			*'''Support''' Completely disagree with {{u|SimpleSubCubicGraph}} above. The opposite is true: the end of Trudeau is the exciting story which is ITN; the appointment of the temporary LPC replacement in a couple months after the LPC election is the formality which is relatively less important. To the point of {{u|Ad Orientem}}, although this will effectively result in "a double post" when Canada's new prime minister is inaugurated (probably after an LPC leader election), this is justified in the circumstances because each event is independently ITN and notable. Trudeau's resignation marks "the end of an era" of 10 years of LPC rule with him at the helm. He, Trudeau the individual, has been at the heart of a highly publicized dispute with the American President. It is evident to me that there is a high level of international buzz about the "end of Trudeau", which might not be present anymore when we find out who the new Liberal is that will temporarily replace him for a few months prior to the Fall election. I therefore support posting now. ]]] ] 18:22, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Page for suggesting items for "In The News"

• WP:ITN/C

This page provides a place to discuss new items for inclusion on In the news (ITN), a protected template on the Main Page (see past items in the ITN archives). Do not report errors in ITN items that are already on the Main Page here— discuss those at the relevant section of WP:ERRORS.

This candidates page is integrated with the daily pages of Portal:Current events. A light green header appears under each daily section – it includes transcluded Portal:Current events items for that day. You can discuss ITN candidates under the header.

Joseph Aoun Joseph Aoun (pictured) is elected president of Lebanon after a two-year vacancy. A series of wildfires in Southern California, United States, leaves 5 people dead and forces more than 180,000 others to evacuate. A 7.1-magnitude earthquake hits Tingri County in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China, leaving at least 126 people dead. Indonesia becomes a full member of BRICS. Justin Trudeau announces his intention to resign as prime minister of Canada. Ongoing: Israel–Hamas war Russian invasion of Ukraine timeline Sudanese civil war timeline Recent deaths: Rosita Missoni Brian Matusz Jean-Michel Defaye Ágnes Keleti Ripken Wayne Osmond Nominate an article view — page history — related changes — edit

Glossary Blurbs are one-sentence summaries of the news story. Altblurbs, labelled alt1, alt2, etc., are alternative suggestions to cover the same story. A target article, bolded in text, is the focus of the story. Each blurb must have at least one such article, but you may also link non-target articles. Articles in the Ongoing line describe events getting continuous coverage. The Recent deaths (RD) line includes any living thing whose death was recently announced. Consensus may decide to create a blurb for a recent death. All articles linked in the ITN template must pass our standards of review. They should be up-to-date, demonstrate relevance via good sourcing and have at least an acceptable quality. Nomination steps Make sure the item you want to nominate has an article that meets our minimum requirements and contains reliable coverage of a current event you want to create a blurb about. We will not post about events described in an article that fails our quality standards. Find the correct section below for the date of the event (not the date nominated). Do not add sections for new dates manually – a bot does that for us each day at midnight (UTC). Create a level 4 header with the article name (==== Your article here ====). Add (RD) or (Ongoing) if appropriate. Then paste the {{ITN candidate}} template with its parameters and fill them in. The news source should be reliable, support your nomination and be in the article. Write your blurb in simple present tense. Below the template, briefly explain why we should post that event. After that, save your edit. Your nomination is ready! You may add {{ITN note}} to the target article's talk page to let editors know about your nomination. The better your article's quality, the better it covers the event and the wider its perceived significance (see WP:ITNSIGNIF for details), the better your chances of getting the blurb posted. Purge this page to update the cache Headers When the article is ready, updated and there is consensus to post, you can mark the item as (Ready). Remove that wording if you feel the article fails any of these necessary criteria. Admins should always separately verify whether these criteria are met before posting blurbs marked (Ready). For more guidance, check WP:ITN/A. If satisfied, change the header to (Posted). Where there is no consensus, or the article's quality remains poor, change the header to (Closed) or (Not posted). Sometimes, editors ask to retract an already-posted nomination because of a fundamental error or because consensus changed. If you feel the community supports this, remove the item and mark the item as (Pulled). Voicing an opinion on an item Format your comment to contain "support" or "oppose", and include a rationale for your choice. In particular, address the notability of the event, the quality of the article, and whether it has been updated. Please do... Shortcut WP:ITNCDO Pick an older item to review near the bottom of this page, before the eligibility runs out and the item scrolls off the page and gets abandoned in the archive, unused and forgotten. Review an item even if it has already been reviewed by another user. You may be the first to spot a problem, or the first to confirm that an identified problem was fixed. Piling on the list of "support!" votes will help administrators see what is ready to be posted on the Main Page. Tell about problems in articles if you see them. Be bold and fix them yourself if you know how, or tell others if it's not possible. Please do not... Shortcut WP:ITNCDONT Add simple "support!" or "oppose!" votes without including your reasons. Similarly, curt replies such as "who?", "meh", or "duh!" are not helpful. A vote without reasoning means little for us, please elaborate yourself. Oppose an item just because the event is only relating to a single country, or failing to relate to one. We post a lot of such content, so these comments are generally unproductive. Accuse other editors of supporting, opposing or nominating due to a personal bias (such as ethnocentrism). We at ITN do not handle conflicts of interest. Comment on a story without first reading the relevant article(s). Oppose a recurring item here because you disagree with the recurring items criteria. Discuss them here. Use ITN as a forum for your own political or personal beliefs. Such comments are irrelevant to the outcome and are potentially disruptive. Suggesting updates There are two places where you can request corrections to posted items: Anything that does not change the intent of the blurb (spelling, grammar, markup issues, updating death tolls etc.) should be discussed at WP:Errors. Discuss major changes in the blurb's intent or very complex updates as part of the current ITNC nomination.

