This page provides a forum for editors to suggest items for inclusion on In the news (ITN), a protected template on the Main Page, as well as the forum for discussion of candidates. This is not the page to report errors in the ITN section on the Main Page—please go to the appropriate section at WP:ERRORS. Archives of past nominations can be found here.
This candidates page is integrated with the daily pages of Portal:Current events. Under each daily section header below is the transcluded Portal:Current events items for that day (with a light green header). Each day's portal page is followed by a subsection for suggestions and discussion.
A blurb is a one sentence summary of the news story. An alternate suggestion for the blurb is called an altblurb, and any more suggestions get labelled alt1, alt2, etc. A blurb needs at least one target article, highlighted in bold; reviewers check the quality of that article and whether it is updated, and whether reliable sources demonstrate the significance of the event. Other articles can also be linked. The Ongoing line is for regularly updated articles which cover events that remain in the news over a longer period of time. RD stands for the "recent deaths" line, and can include any living thing whose death was recently announced. In some cases, recent deaths may need additional explanation as provided by a blurb; this is decided by consensus.

How to nominate an itemIn order to suggest a candidate:
There are criteria which guide the decision on whether or not to put a particular item on In the news, based largely on the extensiveness of the updated content and the perceived significance of the recent developments. These are listed at WP:ITN. Submissions that do not follow the guidelines at Wikipedia:In the news will not be placed onto the live template. Headers

RD/Blurb: Archie Battersbee case
Recent deaths nomination
Blurb: 12-year-old Archie Battersbee dies when his life support is withdrawn following a protracted legal case in England ()

- Nominated by Pigsonthewing (talk · )
- Created by Osarius (talk · )
Recent deaths of any person, animal or organism with a Wikipedia 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.
Nominator's comments: Significant legal case; UN involvement; significant press coverage in UK & overseas Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:58, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support Stub, but notable. Grimes2 (talk) 14:02, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb as unimportant. Oppose blurb or RD on quality grounds. In terms of a blurb, this is a human interest story hyped by British media, but objectively unimportant; lethal accidents of children and legal disputes about keeping comatose patients alive are relatively frequent. Even as a RD entry, the article is a mess and not ready for the main page. There is very little prose, all in the lead. The rest is WP:PROSELINE bullet points and a table of court decisions without context. Sandstein 14:42, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose in general, this doesn't appear to be a case with long-term repurcussions. But I will stress the Oppose on quality - an article that is basically a timeline rather than a discussion of the issues around this isn't going to be sufficient for main page (and the fact that hasn't been done here suggests that this doesnt have the impact suggested). --Masem (t) 14:41, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment To begin with, if it’s a stub it cannot be supported: the quality of the article is something fundamental for it to be included on the Main Page. And this one is far from being in good condition. The RS, moreover, do not consider it as a landmark decision, so it may seem that the impact and the notability of the case is rather mediatic than legal, juridical and medical. And it should be noted that the UN intervention is at the request of the family, not by the decision of the organization itself. I have my doubts that it is ITNR-worthy. _-_Alsor (talk) 14:44, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose on notability. Can only find it as main story on British publications and tabloids and doesn't seem to have any major repercussions - nowhere on AP and CNN International, hidden on NYT World, not the top story on BBC Global, and so forth. DatGuyTalkContribs 14:57, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb ... as lacking case-law significance. RD subject to quality/length standards. – Sca (talk) 14:58, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose, For lack of notability. Alex-h (talk) 15:57, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose on all fronts. Dreadful article. Barely notable for inclusion on Wikipedia as it is, honestly. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 17:07, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose I don't think this would work as a RD as there is little biographical information, for obvious reasons. As a blurb, the article would have to be completely re-written to replace the timeline with conventional prose. Pawnkingthree (talk) 17:17, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose. Interesting story, but not for ITN. I'd suggest DYK. --RockstoneSend me a message! 17:20, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support for RD. Appears to be getting significant coverage internationally, including an article in the New York Times: [1] Thriley (talk) 17:28, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose an isolated death. Polyamorph (talk) 17:30, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- It's clear that the consensus for now is against blurb. I change the nomination format. _-_Alsor (talk) 17:50, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose RD as well, the child doesn't have an independent biography. Polyamorph (talk) 19:02, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- This is not necessarily a requirement in a case like this. The child would never have an independent bio but his death here can be well documented to be an RD. (But there needs to be improvements still on the article) Masem (t) 19:16, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Technically the boy died in May (according to the judiciary report). An independent article would mean this would pass the notability test for an RD automatically, I don't think that is the case here. The case is making the news but I don't think it should be ITN or RD. Polyamorph (talk) 19:26, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- This is not necessarily a requirement in a case like this. The child would never have an independent bio but his death here can be well documented to be an RD. (But there needs to be improvements still on the article) Masem (t) 19:16, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose RD as well, the child doesn't have an independent biography. Polyamorph (talk) 19:02, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Blurb on notability and Oppose RD due to the article being about the case rather then the child who was the centre of it. This just isn't notable enough for a global encyclopaedia and most folks over here in the UK have bigger things to worry about, such as which Eton Psycho will be our next PM and the impending recession. --SinoDevonian (talk) 19:55, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Problem: RD requires a biographical Wikipedia article. However, the nominated article Archie Battersbee case is not a biography of the deceased a 12-year-old child. It does not qualify for RD. --PFHLai (talk) 20:21, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- That's not true. Having a standalone bio article is sufficient for RD posting, but RD postings are not limited to those with biographical articles - just that those without biographical articles should still be reviewed as a normal ITNC that is otherwise targetted for RD posting. (Eg: I am pretty sure we have had RDs of criminals that are well identified on the page about the crime they did but lack a standalone article) Masem (t) 20:24, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Examples: Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/May_2017#(Posted_as_RD)_Ian_Brady_dies_at_79, Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/January_2021#(Posted)_RD:_Siegfried_Fischbacher. Black Kite (talk) 20:40, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- These two examples meet the exception "Individuals who do not have their own article but who have significant coverage on an article about a group (e.g. one member of a musical group) are eligible for a recent deaths entry on a case-by-case basis." What group wikibio does Archie Battersbee belong to? -- PFHLai (talk) 20:48, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- The first sentence on Wikipedia:In the news/Recent deaths is "An individual human, animal or other biological organism that has recently died may have an entry in the recent deaths (RD) section
if it has a biographical Wikipedia article
...". Please give us something to read about the subject's life. Right now, the Archie Battersbee case wikipage only has his DoB and his protracted death, nothing on the twelve years in between. Is there anything to write about? For RDs of criminals, at least there would be info on the crimes they committed, and maybe daring escapes, etc. -- PFHLai (talk) 20:44, 6 August 2022 (UTC)- Yes, I agree that the "IAR" examples given above are still biographical articles, and this isn't. Good point. Black Kite (talk) 20:47, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Examples: Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/May_2017#(Posted_as_RD)_Ian_Brady_dies_at_79, Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/January_2021#(Posted)_RD:_Siegfried_Fischbacher. Black Kite (talk) 20:40, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

