that we should post it bc it's a reaction to Twitter's dumpster fire, and it feels all routine coverage and it's in vogue to cover every little thing going on related to Twitter right now. ~Cheers, Ten Ton Parasol 19:30, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't rush to it, but I will leisurely oppose at this point because it is way too early to tell that this will be a major competitor to Twitter, even given the massive boom within its first day of launch. I think the notability of this really is, as TenTonParasol, subordinated to the notability of Twitter's major meltdown. Otherwise it's just a new social media service. Cheers, ⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 19:36, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose companies launch new services all the time, and that this is only getting attention due to the nonsense happening at Twitter doesn't make this any more special. Masem (t) 19:39, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support It's in the news as one would expect -- modern journalism seems to be largely driven by Twitter now. And the article is helpful in explaining that this new thing is essentially just an extension of Instagram, which helps me ignore it too. And it's a good trailer for the cage match which sounds much more interesting. Andrew🐉(talk) 19:59, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"And it's a good trailer for the cage match which sounds much more interesting" really hits the uncertainty I was expressing earlier. Posting this to ITN feels like, it's not literally promotional or RGW, but it feels inappropriate to me somehow to post it to ITN on the basis of highlighting the "stark differences" between how they're run or as a "trailer" for a different event entirely. An ITN bullet isn't for drumming up attention to other events and issues that aren't the thing at hand, however connected or adjacent those are. ~Cheers, Ten Ton Parasol 20:34, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I don't think this rises to the level of ITN regardless of how major a country it happened in. As far as I can see the controversial payments total less than €1m over a number of years? Obviously big news in Ireland at the moment because of the latest revelations, but this story has been rumbling along for a good part of this year. Black Kite (talk) 19:09, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm not seeing much coverage of this outside the UK and Ireland. I do see one article from France last month briefly discussing it, but that's stale. I disagree that we'd be posting this if it was from the CBC or NPR. For CBC, I don't recall anyone ever nominating the Ghomeshi scandal, for example. The use of the word 'fraud' in the blurb seems exaggerated. Nfitz (talk) 19:46, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ITN does not require widespread or international coverage; that helps with sourcing, but there can be major events outside the angelosphere that are not covered by BBC, NYTimes. etc. I can't tell at this time if this is such an event (would expect my point of conclusion would tell), though.

Oppose, my read of the badly written and poorly laid out article is that the RTÉ was overpaying its top talent, presumably to retain them. Any scandal is the result of the public nature of the funding, or more precisely, the lack thereof. This is a tempest in a teapot, with politicians trying to make the RTÉ look bad so that their decision to cut funding is ignored. Abductive (reasoning) 06:31, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for now (as updater) as there was a rather large passage that was an exact match with Shenzhen Daily text in English, which suggests there may be other copyvio and close paraphrasing issues throughout.

Iran joins SCO[edit]

Oppose I mean... good for Iran I suppose, but I don't see how this has any long-lasting impact in the long term. TwistedAxe [contact] 23:51, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This could definitely have more significance than a lot of entries here, like if Sweden joins NATO. However article quality is not sufficient for posting on the main page. - Indefensible (talk) 00:03, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see how this has any more significance than a country abandoning its 200-year long neutrality policy and providing NATO with greater geographical leverage. That, unlike this, has more impact long-term due to possible future conflicts with Russia. TwistedAxe [contact] 01:15, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely could be argued either way. Sweden only has a population of 10 million whereas Iran has over 80 million though, so a lot more people are in the country involved. - Indefensible (talk) 01:48, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose on quality The orange tag, 7 cn tags and 3 bsn tags should be addressed before we consider posting. Scientia potentia est, -MonarchOfTerror^(talk) 00:36, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support on significance as this is the largest regional organisation in the world in terms of population, area and total GDP. With all resemblance to the European Union in its early stages, if we could post the accession of new EU member states, any objection to posting accession of new SCO members states on significance would be pure POV.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 07:03, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It's amusing to read the SCO's previous condemnation of Iran's policies in the UN. And to note that their main military arm is called RATS ("I can't think of anything worse than a skull ... Um, a rat's..."). Anyway, the headlines that I'm seeing in the news for the SCO summit are more diverse: "At SCO meet, India refuses to back China’s BRI project", "SCO summit: Putin says sanctions making Russia stronger", "SCO Summit: Modi says ‘some countries’ are terror havens as Pakistan PM looks on". I don't get the impression that adding Iran to this club is going increase their "cooperation". It seems about as fraternal and collaborative as Wikipedia... Andrew🐉(talk) 08:19, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  How about that. In reading the article and its supporting references, I'm surprised to discover that "defense pact" and "defense organization" really are two different things. That'll teach me to learn to read! Cheers, ⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 12:34, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose on signfiicance = I don't even see this on (the front page of) Al Jazeera news. More subjectively, I have never heard of the SCO so I'm not sure it's a very relevant geopolitical pact. I might subjectively put it below Five Eyes in importance, and I wouldn't even post a (hypothetical) news event for a country joining five eyes, for example. QueensanditsCrazy (talk) 16:45, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to gauge the validity of this statement, as it's in the Warsaw Pact article and it's a statement with a CN tag: Template:Tq I had imagined SCO as being a parallel to the Warsaw Pact to effectively operate as a counter-NATO organization. Again, if we are posting news stories about membership in NATO (we nominated one particular such event like three or four times at different stages of joining), then why would we withhold similar news items regarding the SCO? Yes, the world's most well-known English-speaking economic superpower is not a member state, but China, India, and Russia are not small powers. To me, this seems like naked Eurocentrism, but perhaps I am missing something. Cheers, ⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 18:08, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The SCO is not a military alliance. There is some military cooperation, but if one country gets invaded the others are not treaty-bound to assist. Therefore it is not the same as the Warsaw Pact or NATO. Banedon (talk) 02:06, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, my first reaction to "I have never heard of the SCO" is "wow, you are ignorant". Banedon (talk) 02:06, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea what the SCO does. I have never in my life seen it in a news article. It is not relevant, and being the succesor to the more relevant (for its time of course) CSTO does not impart notability. SCO is simply not notable to me at all. I searched for SCO and Shanghai Cooperation Organization on SCMP and Al Jazeera too and didn't get many results - seems like it's not relevant in the non-West either. QueensanditsCrazy (talk) 15:22, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The SCO is certainly not the equivalent of NATO or the former Warsaw Pact. It includes Pakistan and India (can anyone really believe they would come to each other's military assistance?) as well as China and India (dito). It's not like the EU either (or ASEAN or Mercosur for that matter), where dozens of treaties have weaved together an economic trading block. In the case of the EU, it goes even further, with member states having handed over part of their sovereignty to the supranational organisation. The SCO is not much more than a talking shop, like so many others in the world, and this news is not particularly relevant. Khuft (talk) 19:03, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would point out that the following: Template:Tq is not true at all, that is not how the EU works and you should probably strike this bit out. Abcmaxx (talk) 16:04, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, the ability to regulate your own currency is a part of a country's sovereignty, so he isn't wrong. Plus all the stuff about EU member states having to abide by the Treaty on European Union. AryKun (talk) 18:35, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I guess this is big news for Iran, but this certainly does not have any major impact on the world, and this does not seem significant enough to post. Editor 5426387 (talk) 19:42, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support The SCO has four nuclear powers and half the world's population. Banedon (talk) 02:06, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Yes I understand its not NATO, nor will it ever likely become a rival organization to NATO in terms of scale or structure. Yes I also understand the significance of Sweden ascending to become a member of NATO after centuries of neutrality, and am not arguing that this news about IRAN is anywhere near as significant. There is no point in comparing the two. But there are many many discussions on this forum about ITN becoming more representative of global news (a noteworthy goal) Including news about an organization that covers 40% of the world's population and 1/3 of the global economy is certainly a step forward in that direction. Schwinnspeed (talk) 15:49, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