• Support on notability, notwithstanding whether this counts as WP:ITN/R or not. Oppose on quality, with election article in particular needing some tidying up. Yo.dazo (talk) 13:21, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

  @Yo.dazo I think it's fine now. Can you point out anything for me? Prodrummer619 (talk) 13:42, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

  Some paragraphs are still written like the election is still ongoing. Also every election session getting its own subsection is overkill—that could definitely be condensed into larger subsections and a single table for every round of voting. Yo.dazo (talk) 15:14, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support, this is highly remarkable and not just some run-of-the-mill election. Lebanon is notorious for its political deadlock, to which this is a surprising exception. Article also looks pretty clean. Skimming it, I saw no major issues and fairly good sourcing. The thirteen rounds of vote tables might be excessive, but are no reason to prevent this nomination from succeeding. Toadspike 14:42, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
• Support Important election that can change the Middle East geopolitics. ArionStar (talk) 15:36, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
• Support Would like to see a bit of content on the aftermath of Aoun's election today, but the article's in a good enough state to post regardless. The Kip 18:00, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
• Support This is important for the destiny of Lebanon and also the Middle East in general (war with Israel, weapons of Hezbollah, Syria, Iran...) Also, the article quality looks good enough to me. Tradedia 18:24, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support finally, after 13 sessions, Lebanon has a president again, hopefully the political crisis there can start to be solved. Scuba 19:18, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
• Support - no ordinary Lebanon election. Important for both the Middle East and geopolitics at large. Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 20:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Strong oppose I wouldn’t even say the article is ready for main space. We also almost never post about wildfires. E_F 00:43, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

I still strongly oppose. Wildfires routinely go over 30,000 acres (heck, we didn't even post about the 300k+-acre Park Fire last year), yet we don't post about those. Media is doomcasting the entire fire, and is highly exaggerating its impactsE_F 18:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

  Support 5 deaths, significant news coverage and 1,100 structures destroyed. This is also threatening populated areas. TheHuman630 (talk) 02:35, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose Even considering the second article, we'd not post a wildfire of this size unless it started significant destruction or lives lost. Its only getting attention because its close to LA. --Masem (t) 01:10, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

  I am going to stress that without any current major threat to life, the only reason this getting the size of coverage is dye to being close to LA, if wildfires if this Suze broke out anywhere else that wasn't near a major city, it would be in footnotes. This is an example of media bias we should try to avoid giving weight to. There may be a true major disaster if the fires get out of hand but it should be obvious that right now this is overly amplified by the media. Masem (t) 14:07, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