- Comment Seems the [Charlie Gard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/July_2017#%5BPosted_to_RD%5D_RD:_Charlie_Gard case was posted to RD] but Alta Fixsler doesn't have an article. No comment on this nom, just some data points for y'all. Question? Do the UK courts routinely sentence children to death? --LaserLegs (talk) 00:15, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
- ...That's one hell of a misunderstanding of what happened. It's not sentencing someone to death if they're already dead... --RockstoneSend me a message! 00:21, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
- LaserLegs, you're an American, right? This sounds alot like the Terri Schiavo case. Remember that? In neither case did the courts sentence anyone to death. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:43, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
- Schiavo's husband and legal guardian asked for the feeding tube to be removed in accordance with her wishes. In these cases, the children's primary caregivers - their parents - are being overruled by the courts and the children condemned to death. It's really quite abhorrent, really. Anyway I don't care if we post this or not, I just vaguely recalled a previous time UK courts ordered a child to die and shared the link to how it was handled that time. --LaserLegs (talk) 01:04, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
- ??? How is it being condemned to death? The children were not alive, their brains had stopped functioning. Crazy take. -- RockstoneSend me a message! 01:07, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
- Maybe read up on the case before commenting such absurd nonsense. The boy died in May from a catastrophic brain injury. The blood supply to his brain was cut off. His brain and other organs were necrotising.Polyamorph (talk) 06:44, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Most oppose !votes referred primarily to quality issues which are addressable, and most notability concerns read to me as effectively "wait" !votes because they remarked that it's still too early to understand the notability.

