Talk:Hyndburn (UK Parliament constituency)

message: Hi, my edit was removed, I assure you it was not a party release, it is a result of the Jones article being deleted this week due to candidates not being notable in their own right,so there was some comment about this and I have seen it done at other pages although I cant remember where, that a small simple comment can be put here about all the candidates as they are not notable enough for there own article, each candidate could have a small comment, a couple of lines, any thoughts?

replies: text: I think the problem with WP:POLITICIAN is its US-bias. The culture of candidates and their quotes is very different to ours. I am also doubtful that a substantial paragraph from the candidate promoting the Labour cause goes further than it should on an article which, ultimately, should be the first point of reference for people looking for election results, not statements from candidates. doktorb wordsdeeds 15:56, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Complete Labour party press release

message: I am trying to add a few small cited comments about the candidates for the 2010 election here, the candidates do not meet the notability for their own article and Jones article was AFD'd the other day, this approach was suggested in a discussion regarding altering the wording the political notability. I don't see any problem with it and think a little added detail about the candidate would be informative to the reader. I have created a redirect for jones and would create one for the others too.The discussion regarding altering the wording to the political notability where this position was suggested is here .

replies: text: Here is the associated discussion from there...In re-reading WP:POLITICIAN , I'm realizing the language we have there largely already says what I would want it to say (see my above comment) though we could strengthen it a bit so it comes off more as "this is what we do" rather than "here's what you might do." I would suggest we change the sentence "In the case of candidates for political office who do not meet this guideline, consider redirecting to an appropriate page covering the election or political office sought in lieu of deletion" to read as follows:
In the case of candidates for political office who do not meet this guideline, the general rule is to redirect to an appropriate page covering the election or political office sought in lieu of deletion. Relevant material from the biographical article can be merged into the election or political office page if appropriate. The is the position there that got support and the position I was editing to here. Off2riorob (talk) 07:30, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  RFC - Adding a small comment in the article about the 2010 election candidates 

message: The entire section on the candidates was properly deleted.  However it might have eben better if the references had been retained, and attached to the candidates names in the Election Box, possibly by placing an external link in the space for the votes cast.  These links will not be needed once the election is over.  Peterkingiron (talk) 01:20, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  2010 election 

message: Unlogged in editors have been altering the article, including election figures.  They have also altered text on proposed boundary reorganisation, which may be appropriate.  Could some one investigate what has gone on and rectify it?  Peterkingiron (talk) 11:02, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