  Obviously ITN operates a bit differently from the rest of Misplaced Pages, but I think it's best to just say that these sorts of things are significant if and only if reliable sources are calling them significant — regardless of any WP:MINIMUMDEATHS or location criteria. And, right now, I think reliable sources are saying that. DecafPotato (talk) 17:48, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• Wait I'm re-opening this as it's the top story and live in both the BBC and NYT and there seems to be much more to come. It seems absurd to prevent discussion of such a hot topic. Note that there are multiple fires and so we should consider 2025 California wildfires to get the big picture. Coverage also keeps highlighting the Santa Ana winds as significant and so maybe that article should appear in the blurb as it's quite substantial and informative and so seems to have a good encyclopedic tone. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:57, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
• Wait It's too early to tell, but I feel like this should only be posted if it comes out that the damage is unparalleled in LA history or if it hits something important like the Getty Villa. (I sincerely hope neither of those should happen.) Should also say that the blurbs definitely need fixing. Yo.dazo (talk) 10:06, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
• Wait I think it may be notable enough for a blurb, but it's too early to say for sure. Johndavies837 (talk) 11:08, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Comment Slight rewording and update of altblurb3 and including that two people died. 31.44.227.152 (talk) 18:39, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• Wait, today is an extremely critical fire weather day for the area around this fire. This could be something worth posting if all the pieces fall into the right place, but we won't know until they do (or don't). 4 thousand acres burnt is routine, but what might not be is 4 thousand acres at 0% containment before a full extremely critical day (followed by another critical day). Departure– (talk) 14:22, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Strong oppose posting this right this second now. Up to 5000 acres (nearly 3000 for the Palisades fire) but nothing seems out of the ordinary. Just a few months ago we had the Mountain Fire (2024) at nearly 10,000 acres and that was seen as relatively uncommon, so 5000 acres across 2 seems routine at the moment. I also feel this is getting a lot of coverage for being near Los Angeles - again, I see that as routine and sensationalized in nature. Departure– (talk) 18:25, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Not going to ask for a pull if this is posted. The Eaton Fire just exploded to >10,000 acres burnt, and directly downstream of it is metro Los Angeles. 0% containment, extremely critical fire conditions. Weak support. Departure– (talk) 19:36, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose not a significant destruction or lives lost. _-_Alsor (talk) 15:16, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
• Wait until more details emerge. I was about to oppose but it turns out that this is still a rapidly developing story – as of this writing, the fires are still ongoing and 0% contained – and while it does seem to be "routine" for now, this has the potential to become one of, if not the largest series of wildfires for this particular part of California. Vida0007 (talk) 16:21, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Changing my vote to support. This has definitely met the criteria for ITN, and has sadly become one of the most infamous wildfire events ever. Vida0007 (talk) 01:19, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Weak support Wildfires in California are common, but given the close proximity this fire is to LA (the second largest city in the U.S.) and how it's making global headlines, I am leaning to support this blurb. Article is also in good shape. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 16:36, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
• Support - Massive news coverage of devastating fires with over a thousand structures destroyed and huge evacuations. Two confirmed deaths so far. Waiting for more confirmed deaths or further damage seems wrong to me. Opposers unconvincing. Altblurb 3 looks best. Jusdafax (talk) 16:50, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
• Strong support One of the most historical events in Californian wildlife history, destroyed thousands of properties. Should absolutely be posted. The most famous event in the news right now. MAL MALDIVE (talk) 18:18, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support Main story on multiple news outlets, large wildfire even for California standards. Angusgtw (talk) 18:28, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose - we haven't posted similar fires in other countries, such as WP:In the news/Candidates/July 2024#(Closed) Jasper Fire. Also there's no indication about the death toll. Nfitz (talk) 18:34, 8 January 2025 (UTC) - change to Support - situation clearly has worsened, and deaths will likely grow. Nfitz (talk) 05:23, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

  As of right now, 2 deaths confirmed with several injuries. Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 18:56, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support Major news, major impacts, quality article to display. I'm unconvinced by OTHERSTUFF arguments about other fires or MINIMUMDEATH comments. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:55, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

  Muboshgu, Respectfully, if ITN regularly snow closes disasters with higher death tolls that involve non-white, non-American people in developing countries dying from floods or typhoons, but immediately "strong support" an average size wildfire which kills 1-2 Californian Americans, I do not see how we can "WP:POLICY" our way out of discussing this blatant double standard. Brushing it off as an "OTHERSTUFF" argument without addressing the substance of the systemic racism and bias accusations is a disservice to the encyclopedia and reduces public trust in the Misplaced Pages mainpage. I might even support this being on ITN in a microcosm, based on my own personal views that we should only really exclude things that are being reported in the media from ITN, in much more narrowed circumstances. However, the double standard is outrageous. FlipFlopped ツ 20:09, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

  I evaluate each item individually. Opposing newsworthy items because they are about the developed world is not the way to fight systemic bias. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:15, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• Soft oppose the BBC and British media shouldn’t used to assess whether American news has achieved global notability, we should be looking at English language media in various countries

Kowal2701 (talk) 19:12, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support article seems in decent shape - I've not been paying attention to the story so wanted to find out more and came to wikipedia - I believe the purpose of this page is to point at encyclopaedic articles that people will be looking for - this seems to fit the bill. EdwardLane (talk) 19:22, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
• Support. This is in the news and the article is in good shape. -- Tavix 19:30, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
• Strong oppose on principle. The death toll is 2 and the acreage is not anywhere close to record-breaking. As others have pointed out, there were significantly bigger American wildfires even in the past 12 months. We regularly reject storms and earthquakes that are similarly "usual", only damage a few thousand buildings, and kill 1-2 people. The only difference there is that these are from outside the USA. In fact, I have seen other noms where it is a typhoon or a flood in a developing country, but is SNOW closed - even despite the casualties or total damage costs from these disasters being over 10x higher than this fire. Given this, there is no plausible explanation for why this local wildfire affecting a single American city should now be posted. I am disappointed in the blatant U.S. centrism and bias which once again plagues ITN. FlipFlopped ツ 20:01, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

If you want record breaking, it has been reported that it may be the costliest wildfire on record. -- Tavix 20:09, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