- Support - Issues have been addressed. Good to go. Mjroots (talk) 14:03, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- The "The Seekers" section has only one footnote for three paragraphs and that ref is a fan site. The "Solo career" section has a couple of footnote-free paragraphs. In her Discography, the list of EPs has only one item (just one?) and it is unsourced. Please add more REFs. --PFHLai (talk) 14:36, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

- Comment stop calling it "Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan" it was a total of six exclusively Democrat members of congress who attended via US Airfore transport. We should post this, but the blurb needs to be adjusted. --LaserLegs (talk) 10:11, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Weak Oppose I think this might deserve a blurb, but the military exercises article is being considered for deletion and has problems, and the visit has already been discussed this week and wasn't posted. If it is to be posted, the exercises article should either be improved or merged. echidnaLives (talk) 12:05, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- EchidnaLives the military exercise article was proposed for deletion as it was named before "Fourth Taiwan Strait Crisis". It has been moved,
butand will probably stay. Still, I agree it should get resolved before the blurb gets posted, and could perhaps still get posted only with Nancy Pelosi's article. AdrianHObradors (talk) 12:18, 5 August 2022 (UTC); edited AdrianHObradors (talk) 12:24, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- EchidnaLives the military exercise article was proposed for deletion as it was named before "Fourth Taiwan Strait Crisis". It has been moved,
- Oppose Military exercises are not that rare (see for example this list). If things escalate and China invades Taiwan, that will surely deserve posting.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 12:08, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- I think the difference is that this one is in direct response of an event, and all around Taiwan. I think if Russia decided to do a military exercise all around Hawaii, it would be news as well. AdrianHObradors (talk) 12:26, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Wait – So far it's just gunboat diplomacy, 21st century-style. – Sca (talk) 13:03, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose - Military exercises around Taiwan have unfortunately been a fact of life for the better part of the past 30 years. While it has escalated recently, these exercises have in the past waxed and waned. Most news articles are focusing on the outcome of Pelosi's Taiwan visit and only mention military exercises as a sort of follow-up or side article, rather than the main focal attention. If it does become a crisis or standoff, it should be titled as an actual "crisis" and re-nominated. 193.119.98.23 (talk) 13:14, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Weak support they invaded Taiwan's territorial waters and fired into them, encircling the whole island. This makes it very different to just a normal military exercise, it's the closest you can get to war without one. Abcmaxx (talk) 13:31, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Wait Still posturing in light of the Pelosi visit. Nothing new here. --Masem (t) 14:20, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose - This isn't a significant development, and the fact that one of the sample blurbs slips the reliable wiki-hooray-word 'notable' in there just shows how much of a reach this is. GenevieveDEon (talk) 18:52, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Wait -- this is in the news, but it's not blurb-worthy, and it may not be. -- RockstoneSend me a message! 20:25, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Nothing notable here. Many countries, including my own, Australia, routinely conduct dick-rattling military exercises in that region. Until we get independent reports from reliable media in countries that aren't involved in such mine-is-bigger-than-yours activities, there is really nothing to report.

- Comment: Article not updated with sentencing information. SpencerT•C 15:44, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose I don’t see any extraordinary significance in sentencing a person who was found guilty for smuggling drugs. Many people around the world get punished for committing similar crimes on a daily basis.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 15:47, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- The signficance comes from the fact that she is a US citizen (and a black lesbian) prominently detained in Russia just before its invasion of Ukraine. The potential for her to be used as a political bargaining chip, or treated badly because of her identity as distinct from her alleged offence, is relevant. I don't think the story currently merits ITN, but it would be naive to ignore the context. GenevieveDEon (talk) 18:00, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose A high profile case sure, but not a particularly noteworthy sentence. Drug smuggling gets punished far worse in countries like Malaysia or Indonesia. 🌈 4🧚♂am KING 👑 16:00, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- Other countries' severe punishments are not relevant to this case. GenevieveDEon (talk) 18:00, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

- Other countries' severe punishments are not relevant to this case. GenevieveDEon (talk) 18:00, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose Not seeing the lasting significance. Kafoxe (talk) 16:13, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- Neutral, leaning Oppose - The significance of this story obviously comes from the context of international tensions between USA and Russia over Ukraine, and it may gain in prominence when more reactions come it. But at present, I don't think it merits posting. GenevieveDEon (talk) 18:00, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose I suspect that if she had not been notable for her basketball career, we wouldn't even have an article about this case. Black Kite (talk) 18:08, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose thank you for updating the article and attempting this nomination. ITN is only for a small number of highly prominent news events. The conviction is a mere formality, hardly news at all because the outcome was forordaned. Jehochman Talk 19:11, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

