Article updated

Nominator's comments: This is major news. Article appears to be in good shape and is being updated as info becomes available. Ad Orientem (talk) 04:31, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Wait According to most media sources (including the Fox News link, which says “believed to be” Baghdadi) his death is still awaiting final confirmation, and given that he has been incorrectly reported dead many times we should be extra cautious to make sure his death is reliably confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt. Would definitely support upon confirmation; probably the world’s most wanted individual for the past several years. EternalNomad (talk) 04:43, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support once confirmed - Aviartm (talk) 04:46, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment CNN is reporting he was killed when he detonated a suicide vest, so it should be described as a suicide. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 04:48, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support once confirmed Although evidence is pointing out that he likely is deceased at this time. I agree with EternalNomad that caution should be taken. Nonstopmaximum (talk) 05:13, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Support alt blurb 2 Nonstopmaximum (talk) 13:30, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Support suicide scenario Rumour is he offed himself, so no "we got him" moment for Trump. Could be fake news, but Osama bin Laden wasn't exactly proven dead, either. Offered a blurb. InedibleHulk (talk) 06:15, October 27, 2019 (UTC)

He's assumed room temperature because the intelligence people found the murderous little SOB and the military went in. Whether he chose to go out like Hitler in the bunker or guns blazing is not material to my mind. President bone spurs had nothing to do with it either way. Same was true of Obama and bin-Laden. That said, if he did throw his own off switch that should be reflected and I would support the alt blurb. -Ad Orientem (talk) 06:34, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hitler would have had no clue what to do with two wives. InedibleHulk (talk) 06:51, October 27, 2019 (UTC)

• We have contradicting blurbs here. Article, even-though detailed, contains sketchy narrations and an interesting timeline of the times he was reported to be dead/injured before. We should really be careful not rush in spreading this, notwithstanding the rushed reports of the "reliable sources" who are in competition to break the news first. Wikipedia should wait for the FACTS to emerge, after the hype dissipates. – Ammarpad (talk) 07:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support alt blurb once confirmed per above. Davey2116 (talk) 07:35, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Added a simplified alt blurb. Nonstopmaximum (talk) 07:46, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - Wives not newsworthy. If posting before official confirmation, use blurb in passive voice: Man believed to be Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is killed during a US raid in Idlib, Syria. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 08:12, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support alt blurb 3 Trump confirmed it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tzn7lVBSq0g Added alt-blurb 3 on the basis of what Trump has announced 5.44.170.9 (talk) 13:26, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Wait – Independent confirmation would be best. Note, however, that Trump says unequivocally that he's dead. – Sca (talk) 13:30, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Because the Orange One is absolutely a trustworthy reliable source. WaltCip (talk) 13:31, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say DT was independent – hence the however. – Sca (talk) 13:49, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Support suicide theory, just confirmed by the President of the United States. --CoryGlee (talk) 13:32, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support if confirmed. NYT suggests death has not been officially confirmed yet. Once people are confident enough, it's a no-brainer for the main page. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 13:43, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that the article is listing him as dead with heavy RS usage. Seems like he is very likely dead. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 13:49, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support it's been announced. I'm not sure what further proof we need. Calidum 13:45, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Going against the flow here, I'm not sure he's worth a blurb. He wasn't Osama. RD anyone? – Sca (talk) 13:50, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I can't create new pages, but we should consider establishing a new article about his death. Just how we have one about Osama's death 5.44.170.9 (talk) 14:07, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

RD: Ivan Milat

Nominator's comments: Death announced today. BabbaQ (talk) 01:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose That's a redirect to a section in an article about the murders he committed. He doesn't have his own article. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:36, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I am not at all sure why he doesn't have his own article, or why the article is called "Backpacker Murders". It's the result of a merger in 2008, after discussion on the talk page between 4 editors, all of whom seemed to have lived in the US. I guess that's maybe an indication of how the case was known there, but I think that in Australia, his name is better known than the term "Backpacker murders". The Guardian obit is titled "Ivan Milat, Australia's most notorious serial killer, dies aged 74" [2]. It also has another article "Ivan Milat's chilling serial backpacker murders still haunt Australia" [3]. The ABC has "Australian serial killer Ivan Milat dies in Long Bay prison, aged 74" [4] and "Secrets of the forest: Ivan Milat, Australia’s most notorious serial killer, is dead. How many more murders remain unsolved?" [5]. 39 of the 83 (ish) sources have the name Milat in the title. But I don't want to spend time on the article myself. RebeccaGreen (talk) 05:54, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