The keyword is "may" and "plausible", not has. If it was the costliest, I'd support posting it, but right now nobody reports that it is in fact the costliest. E_F 20:14, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Either way, fair enough that the fire may or may not worsen to record-breaking levels. By nature the situation is rapidly evolving. I will strike my strong oppose and replace it with "Wait". My opposition is admittedly mostly a protest about a double standard given we regularly speedy close similarly deadly disasters, but I will not punish this article or those suffering from this fire especially if this continues to evolve and is clearly notable. FlipFlopped ツ 20:17, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Reuters and the AP find this damage estimate sufficiently credible to be notable, and not without reason, given that the outfit has been doing these estimates credibly for some time. Of course, any estimate of an event recent enough to be on ITN is going to say "may". Chris vLS (talk) 01:44, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Proposed an altblurb. Departure– (talk) 21:26, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

  I feel the wording makes it read a bit more like a news headline rather than a blurb. I also think including acres without unit conversions makes it a bit too US-centric given how English language Misplaced Pages is aimed at a global audience, but that's just my opinion. 31.44.227.152 (talk) 22:03, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose for now. Wait for the story to develop; it's receiving a lot of coverage in the US but few outside the continent. Some sources point to possibly being record-breaking in damage but remains unconfirmed. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 22:45, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• Comment - Death toll is now at five. Jusdafax (talk) 23:28, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
• Support I had closed this last night as premature. Unfortunately the situation has gotten extremely bad with at least 5 confirmed fatalities and an enormous amount of destruction. As of this post, the fires are still out of control and spreading. It is receiving significant coverage outside of the US. IMO this now meets our customary standards for a blurb at ITN. -Ad Orientem (talk) 00:48, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Strongly Support - 3 large, uncontained fires within the 2nd largest city in the United States. Widespread coverage among both domestic and international news agencies. - MaximumMangoCloset (talk) 01:44, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

  Comment Four large fires now, as of a few minutes ago, with mandatory evacuation issued for the Hollywood Hills now. --haha169 (talk) 02:19, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support this appears to be pretty major news now, due to its scale and the size of the city it is affected. David Palmer//cloventt 01:52, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Support - Majority of the opposition posted before the situation was getting increasingly worse. pauliesnug 01:55, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support per above. Large complex of fires that are notably urban-adjacent. In the context of impacts, perhaps they do not scale to where some of the fires we've posted in the past have, but with most of these fires completely uncontained, I don't think it's too CRYSTALly to say the impacts will reach that range eventually. DarkSide830 (talk) 02:14, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
• Support Significant coverage in the news - not just local american news sources either - for example, this is on the front page on Al Jazeera and Times of India. Schwinnspeed (talk) 02:23, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
• Strong Support, has had major impacts on one of the world's largest cities, and most culturally important cities in the anglosphere. While a death toll of five isn't particularly notable, there are over 100,000 displaced persons and "numerous injuries". –DMartin 02:25, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

The pedantic reason is that some of the fires are outside LA County, and some of the bigger ones are outside LA City. The probably real reason though is to simply avoid that exact pedantic argument from breaking out, plus it is future-proof. Yo.dazo (talk) 21:25, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support: "Life and career" section needs to be shortened or split, otherwise support as he's a polarising figure that's defined French far-right politics. Tofusaurus (talk) 13:11, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
  • Recent deaths are not posted per importance of the person, but for being of a sufficient quality to post. One could make the equally objective claim that he should not be posted as he was the biggest loser in the history of presidential run-offs, and French far-right politics could not be "defined" by him as his party grew after his daughter kicked him out. With due respect to the dearly departed, I don't think anyone ever suggested that Ripken (dog) transformed any aspect of life on planet Earth. Unknown Temptation (talk) 17:06, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
• Comment - a couple of the sections need more references, I've just tagged where. After that good to go, I'm not particularly bothered about the length of the "Life and Career" section, that's the meat of the article and as a whole it's hardly overlong. I would oppose a blurb, just in case anyone is thinking of proposing one! - he has been influential, but not on the level we'd usually blurb for.  — Amakuru (talk) 14:46, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
• Support per above. Pre-emptively strongly oppose any suggestion of a blurb. This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang (talk) 16:51, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
• Not Ready for the usual reason. If the article can be brought up to scratch, I would give a weak support for a blurb. His influence on far right politics extended well beyond France. -Ad Orientem (talk) 18:05, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose pretty much per Masem and Black Kite. The election was the right time to post this. Sorry, but we cannot compensate it not being posted with the inauguration.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 15:30, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support Article quality looks satisfactory and this is a significant event. Ideally we post elections, but since we are now double posting prime ministerial successions in Western countries, I'm having a hard time buying the rational in the opposing comments above. Sometimes the double standards around here become a bit too glaring. -Ad Orientem (talk) 18:09, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
  • The difference with prime minister resignations followed by the announcement of their successor months later is because there is a whole election aspect there. We have no idea who will replace Trudeau, for example. Once that election is done and the winner confirmed, we will post that, though not the day that they officially take office. — Masem (t) 18:49, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
  • Do you have a specific example of an inauguration that we posted to justify the claim for double standards? I remember to have recently opposed a similar nomination on Von der Leyen Commission II where the rationale for posting was similar as here, that is, to post it because we hadn't posted the election result. Note that this was in the European Union, which is in the Western world, so it's not true that we have double standards for Western countries.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 21:05, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