- Weak support the article is fine, but it goes into little depth about her work as a congresswoman in recent years: nothing about her activity in 2021 (when she became the Ranking Member of the House Ethics Committee), nor in 2019, nor 2014. I think a brief reference to something she might have done in those gap years would be interesting. In the "U.S. House of Representatives" section, there is no prose about the last elections (although they are mentioned as tables further down the article) and there are tags that need to be fixed. _-_Alsor (talk) 23:35, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

- Strong oppose I am aware of the guideline that notability is not to be debated as long as there is an article, but this person doesn't even have any notable professional achievements (or being notorious as a criminal). He was a random layperson with no religious training who dressed up and got a few family members to vote him in as pope. It's not like there were a bunch of actual clerics who broke away. All the coverage is based on a gimmick Bumbubookworm|Bumbubookworm]] (talk) 02:25, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Bumbubookworm Personally I agree with you, but he somehow managed to end with a documentary made about him and the Wikipedia page. If the page isn't discussed for deletion, then it fits the criteria for RD. AdrianHObradors (talk) 23:21, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- The problem that I see is not what makes him notable. We have people who are famous for being famous and they can be RD. But, this is In the News. Is this in the news? I don't see any RS covering this. Is his funeral home enough to post on? – Muboshgu (talk) 03:44, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

- Comment I want to support this as significant, but where is the update? China-US relations? --LaserLegs (talk) 15:30, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Weak Oppose - This is basically the opposite effect of Nixon in China. But the diplomatic and political intrigue might not be measurable enough from a standpoint of notability. It might be more notable if the delegation was led by the President of the United States, or if it were associated the passage of a specific treaty.--🌈WaltCip-(talk) 15:37, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose, unless a significant incident actually happens, this is just saber rattling on both sides. Morgan695 (talk) 15:41, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Wait... to see if anything of significance comes from this much-ballyhooed piece of political theater. – Sca (talk) 15:44, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose unless there's a major reaction from China. The proposed blurb is misleading: Pelosi is not a member of the US government - she's a legislator with no executive power. Even if she was, merely visiting and giving a speech isn't significant enough. If anything changes in Taiwan's relationship with China, that would be important. But a mere visit by a politician from a friendly nation isn't enough. Modest Genius talk 15:57, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose it's not really clear that relations are strained or that Pelosi's visit is significant as yet. Yes, it is in the news, but I oppose the current blurb and descriptive theme Andrevan@ 16:00, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose - its a visit by a lone congressperson (sure in the line of succession but still has no say on US policy wrt China or Taiwan). nableezy - 16:02, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Weak support Per LaserLegs. It is significant enough though to be on the front page of Spanish newspaper // El Mundo//, with an update saying
China sends a destroyer off the coast of Taiwan in view of Pelosi's visit.
(Translation from Google) --AdrianHObradors (talk) 16:10, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose - Unless anything significant happens, the rest is just sabre rattling, at any rate this is premature and not different from any other diplomatic event affecting relations between two countries. 🌈 4🧚♂am KING 👑 16:17, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment – Guardian update says Pelosi vows to "stand by Taiwan," and makes statements against "autocracy." Reuters quotes her pledging "solidarity with the 23 million people of Taiwan." – Sca (talk) 16:43, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

- Support blurb There are several sections which have citation needed tags, but I expect this to be resolved very quickly.
I'm unsure about a blurb though.MarioJump83 (talk) 22:18, 1 August 2022 (UTC)- Supporting a blurb, this is a VERY significant news. MarioJump83 (talk) 01:00, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support blurb pending page improvements. This is a story we should blurb! This isn't "old man dies", this is a military operation taking out a top terrorist. He's been wanted since 9/11. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:30, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support blurb Per above. He's the leader of al-Qaeda. This is quite significant. GWA88 (talk) 22:33, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support blurb As other editors have commented, al-Zawahiri leads al-Qaeda, the role in which he had succeeded Osama bin Laden, perhaps the world's most famous terrorist leader. Especially given that widespread expectations had been for him to be hiding in Pakistan, there is no longer a U.S. military presence in Afghanistan, and there is no clear successor to al-Zawahiri, creating the possibility of a split in the group. I mean, if England defeating Germany in the Euro is considered relevant enough for ITN, there is no reason this shouldn't be.Augusthorsesdroppings10 (talk) 22:42, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Strong Support: This is a major development and though we are not a news site, this one in particular warrants categorization as an event and not a mere death. BOTTO (T•C) 22:45, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support blurb—Not only was he the longtime leader of al-Qaeda following Osama's death, but he was actually the brains of the organization even back when he was his predecessor's right-hand man. He was one of the main masterminds behind numerous al-Qaeda operations, including the 9/11 attacks. He merits a full blurb. Kurtis (talk) 23:08, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Added proposed blurb -- RockstoneSend me a message! 23:23, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Nominator's comments: Of OK length with adequate references, though article hasn't yet elaborate cause of death. –Jiaminglimjm (talk) 11:08, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose on quality Unfortunately, references are not clear and proper, as there are several parts of the article that isn't supported within the references listed. Elaborate cause of death isn't necessary for RD, which shows in Bill Russell. MarioJump83 (talk) 21:38, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Time to look at this nom again? This wikibio has grown quite a bit, with sourcing also augmented, the past few days. The first paragraph of the Early life and career section needs footnotes. The rest of the wikipage looks better and may be due for a re-review. --PFHLai (talk) 16:24, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