RebeccaGreen , I think the subject being the most notorious Astralian murderer deserves his own bio. (assuming there is enough material to write there). This should have been on ITN RD. --DBigXrayᗙ 07:07, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Over half of the current article is about him, his trial and imprisonment, interviews about other disappearances, etc. There's plenty for an article about him. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:27, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose – Per Muboshgu. – Sca (talk) 13:32, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Support - article is adequate for RD. -Zanhe (talk) 21:14, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Oppose: Political career is mostly a list of election results and positions held; any information available regarding what Parikh did in his role as a politician (new laws, political positions, projects, etc.)? Spencer^T•C 00:32, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  His short stint as Chief Minister was not much eventful because he was running a minority government. I could not find anything significant in references to add. Regards,-Nizil (talk) 09:32, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Support and added alt 2 and 3. Article could use some improvement, but good enough for ITN. Kingsif (talk) 17:03, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose the article is light on specifics -- it's largely general information about the impact of any oil spill. Except for "confidentially" blaming Venezuela, there are only very general details like "30 tankers from ten different countries" and "As of October 23, contamination had reached more than 200 localities". The article leaves me, as a reader, asking "How much oil? Where? What damage? What's being done to clean it up?" The article lacks all of those crucial specifics. --LaserLegs (talk) 23:50, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The oil was produced in Venezuela, that is a fact, but nobody knows how much oil (it just keeps coming) because nobody knows when or where or who caused the spill. It's a very mysterious spill. But it's one of the biggest (if not the biggest) environmental disaster in Brazilian recent history.--SirEdimon (talk) 03:48, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • After the Amazon fires? But yeah, if they're certain it's from Venezuela, the only way to measure it is to ask Venezuela. Kingsif (talk) 04:05, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • @LaserLegs: This is a disaster that is still in progress. There is still no concrete information about the origin of the oil, nor about its quantity, much less about the environmental and human impacts, which take longer time to measure. Understand that the entire coast of the Brazilian Northeast has been reached, so there is not a single place to be mentioned in the text. What's being done to clean it up? Please read the fourth paragraph of the introductory text and you will have your answer. Chronus (talk) 08:13, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Uluru climbing ban

Nominator's comments: Very interesting piece of news; a ban on one of the most sacred and iconic landmarks in the world is certain to impact tourism at least in the country. EternalNomad (talk) 17:37, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose on quality alone. The item has been global news for a day or so, but the article really needs substantial work. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 17:45, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose per TRM. As far as I can tell, there's only actually a line on the actual climbing ban? PotentPotables (talk) 23:27, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose both on quality and importance. Governments issue bans everyday. – Ammarpad (talk) 12:26, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose – Per previous. Of interest to a specialized audience. Sca (talk) 14:20, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support on significance. This is not any old ban, but has received much publicity worldwide, probably at least partly because many readers are likely to see it as implicitly significant in many different areas, such as 'God/Religion v Mammon', colonizers v colonized, alleged 'science/rationality' v alleged 'superstition', tourist rights v native rights, ancient v modern, conservation v jobs, politically correct v politically incorrect, and so on, and is quite likely to have knock-on effects elsewhere in the world as a result, even if these arguments are not necessarily spelled out explicitly in Reliable Sources and in our article (and perhaps rightly so, to avoid becoming UNDUE, etc). As for article quality, I don't normally regard myself as qualified to judge whether our quality standards are being met, but a superficial look at the article suggests, at least to me, that there is an orange flag that would need fixing, but assuming that gets fixed, I think the article currently seemingly gives a brief but reasonable and arguably adequate summary of the history of the disputes over native ownership and climbing rights, thus providing our readers with the background to this story, which at least arguably fulfils the first stated purpose of ITN articles ("To help readers find and quickly access content they are likely to be searching for because an item is in the news."). But as already mentioned, I am not the best person to judge such quality issues. Tlhslobus (talk) 23:43, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think that would be hard to do, concisely and objectively. The immediate and stated cause of this is electoral irregularities of the most recent election (which is hard to take seriously, seeing that pre-election and exit polling are all in general agreement with the official results). More likely, the near-half of the country that voted for someone other than the winner, are upset that the winner is now taking on a fourth consecutive term in a country whose constitution explicitly bans any more than two consecutive terms, but this is still allowed because someone 50 years ago signed a treaty. The article gets this point across in, I think, an even-handed way, but I can't come up with a blurb that does as well. Best to just point to the article and let readers find out for themselves.130.233.2.47 (talk) 09:18, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Wait – It's widely published all right, but something about it makes me nervous. For one thing, the Guardian and the BBC say the driver/suspect is named Mo Robinson, but both are quite dodgy about it. Guardian: "believed to be Mo Robinson," BBC: "named locally as Mo Robinson." Neither statement is in the nominated article; if this were an official identification it would be there. Instead, we say he was a 25-year-old from such-and-such. I don't like it. Further, we know nothing about the victims or where they were from. Also, the 'Reactions' section conveys no real information.