    I think it was clear that the election of the Von der Leyen Commission in November was posted because it was the election by the European Parliament (as a parliament can elect a PM) and not a presidential inauguration: the differences between the two events are enormous. _-_Alsor (talk) 23:17, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

    • It wasn’t posted, but you’re right. While it was also a formalisation of the results from a previous election, it included another vote by the European Parliament. This inauguration is a pure ceremonial event without any uncertainty. In two weeks, Trump will be inaugurated as president, and that also involves some uncertainty because there are procedural votes. Anyway, my point is that I cannot support such ceremonial event when I oppose any event following an election that formalises the result.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 23:45, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

    I am pretty sure we posted Barack Obama's inauguration as well as his election. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:25, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    • That was a mistake which we shouldn't repeat.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 10:28, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Oppose just because we didn't post the election doesn't mean we should break the norm and post the inauguration as a replacement. Scuba 19:35, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose per Masem ✈ mike_gigs _contribs 19:27, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
• Support in principle. If we didn't post at the time of the election, and the reason is for article quality, I think it's reasonable to post when the actual change of power happens. The blurb is a bit awkward, though. Maybe chance "with" to "while"? — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 00:51, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
• Support In principal. I think it would be nice to start blurbing notable inaugurations. This one is especially notable as it also reflects the country having a first female president. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 00:59, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

I was going off of the Daily Guardian article.

These might be the same but they're reported as two separate tremors. Departure– (talk) 04:48, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

The death toll has also risen to 36. I don't know the time in China but by the time we get the article to ITN quality the true death toll will be more clear.

Here are some article about this news. Seems like Indonesia is now a full member state of BRICS. --IDB.S (talk) 02:31, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

BRICS is a large supranational body. Indonesia joining BRICS is comparable in notability to a country joining the EU. --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 05:46, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

The countries of the EU are far more integrated with each other than the countries of BRICS. I would not say they're comparable at all. The EU is like the US, BRICS is more like NAFTA. --Rockstone 08:07, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

BRICS is not even like NAFTA, it's a talking shop with perhaps some joint financial institutions. It's probably more similar to the examples Gotitbro mentions below. CMD (talk) 09:04, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Support Significant development for an interational body which has received increasing news coverage in recent years. While we should be assessing this item on its own merits if comaprisions are to be made (beyond the EU etc.) would we post if a new member became a part of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, Commonwealth of Independent States, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation etc. For me the answer is yes as expansion among large interational organizations is not frequent and is always major news (also highlighted by the fact that our country articles highlight these organizations in their leads). Gotitbro (talk) 08:37, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

And the article appears fine enough for ITN to me. Gotitbro (talk) 08:38, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

There's 100+ such organisations and I'm not convinced that changes are always significant. For example, see Accession of Timor-Leste to ASEAN. Notice that this is a full and well-developed article about that addition but that we haven't posted it. The lack of an article for this Indonesia matter seems telling. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:13, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

ASEAN (a major economic block) and Timor Leste is one I would support posting when the accession happens . 100+ such organisations may exist but do any of them receive the same coverage as this one?, especially its recent expansion has been under much dicussion, see for instance britannica. Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates all joined last year, and that oppurtunity to post was apparently missed twice: Misplaced Pages:In the news/Candidates/August 2023#BRICS Expansion and Misplaced Pages:In the news/Candidates/January 2024#BRICS Expansion with similar arguments based on the organization's politics rather than the significant news coverage of its expansion.

As for the last point, ITN does not demand the creation of separate articles and an absence of it may point towards a lack of enwiki editors from Indonedia or those interested in the subject rather than a lack of notability. Gotitbro (talk) 16:55, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

• Needs work The update seems perfunctory with no specific details of the politics and impact of this addition. And, it seems that there's a big bundle of countries in this latest wave: Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Thailand, Uganda, Uzbekistan. The different status of partner and full member seems opaque as the article says, "It is unclear whether the countries in this tier have received official membership invitations". Andrew🐉(talk) 08:57, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

  Not sure whether that is an RS, but the article makes it apparent these 'partners' are akin to observer states. Indonesia is the only latest member, as this article from AP makes clear "Indonesia’s candidacy was endorsed by BRICS leaders in August 2023, according to the foreign ministry of Brazil, which holds the group’s presidency for 2025. However, the world's fourth most populous nation opted to formally join the bloc only after the formation of its newly elected government last year." Further "Last year, the alliance expanded to embrace Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates. Saudi Arabia has been invited to join but has not yet done so. ... Turkey, Azerbaijan and Malaysia have formally applied to become members and a few others have expressed interest." Gotitbro (talk) 17:07, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