- Support Andrew🐉(talk) 20:17, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support someone opened the hailing frequencies, and it looks like the needed citations are beaming into the article as we speak. 🖖 Imzadi 1979 → 20:19, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Just to add, her groundbreaking nature would support a blurb, IMHO. Imzadi 1979 → 20:55, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support - More sources are being added, article looks in good shape Funcrunch (talk) 20:23, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- I love Star Trek so I am biased, and I'm probably the only one who thinks so, but there might be an argument for a blurb here. She was groundbreaking in television. Was she the most famous, even just among the cast, no, but she has influenced many. 331dot (talk) 20:25, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- You're not the only one; I would also support a blurb. Funcrunch (talk) 20:39, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- I think she could deserve a blurb due to the groundbreaking & influential nature of her role as Uhura, but it isn’t a slam dunk. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 20:40, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support When it's ready, I would mind a blurb. She was groundbreaking for black women on the screen, and seeing articles and condolences flooding in from all over the world, I'd say she was definitely well known. --cart-Talk 20:38, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support RD. Although a good actress with a wider impact, I wouldn’t say she is blurb-worthy. She didn’t break new ground or radically change things - this feels a bit more like Carrie Fisher, where the fan vote overtakes the guidelines. 2A00:23C7:2B86:9801:A9EA:1A01:7E8:768C (talk) 21:01, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- This part of the intro to her article sounds groundbreaking to me:
Blaylockjam10 (talk) 23:57, 31 July 2022 (UTC)Nichols' portrayal of Uhura was ground-breaking for African American actresses on American television. From 1977 until 2015, Nichols volunteered her time to promote NASA's programs, and to recruit diverse astronauts, including women and ethnic minorities.
- Apparently Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. thought her work was groundbreaking, as he personally convinced her not to quit the series. From her article:
King personally encouraged her to stay on the series, saying she "could not give up" because she was playing a vital role model for Black children and young women across the country, as well as for other children who would see Black people appearing as equals, going so far as to favorably compare her work on the series to the marches of the ongoing civil rights movement.
- IMO that supports a blurb. 71.11.8.34 (talk) 01:00, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- This part of the intro to her article sounds groundbreaking to me:
- Support RD I'm bearish on blurbing Russell, and clearly Nichols is far below him in significance (no disrespect, I like Star Trek much more than basketball). Anyway, the article looks in posting condition to me. Nohomersryan (talk) 21:45, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- YES! What has gone wrong with Wikipedia. I heard of her death on TV Network Eening News and came here expecting to see announcement, etc. I know its a Sunday afternoon in summer but... 2600:1700:1FFC:0:F97B:8D83:D9D9:8C98 (talk) 22:14, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose several entries (some of which don't even have links to articles) in the latter tables are unreferenced. This is a bit silly when we know we need these claims to be referenced that anyone would support at this time. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 22:19, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Had a look now. Couldn't track down anything usable for Surge of Dawn (which appears to be a truly Z-tier movie) and Star Trek Adventure (a vague theme park ride with several incarnations). If they're a barrier to posting and no one else finds anything, they should be taken out. Nohomersryan (talk) 22:50, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- I can't find sources for those either. WP:ITN says
Articles should be well referenced; one or two "citation needed" tags may not hold up an article, but any contentious statements must have a source, and having entire sections without any sources is unacceptable.
This is not contentious, and leaving it with a cn tag should not prevent posting. Commenting it out is another option. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:20, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Weak Support - Article looks fine, but it is not on ITN/R and we already have a lot of other football tournaments there, that being said Women's sports is underrepresented and the mens tournament is in ITN/R.🌈 4🧚♂am KING 👑 19:13, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- just wanted to state that the blurb should link to the final instead of the tournament, at least in its current condition. The Tournament page suffers from the standard issues of Sport tournament pages (table overload and lack of prose/match overviews). 🌈 4🧚♂am KING 👑 19:18, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support - reworded blurb to link to the article on the final (as we do for other tournaments) Smurrayinchester 19:17, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support. I would argue that, going forward, WEURO should also be ITNR; as 4iamking mentions, women's sports is underrepresented at ITNR for its increasing popularity. Sceptre (talk) 19:32, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Comment/Suggestion - If this gets posted with a picture, take the crest of the three lionesses (england womans football team) instead of the wembley-photo - as this blurb is about an england national football team winning an international tournament. offtopic: I wonder if the IP, that suggested this news, would have done it, if germany had won the tournament. anyway, congratulations! --LennBr (talk) 19:38, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Even if this was biased suggesting, it would have been suggested eventually, it's still a big tournament. CaptainGalaxy 20:01, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- No, I probably would have listed Germany’s victory, but not as quickly and not as happily! If the Wembley picture doesn’t suit, File:Keira Walsh (cropped).jpg is an image of the player of the match, which would suit well. 2A00:23C7:2B86:9801:A9EA:1A01:7E8:768C (talk) 20:53, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Even if this was biased suggesting, it would have been suggested eventually, it's still a big tournament. CaptainGalaxy 20:01, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