(Closed) Emperor Naruhito enthroned

Northern Ireland direct rule

Nominator's comments: News coverage is a bit confusing: Although abortion services won't open in NI until 2020, it was decriminalized in NI as of midnight last night meaning women can access English services without paying and without committing a crime. Similarly, same-sex marriage won't be available until early next year when Northern Ireland's pension laws etc get updated, but the law mandating it has already come into effect. Smurrayinchester 08:40, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak oppose certainly newsworthy but all three target articles suffering in their own ways from lack of quality. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 09:51, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose. Whilst this is good news, we've stopped posting the legalisation of same-sex marriage in even large & populous sovereign countries. NI is a small non-sovereign region with 3% of the UK population. Modest Genius ^talk 11:17, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose The blurb is unenlightening, and visiting the bold link did nothing to clarify the issue. What's going on here? An Act has been proposed, and did not pass, and this leads to new laws being made re: LBGT and abortion? And according to the article this has something to do with Brexit and a renewable energy scandal? The lede states that this places the burden of legalizing these things onto the British (London) government in 2020; where and how does this new government/laws come into effect, then? If this is a routine change in government, I would support it on ITNR. If this is about legalizing sex and abortion, I would need more information before !voting. If this is about Brexit and/or some other scandal, the update should go to those respective articles and re-nominated. In any case, some clarification is needed before posting.130.233.2.47 (talk) 13:02, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose - both article and blurb issues that needs to be completed before posting. Not opposing posting when completed, ping me.BabbaQ (talk) 22:40, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose Sorry, but we have long since passed the point where we need to be posting each legalization of SSM. If Russia or Saudi Arabia legalize it drop me a line. Otherwise, this is just more of the same. At some point we need to stop posting these events, and IMHO that point was a couple of years ago. -Ad Orientem (talk) 23:22, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: Agree with the opposes above on same sex marriage but am I the only one who finds the abortion part surprising enough to post, considering that GB legalised abortion half a century ago. I can't help but think that Northern Ireland just now legalising abortion is notable enough to deserve some thought. WP:LOGGEDOUT. 69.140.120.9 (talk) 04:14, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  No, I agree, the abortion aspect is by far more significant than the same-sex marriage issue which appears to have fixated most commentators here. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 09:45, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  I agree the abortion part affects more people, but my opinion is the same: this law affects a non-sovereign region with a population of less than two million. We would not post the legalisation of abortion in just, say, Multan. Modest Genius ^talk 18:55, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose per Ad Orientem. Legalization of SSM among countries around the world is steadily increasing. The abortion part is also rather unnoteworthy here on similar merit. Nonstopmaximum (talk) 10:21, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support on notability; an interesting, newsworthy story which is being covered here in the U.S. as well. However, the issues with the articles still have not been addressed. Davey2116 (talk) 08:45, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  mike gigs, precedent has established that an experienced nominator and an experienced admin together constitute consensus for recent death nomination. An RD nom doesn't even need a single support. If an admin is confident the article quality is good enough, they can post. I haven't seen an RD being pulled from ITN for at least the past year and half. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 19:38, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  mike gigs does have a valid point; this article is definitely on the brief side and I welcome Kees08 to joining ITN as the most recently promoted admin (and thus "experienced admin" may be pushing it, no offense intended), but unless the article is of more solid quality, I do prefer to wait for more improvement/expansion (and I would have preferred to wait longer for this particular nomination). Just my 2 cents. Spencer^T•C 03:27, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  You can pull it if you like, will not bother me at all. Though including the nominator and myself, there are four supports. I took a look for more sources and did not see anything interesting to add, though that does not mean it doesn't exist! Kees08 (Talk) 07:24, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The nominated event is listed on WP:ITN/R, so each occurrence is presumed to be important enough to post. Comments should focus on whether the quality of the article and update meet WP:ITNCRIT, not the significance.

Nominator's comments: Pre-emptive nomination. Listed in WP:ITN/R. Results will be close so pre-emptively providing blurbs for the two front-running parties gripped in a tie in opinion polls. Blurbs and pictures can be updated as the results become more clear into the evening. 99.244.174.197 (talk) 06:18, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Support but I'm not sure the pre-emptive nomination was necessary. You're right - it's on ITN/R, and so there's no question this will be posted. However, we must avoid posting in haste - we will only put a blurb up when it is clear whether it's a majority/minority parliament, and who has won the majority or won the most seats. As you say, if it's really close, that may take some time to work out. We will only post when we are 100% sure. 88.215.17.228 (talk) 11:06, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