  The details seem vague because, as the article explains, "there is currently no formal application process to join BRICS". Per this source, "BRICS is an informal grouping, it has no founding treaty, secretariat supporting it or headquarters". Its effectiveness will thus depend on the quality of the rotating presidency. As it adds more minor countries, this will be increasingly volatile. Andrew🐉(talk) 18:20, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Strong Support on notability. Infer to others on quality of the article. ExclusiveEditor _{🔔 Ping Me!} 14:08, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support on notability, a major nation joining a major economic sphere. I find it funny that people are saying the absolutely huge and generally very high-quality BRICS article having a few CN tags makes this not ITN-worthy. --SpectralIon (talk) 21:31, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose on notability BRICS is nothing like ASEAN, EU, NATO, AU or CARICOM. It's China's and Russia's little project to try and score some political allies and try to emulate successful supranational organisations but it has very little relevance politically or economically, mainly due to the fact China, Russia, India and Brazil are not on equal footing in economics nor political clout, and they often have wildly conflicting interests, never mind the smaller members who are only there to make up the numbers. Abcmaxx (talk) 23:34, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

• Comment - format should be ALT2, per similar case of Boris Johnson in 2022. Trudeau isn't resigning yet, only announcing his intention to do so once a successor is chosen.  — Amakuru (talk) 16:22, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
• Comment It will take a few months for his replacement to be picked and will remain until then, so give that length of time this would be reasonable to post, though I have not had a chance yet to look at the article for quality. Masem (t) 16:23, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Wait Obviously a significant story that a long-term head of government resigns like this, but will need the article to be expanded further before it's ready to post. Gust Justice (talk) 16:48, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Weak Support - very notable, large worldwide influence, but article quality not amazing.

Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 17:01, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support. We posted the last four British PMs' announcements of intent to resign, (Truss , Johnson , May , Cameron ) even though their system allows for leaderships to happen within days and/or weeks. In Canada, Trudeau will remain PM until a the party membership elects a new leader, which will take at least a couple months. The news is the announcement that is itself the culmination of a month long political crisis in the country. Both articles seem largely fine, with a paragraph about the resignation itself and sourced. Reactions will come, but the news is the resignation not reactions. ---- Patar knight - /_{contributions} 17:03, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

  To add to this, ALT2 should be used, since it is an intention to resign, not the actual resignation. -- Patar knight - /_{contributions} 17:26, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

  Given that there appears to be a growing consensus in support of posting this, and apparently this was done with more recent UK PMs, are we now going to routinely double post changes in administration? i.e. An announced resignation or intent to resign, and then the successor? -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:31, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

  In this sort of circumstance, when the announcement and the change of office are significantly separate from each other in time, certainly. This is different from the installation of a new US president, which follows automatically in January after the November election, because there are two separate pieces of newsworthy content - the decision of Trudeau to resign, and the choice of his successor - which at this point we don't know. It would be a bit bizarre to stay silent on something that's unexpected front-page news across the globe, just because of the technicality that we know we're going to be back to post another update in a few weeks' time...  — Amakuru (talk) 17:36, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

  The key bit in this case and the UK PMs cases is not the resignation in of it self, but doing so amidst an ongoing political crisis of some sort. I imagine that the precedent being set would not be for all resignation announcements of ITNR political officeholders, since some may be fairly "normal" (e.g. resigning for health reasons totally unconnected to any political scandal) though I would be in support of that. -- Patar knight - /_{contributions} 22:33, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support This is a big development for Canada and North America as a whole. Joesom333 (talk) 19:21, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Oppose He literally could not hold power in office for much longer. He would be forced to step down in a few months, he just chose to do it right now. Also he will still remain in office for the duration of his tenure. Not that exciting, not that important. From canada's laws, this is was going to happen. SimpleSubCubicGraph (talk) 18:18, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Not to mention his "resignation" speech was that he was stepping down soon, not officially quitting. So the media is just playing it up for no reason and wikipedians fall for it. SimpleSubCubicGraph (talk) 18:19, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

I don't see your point. The announcement of resignation (not in quotes, since he did actually state that he intended to resign) is major news, regardless of whether it happens now, or in a few months time. ARandomName123 (talk) 19:36, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Are you seriously trying to argue that a longtime leader of a major nation stepping down is not major news because it was “going to happen anyways?” The Kip 23:06, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support Completely disagree with SimpleSubCubicGraph above. The opposite is true: the end of Trudeau is the exciting story which is ITN; the appointment of the temporary LPC replacement in a couple months after the LPC election is the formality which is relatively less important. To the point of Ad Orientem, although this will effectively result in "a double post" when Canada's new prime minister is inaugurated (probably after an LPC leader election), this is justified in the circumstances because each event is independently ITN and notable. Trudeau's resignation marks "the end of an era" of 10 years of LPC rule with him at the helm. He, Trudeau the individual, has been at the heart of a highly publicized dispute with the American President. It is evident to me that there is a high level of international buzz about the "end of Trudeau", which might not be present anymore when we find out who the new Liberal is that will temporarily replace him for a few months prior to the Fall election. I therefore support posting now. FlipFlopped ツ 18:22, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

  @Flipandflopped it doesnt really matter, Canada will become the 51st state and we dont cover governors resigning. SimpleSubCubicGraph (talk) 18:28, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