- Support "Football has come home, it has come home, it has come home, it has come....." Oh sorry, slightly distracted by England's glorious victory over the old enemy. ;) Article is fully sourced and looks great and broke so many records for women's football. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 20:42, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
Oppose on qualityfor now. A few issues: (1) no match summary in prose (a perennial issue for noms of this sort!);(2) the "route to the final" contains tables within a table, which is not compliant with MOS:ACCESS; (3) a few citations needed in the "Aftermath" section. Support on significance though, this seems to be widely reported even in news outlets such as NY Times and Sydney Morning Herald which aren't part of the area covered by the tournament. A great day for English football! — Amakuru (talk) 21:02, 31 July 2022 (UTC)- I have resolved issue (2), so (1) and (3) outstanding! — Amakuru (talk) 21:33, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

- I have resolved issue (2), so (1) and (3) outstanding! — Amakuru (talk) 21:33, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support in principle but does need a prose match summary. As soon as that is done, consider this a full support. Pawnkingthree (talk) 21:11, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support per PK3 on notability but oppose per Amakuru on lack of suitable update. If I get time I'll do it myself, but I'm sure there are other content writers out there who write about football other than me and Amakuru. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 22:18, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support for all the reasons given so far. ed g2s • talk 22:38, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose We already have eleven (11) instances for association football at WP:ITNR, that is the highest for any sport or any topic even. If there needs to be a further mention of AF related titles, it needs to be discussed at ITNR first, this is already too cluttered as is. Gotitbro (talk) 23:39, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Some of them like Copa whatever and Bungholefister have never actually been posted. Those national tournaments need to come down, except maybe the EPL. --LaserLegs (talk) 23:56, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Except for the fact that "Bungholefister" is actually a major competition in the world's most popular sport. In any case, the argument that being a national tournament disqualifies football leagues from being posted is pretty trivial when we post American college basketball (which I'm pretty sure nobody outside the States watches) and the Boat Race (which I'm not sure anybody in the UK watches). AryKun (talk) 04:01, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- COLLEGE BASKETBALL KLAXXON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --LaserLegs (talk) 11:56, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Be honest with me, does anybody really care about Women's March Madness? I can see why the men's tournament is ITNR, of course, but the women's tournament isn't even the most popular women's basketball tournament in the US.
- Also, for what it's worth, the fact that you immediately went to xenophobic homophobia without any sort of prompting means that you're in serious need of maturing a little. Just my two cents. Sceptre (talk) 17:50, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

