message: Where is the history?  Right now this article is barely more than a stub.  Who have been the major holders of this position, and how are they remembered?  At the very list, the article should link to some list somewhere.

message: Would people please stop repeatedly replacing Spicer's name with Huckabee's? He's in the role still until August and she's still Deputy until that time. Her own page gets this correct. Tomalak Geret'kal (talk) 20:52, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

message: Jennifer Palmieri's term, having begun in January 2013, and ended in April 2015, was in office for a period greater than two years, and not one year, 355 days, as the table claims.  Could someone fix this?  2606:A000:1219:4037:EC26:5B45:F229:C16F (talk) 03:50, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

message: This article should absorb White House Director of Strategic Communications -- This is a completely fictional job with no real responsibilities.  The title was created solely as a resume-builder for Hope Hicks, when she leaves the role it will cease to exist.  At best this role should be referenced on the merged page as a stupid curiosity about different ways this corrupt administration wasted government funds on completely unqualified sycophants and built the most dysfunctional Comms operation in the history of the Presidency.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.132.212.103 (talk) 01:22, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with "Strategic Communications" 

message: The White House today announced the following: 
Though some may see the title of "Assistant to the President [...] for Communications" as being the de jure White House Communications Director, I would beg to differ.
The Wall Street Journal, in its article about the appointment, notes that "[Shine] will oversee the White House communications office, but won’t take the title of communications director, a job that has been vacant since March." The Washington Post concurs in its article, stating that Shine joins as "deputy chief of staff for communications"; knowing the Post, if Shine was Communications Director, the folks there would say so explicitly. As of 18:53 UTC, on July 5, The New York Times has not released an article, but in its earlier coverage, it notes that Shine is "is expected to be offered the job of White House communications director", but the Associated Press and its sources noted that "Shine will be joining the Trump administration as deputy chief of staff for communications". 
Absent definitive word from either the White House or the NYT/AP/WaPo/WSJ that Shine is joining, explicitly, as "White House Communications Director", I would like to argue that his name should not be included in the interim. (Because he's obviously going to be the de facto Director.) —Javert2113 (Siarad.|¤) 18:56, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Update: from the NYT article: "Mr. Shine’s title is also assistant to the president, though his other duties remain unclear." As such, he is (most likely) the de facto Director, but not the de jure one. —Javert2113 (Siarad.|¤) 22:24, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