  @SimpleSubCubicGraph: I'm not sure if you're aware, but the word will refers to something that happens in the future, not the current situation... ARandomName123 (talk) 19:39, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

  I have no strong opinions on whether we should be double posting successions of this sort. There are some solid arguments on both sides. But I strongly believe we must be consistent. This can't just be for the UK and Canada. When the PM of South Ruritania announces their resignation with a multi-week wait for their successor to be names, that needs to get the same treatment. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:03, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

  @Ad Orientem the eurocentrism here is saddening SimpleSubCubicGraph (talk) 21:19, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

  I agree. Systemic bias has long been a serious problem on the project. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:33, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

  Canada is not in Europe. RachelTensions (talk) 23:10, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

  It's still Eurocentricism though. -- Rockstone 06:17, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

  I find Manitoba and the territories to still have their own things going in 2025 and BC to be more of an Asian outpost, but yeah, Trudeau's province has a Paris, London, Brussels, Athens and Zurich in it. InedibleHulk (talk) 14:57, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

  Assuming all other requirements are met, I would support such a resignation for any political officeholder to which ITNR applies. -- Patar knight - /_{contributions} 22:23, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

  You seem obviously bias towards Trump's expansionism Personisinsterest (talk) 00:39, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

  @Personisinsterest I'm perturbed how nobody seemed to raise note of the Canada will become the 51st state and we dont cover governors resigning comment. They tried to get WP:TDS deleted recently as well; between that and other generally poor behavior on ITN/C, wondering if a tempban from projectspace is in order. The Kip 08:24, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

  Yeah that might be a good idea. Definitely seems non-neutral. Personisinsterest (talk) 12:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support per FlipFlopped and others. It's in the news now. Khuft (talk) 18:27, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Weak support mostly because he's been prime minister of a G7 country for a decade now, kinda like Merkel. Would like to point out though that if consensus is to post about future important resignations, WP:ITN/R should be updated accordingly—in part so we can actually define what an "important resignation" actually is. Yo.dazo (talk) 18:28, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose. No reason not to wait until the actual leadership change occurs. Yes, it is news now. It will also most certainly be news when the official transfer of power occurs. DarkSide830 (talk) 18:34, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Well, one reason—this might take something like three months based on the prorogation, and in all likelihood will receive consistently high coverage during all that time. It would be odd to only bring up Trudeau's resignation on ITN months after it actually happened, and months after it actually was news. Hence why, as mentioned above, similar blurbs have been posted before for UK prime ministers. Yo.dazo (talk) 19:01, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support on notability, with no comment on article quality (haven't checked yet). I think I prefer Alt2 because Trudeau's tenure spans longer than 9 years, making the more generalized language preferable in this instance. Kurtis 21:30, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Comment Important to note that the article is up for deletion and the consensus is YES to not keep the article, so I think it should not be posted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SimpleSubCubicGraph (talk • contribs)
• Support, though the target article should be changed to Justin Trudeau#Resignation pending the outcome of the main resignation article's AfD. RachelTensions (talk) 21:39, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
• Posted, bolded Trudeau, until the resignation AfD is closed. Stephen 22:11, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

pull he is not head of state to be ITNR and there is not new PM even. the election is a while way away. We should post the confirmation that trump was officially elected POTUS today.Sportsnut24 (talk) 22:33, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Isn't that contradictory User:Sportsnut24? And I thought we'd already ITNed the result of the US election. Nfitz (talk) 22:37, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

This is not being proposed as an ITNR item, and even in that case, the criteria for politicians at ITNR is holder of the office which administers the executive of their respective state/government,, which for Canada, is the PM. The resignation itself is news. You are free to nominate the electoral vote count, but given that is usually routine that simply follows the November result, it will almost certainly not be posted. -- Patar knight - /_{contributions} 22:40, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Pull - he hasn't resigned, he announced his intention to resign. We should only post his successor. -- Rockstone 04:48, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
• pull per Rockstone. Trudeu has not resigned and we must await the appointment of his successor. The precedent with British prime ministers is a mistake. _-_Alsor (talk) 11:04, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Can you really call it a mere mistake when, as per Patar knight above, it's been consciously done four times already? It seems more like there's a new consensus now where certain types of resignation announcements can go on ITN. Yo.dazo (talk) 13:15, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support post-posting. If nothing else, Trudeau has suspended the parliament of Canada while a party proceeding takes places. I do think the blurb should mention the proroguing, but I do think the resignation announcement of a G8 leader warrants a blurb. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 00:36, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose Golden Globes are not an ITNR)(I know it wasn't nominated as such) but if we are going to post any winners from these they should match the categories that we use for Oscars and Emmys, which are generally unremarkable this year. Fine tuning which specific category to feature so to highlight a first is not good use of ITN (what about Demi Moore's first major award, for example?) Masem (t) 16:26, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Comment Was considering nominating Golden Globes myself, but the issue, in my opinion, is that it lacks "main" categories like the Best Picture and Best Actor/Actress to include in the blurb without it favoring a particular genre/format. 31.44.227.152 (talk) 19:50, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
• Weak oppose on significance; these awards are much less influential than the Oscars, serving mostly as a hint of what might win those bigger prizes. We already have six different sets of film awards on ITNR and I don't think we need more, though I can see an argument that the Golden Globes have similar influence to BAFTAs. Oppose on quality - the article is a long series of tables with minimal prose and no reactions. Strong oppose the blurb as written, which focusses on the nationality of a single category winner.