AryKun (talk) 04:01, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose no match summary (reading soccer is even worse than watching it but people who care will want to) then easy support. --LaserLegs (talk) 23:58, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose. There are citations tags all over the "aftermath" section. There is no summary of the game's events. Does it even mention that the German captain Alexandra Popp was injured in the warm-up? I don't think it does. She is mentioned in the last sentence before "Match" and then... what happened to her? She's vanished. Not in the team. It's only because I heard this elsewhere that I know about it. Shouldn't the readers know?
- Also, this is a recurring event that is not listed on the Wikipedia:In the news/Recurring items. Gotitbro's comment suggests this would be the 12th of its type. But is that all? There are other regional tournaments. England play Brazil in the UEFA–CONMEBOL Women's Finalissima (says UEFA Women's Euro 2022). This is because Brazil just won the 2022 Copa América Femenina Final (which has a better match summary than the Euro final). Then there is the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations... the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship... the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup ("the oldest women's international football competition"). Are they all going to be included at ITNR? Please state how this one is more important than the Copa América Femenina. Since the winners qualify to play each other? Are there going to be 16 recurring items of this type in the future?
- I would prefer to support 4iamking's proposal to include the women's version of every tournament listed at ITNR. There's no point adding more for the same sport. There are a lot of events missing in other sports, e.g. the World Women's Snooker Championship, the AFL Women's Grand Final. --Gaois (talk) 00:53, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- wasn't really a proposal, more of an observation. the only Womens's football tournament in ITN/R is the woman's World Cup, the other 10 are all male tournaments. Maybe there could be a proposal to include women sport tournament analog's to ITN/R, but this is probably a discussion for the talk page. 🌈 4🧚♂am KING 👑 01:21, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- There is no requirement for something to be listed at ITN/R before it gets posted as a news item - indeed, the ITN/R listing often stems from the fact that something has gained consensus several times already. It may seem like there are a lot of football tournaments included in the regular listings, but at the end of the day it's the world's most popular sport, and the media have picked up on this, even US outlets such as NY Times. — Amakuru (talk) 08:55, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

- I have also added the image File:Keira Walsh 20181009 01 cropped.jpg to the protected page, which I think is better than the Manchester City one above as it shows her in her England shirt and is also slightly more recent at 2018 rather than 2017. — Amakuru (talk) 10:08, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