being more global should not be at the cost of giving false equivalency to nominations though. Abcmaxx (talk) 16:04, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Considering Iran's foreign policy over the last few decades, joining the SCO is really not a major or surprising development. --StellarHalo (talk) 20:40, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose on quality and significance the organisation is barely notable, and is basically a poorly made Russian knock-off of a trade block, same as that cheap Gucci handbag at your local flea market isn't the same as the handbag from the Gucci store in central Milan. Russia can only trade with a handful of authoritarian states so choosing Iran out of a choice of countries such as Eritrea, Cuba, or North Korea isn't very surprising or has any geopolitical impact. Article quality is also poor. Abcmaxx (talk) 15:56, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose So Iran, Pakistan, Russia, and China can now discuss... counterterrorism and cybersecurity. This is literally the most pointless Organization I’ve ever seen and has zero economic or military requirements to join; posting a new addition to SAARC or ASEAN would be more worthwhile. AryKun (talk) 03:19, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support I added some sourcing and improved the existing ones a bit. I still can't find a source which confirms the lodges they were a part of, so if someone else with knowledge on scouting wants to take a look I'd appreciate it. Deauthorized. ^(talk) 22:02, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Deauthorized - It's not someone with a knowledge of just Scouting you need there. It's someone with a knowledge of both Scouting AND lodges. Such people are quite rare. I know that to those involved in freemasonry and similar movements, such things are very important, but in the modern day, they are quite obscure. Removing such content from the article would do little harm, and have the article better follow our rules. HiLo48 (talk) 22:58, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Subsequent ones would be more notable if they hadn't become so routine. We're even at the point where you couldn't put "US gun violence epidemic" or something in the ongoing line because the prevalence of mass shootings seems so much a part of life, the overwhelming number of shootings itself is no longer news.

As I stated in the talk page for this article, would you state the same if it occured in a western country? - Knightoftheswords (Talk · Contribs) 19:32, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We should have a high threshold for traffic accidents as they are commonplace everywhere. For example, just now in the UK a major motorway will be closed for much of the day after the spectacular crash of a milk tanker. It's getting plenty of headlines – "M6 gridlocked after milk tanker flips over central reservation in horror crash" – but it's still just a classic WP:NEWSEVENT. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:21, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I believe this would pass such a threshold as there are 49 dead. Aaron Liu (talk) 20:24, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as a news story with no broader significance. Also, we really need to decide what sort of scope we're looking for when posting items. It doesn't make any sense to oppose something because it only affects a few million people in one country, but then to turn around and support something that only affects a few hundred people in one city. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:33, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Tq This is unavoidable as comparing one type of news story to a different type of news story is always an apples to oranges comparison. Every political decision in any large country affects millions of people, but a historic natural disaster may only have a double or triple digit death toll. This doesn't make the former more blurbworthy than the latter. Vanilla Wizard 💙 22:16, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Alternatively, it might mean the natural disaster isn't that "historic" after all. There's a bad habit on Wikipedia of confusing "interesting thing that happened" with "thing that has lasting historic significance". Thebiguglyalien (talk) 02:26, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support in principal, ~~oppose on quality~~ - that's a huge death toll period, but it's especially high for a road accident.

Really? English is one of Kenya's two official languages. Millions of Kenyans use English Language Wikipedia. Is is just as much home to them as it is to you.

My goodness, HiLo. I know Kenya is an English-speaking nation, I'm talking about the types of countries most ITN/C editors are from. I know what countries the regulars here are from. (see also: idiom "close to home") I know most of us are British or Americans, and I know that you know that, too, as you never miss an opportunity to remind us.