  Besides producing Spin Me Round, all of Baena's filmography roles are referenced in the career section. That section doesn't need more refs, nor is the filmography section really unreferenced, when it's a handful of projects all laid out directly above. Kingsif (talk) 04:19, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Zero footnotes in the Filmography section (thus looks like a block of unsourced materials, making the wikiarticle a poor candidate to put on MainPage). If footnotes are readily available from the prose, why aren't they re-deployed in the tables? The tables included Cinema Toast, but this title cannot be found in the prose. --PFHLai (talk) 04:56, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Honestly, when it comes to creators rather than actors, refs are rarely included in the tables. Cell-fill templates are generally used for yes/no, so refs can't be put in the individual columns, which would necessitate a separate column for (in this case) up to three refs. Why repeat when the information is available in prose; it's not a V issue to 'duplicate' sourced prose in diagram format, so to say it should just for MP when FA/FL/DYK don't require it is surely just your opinion. Fair point about Cinema Toast, I had just been looking at the film table. Kingsif (talk) 05:19, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Why not add the reference to the title cell in the table? 31.44.227.152 (talk) 12:59, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Article updatedNominator's comments: A long-standing mystery has been solved. There's still work to do on expanding the article and updating related topics such as Graham Island and Little Ice Age volcanism. Those who measure significance by deaths should note that the resulting famines such as the Tenpō famine caused hundreds of thousands of deaths. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:05, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Oppose the blurb: Average reader would not understand what is this even about, at least in first few glances. Blue suns? Should be wikilinked, googling it gives weird things. Which global famine(s)? Too vague. If it is about some 1831 global climate catastrophe, does Misplaced Pages have an article about or related to it? Googling 'Zavaritski Caldera' on news tab currently only serves one news item by daily mail. It should first be reported by few major general news media outlets so that we may 'it is in news'. I don't say it is not interesting, but very confusing. ExclusiveEditor _{🔔 Ping Me!} 11:50, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

The meteorological use of Blue sun doesn't have an article, but it probably could, there's enough material out there i.e. . Meanwhile, the article is a stub and I don't see it significantly in the news at the moment. Black Kite (talk) 12:06, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

I was working on getting this started but got an edit conflict. Will leave it for now but my impression is that there's lots of work to be done around this. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:33, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose: the article is still a stub, and the blurb is not clear for non-initiated readers. Cambalachero (talk) 13:03, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose Using the Little Ice Age article as a reference, there's multiple volcanic events that contributed to the changing climate from 1600-1900, and while discovering one of the sources is of scientific interest, this is not as key a breakthrough as the blurb seems to want to suggest. --Masem (t) 13:18, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose due to target article length/overall quality and a far too vague blurb for the average reader. 31.44.227.152 (talk) 13:37, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose. This is a proposed (unconfirmed) interpretation of an event that happened in 1831. It's a mildly interesting result but has no major impact. I don't think this reaches the level of significance or broad interest that would merit an ITN blurb. In addition, the article is a stub with a single reference. We don't seem to have any article about the 1831 atmospheric phenomena, just a single bullet point in Little_Ice_Age_volcanism#1809–1831 - an indication that the event wasn't particularly influential or historically significant.

Article updated
Recent deaths of any person, animal or organism with a Misplaced Pages article are always presumed to be important enough to post (see this RFC and further discussion). Comments should focus on whether the quality of the article meets WP:ITNRD.

• Support: Reference 32 is a dead raw link, but other than that I don't see any problems (and it's a minor detail that shouldn't stop the article) Cambalachero (talk) 13:33, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
• Support looks good to me. A giant in NZ politics for sure. Ornithoptera (talk) 17:57, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
• Support Satis. Grimes2 (talk) 18:14, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
• Not Ready On desktop and with standard width, the table under the "Labour Party" section title causes the text to be squeezed to 21 characters per row between it and the infobox on the right which makes the text needlessly hard to read. I am unsure where to move it. 31.44.227.152 (talk) 13:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

   Done Table moved. Grimes2 (talk) 21:40, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support Article is about a fairly notable person and is quite well-written. --Sura Shukurlu (talk) 20:55, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Nominators often include links to external websites and other references in discussions on this page. It is usually best to provide such links using the inline URL syntax rather than using <ref></ref> tags, because that keeps all the relevant information in the same place as the nomination without having to jump to this section, and facilitates the archiving process.