- Strongly support as he is one of the most important players in basketball who also had a great impact with the civil rights movement. Ayyydoc (talk) 17:27, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support - Featured article, I'm good with a blurb. Jusdafax (talk) 17:34, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support blurb One of a handful of athletes that deserves it - a titan of basketball, the first Black head coach in North American pro sports, and a civil rights icon. The Kip (talk) 17:45, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support blurb I'm a bit surprised that this hasn't been posted yet after half an hour given that we posted Maradona's death in eight minutes. To be frank, Russell in basketball is of the same stature as Maradona in football. Age is irrelevant in this case.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 17:56, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not opposed to this as a blurb (it would be nice to have an FA on the main page), but fairly obviously Maradona was a legend in the biggest sport in the world, played worldwide, whilst I strongly suspect that very few people outside North America have ever heard of Russell. Black Kite (talk) 18:40, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Black Kite (talk) 18:40, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Blurb like I did for Maradona and whatever politician died recently and I do almost every time because "old man dies unremarkable death" is exactly what RD is for. Russell will end up the box, either in a blurb or in RD what difference does it make except that the boiler plate "X dies at Y age" will push Monkeypox out of the box. It's not like he died in a helicopter crash at age 41 come on. --LaserLegs (talk) 18:14, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support blurb This is the state I'd expect an article for a RD BLP that we are going to post as a blurb - besides quality there's an extensive legacy/influence section to explain why he was important and not just claims of WPians. --Masem (t) 18:16, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- RD Only Unremarkable death... If we only got a generic burb of "Famous person X dies at Y age", its not doing anything that a RD wouldn't, and actually is exactly what RD is for. If there is a blurb it should state what about the death is significant. 🌈 4🧚♂am KING 👑 18:37, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- RD only Agree with comments above. 88 is a good age to go! Turini2 (talk) 19:14, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- WRT whether or not Russell deserves a blurb, what he did during his life is more important than how old he was when he died. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 20:45, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- RD only – While a household name to U.S. BKB fans half a century ago, Mr. Russell reached the end of his lifespan and "died peacefully beside his wife." – Sca (talk) 18:51, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose blurb - The current ITN consensus of blurbing a recent death seems to be departing away from blurbing figures who were merely exceptionally notable or tops in their field, regarding the last few times we've done this (Maradona) as a mistake. It's unfortunate Bill Russell ends up receiving the short end of the stick in this regard, but that seems to be where we are heading now. 🌈WaltCip-(talk) 22:50, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support blurb - this isnt just somebody exceptionally notable or tops in his field, though he is that, he was also a civil rights activist. Thats woefully underrepresented in his article, but he isnt just some basketball player. The blurb should also make note of that. nableezy - 00:11, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose Age Blurb If there's something to be said of how Bill Russell's death is a milestone in black or basketball history, say that instead. His influence hasn't changed from when he was alive at 88, 84 or whatever retirement year. Explain the significance of his death and consider me Supportive. InedibleHulk (talk) 08:24, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- @InedibleHulk: According to this logic, Mikhail Gorbachev shouldn't get a blurb because he left office 30 years ago, nor should Jimmy Carter whose influence ended 20 years ago. I wonder if the first woman in space would merit a blurb because she did it almost 60 years ago.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 11:08, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- A US basketball player doesn't nearly have the notoriety that Gorbachev has. That being said, a blurb of "The first woman in space Valentina Tereshkova dies" is a thousand times better than a blurb that says "Russian Cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova dies at age xx", we have the latter for this guy. 🌈 4🧚♂am KING 👑 11:38, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- @InedibleHulk: According to this logic, Mikhail Gorbachev shouldn't get a blurb because he left office 30 years ago, nor should Jimmy Carter whose influence ended 20 years ago. I wonder if the first woman in space would merit a blurb because she did it almost 60 years ago.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 11:08, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb. US editors: "American basketball player Bill Russell dies at the age of 88." Rest of world: "Who? So ...?". This is a global encyclopedia, not one for US sports fans. Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:27, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Nominator's comments: Major sporting event, men's event is WP:ITN/R - first official running of event since 1989. Updated and written up! Turini2 (talk) 16:39, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Added photo - do we have one where she's wearing the maillot jaune? Omnifalcon (talk) 16:45, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support on principle - we've posted the mens, and so we should post the womens version as well, which only occured a week later. --Masem (t) 16:53, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support, I dont see any reason why we should not post this considering we posted the mens Tour de France. 88.230.9.13 (talk) 17:24, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Comment "Race overview" is very short but has a "see also" for 2022 Tour de France Femmes, Stage 1 to Stage 8 which is very detailed. Problem is, that "sub article" has two refs for each stage summary -- is that whole article sourced from just two accounts of the race? We shouldn't be sweeping referencing issues into WP:SPINOUT articles and pretending they don't exist. We should post this, it's a shining example of systemic bias that we've consistently refused blanket inclusions of women's editions of sporting events already listed at ITN/R. No real problems with the bolded article except that race summary prose is kind of short. --LaserLegs (talk) 18:22, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support - as per Masem. Kiwipete (talk) 10:05, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose until complete, then support - the race summary only covers the first five stages, and the "Classification Leadership" table, as far as I can see, is unsourced. Black Kite (talk) 15:32, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support, and also in future, assuming that the women's race ends whilst the men's race is still on ITN, I would suggest adding the women's winner to the blurb pretty quickly, and then maybe moving the combined blurb up a bullet point. The end of July is typically quiet for ITN anyway. Sceptre (talk) 17:56, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- If someone could take a look, I think I've made all the relevant edits and updates - just gonna go and get some photos to populate the article. Turini2 (talk) 20:42, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- @LaserLegs @Black Kite All done, edits made and references in place. Turini2 (talk) 21:32, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Recent deaths of any person, animal or organism with a Wikipedia 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.
Nominator's comments: former President of the Philippines from 1992 to 1998 — Lawrence Ruiz (talk) 14:13, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Extensive sourcing is needed, entire sections are without references. --Tone 14:50, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- This cannot be put into RD for now due to lack of necessary sourcing. A lot of CN tags and there's a section that doesn't have any citations. Notable and important figure but citation/sourcing issues hold this back. MarioJump83 (talk) 21:41, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - FVR is bordering on being worthy of a blurb. This is an important one to get up to standards, and soon. 1779Days (talk) 05:23, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- An absolute mess of sourcing, but if these problems are resolved in time I could see a blurb being an option, if the support is there. Anarchyte (talk) 10:15, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - I also think he is worthy of a blurb, but the article has several paragraphs without sources; the article should be revamped. Vida0007 (talk) 13:02, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
- Sourcing deficiencies persist. Please add more REFs. --PFHLai (talk) 16:11, 6 August 2022 (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 [http://example.com]
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.
For the times when <ref></ref>
tags are being used, here are their contents:
