Talk:Glasgow Govan (Scottish Parliament constituency)

message: I have just reverted to the older, template-independent info box, because the newer box includes glaring inaccuracies. Would be a good idea to fit the map into the older info box, with caption ".. within the Glasgow electoral region". Laurel Bush 09:51, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I note removal of reference to Renfrewshire. The Holyrood constituency was created in 1999 with the boundaries of the Govan Westminster constituency. In 1999, and until 2005 (when the Westminster constituency was replaced with new constituencies), the Westminster constituency did include part of Renfrewhire, and, at present, the Holyrood constituency is unchanged, retaining the boundaries it had when created. See The 5th Periodical Report of the Boundary Commission for Scotland, which details 2005 changes to boundaries of Westminster constituencies, and shows pre 2005 Glasgow Govan covering part of Renfrewshire.

replies: text: Glasgow Govan only covered Renfrewshire because the administrative borders changed in 2002, so in 1999 the constituency was entirely in the City of Glasgow council area. Catchpole 10:57, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

text: From the Boundary Commission for Scotland 5th Periodical Report - 14/12/04 -  paragraph 16 of the Glasgow City Council area review:
"16. Following publication of our provisional proposals, the boundary between Glasgow City Council area and Renfrewshire Council area was amended by The Glasgow City and Renfrewshire Council Boundaries (Braehead) Amendment Order 2002. Accordingly, on 23 October 2003, we published revised recommendations to reflect the realignment of the boundary between Glasgow City Council area ward 51 (Drumoyne) and Renfrewshire Council area ward 27 (Deanside). Whilst an area of land was transferred between the Council areas, no electors were affected by this boundary change."
So an area of land was moved but as nobody lived there, the population of the constituencies didn't change. Catchpole 12:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: An IP and User:A Sheridan seem intent on including, in great detail, the details of the Youth Parliament elections on this page I come here to gain consensus. The Youth Parliament has no connection in any way with the Parliamentary process that is the subject of the article. Additionally, there is no independent coverage of the results (or even coverage on the SYP website) so the detail is unverifiable. The lack of independent coverage also means the added material fails the most basic of notability tests. The material as far as I can see fails inclusion criteria and by placing it within an article dealing with Parliamentary process gives it undue weight. To my mind it needs to be excised.

replies: text: I would like evidence from reliable sources that establish notability and provide independent verifiability. Until then, the added material fails the inclusion criteria. Please do not add it again before addressing these concerns. Nuttah (talk) 20:44, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

text: Short answer, to show that you are an established expert you would have to supply independent reliable sources stating that you were. To establish that the event is notable, you need to provide independent, 3rd party coverage of the election. If notability is established, if you can show that your 'work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications' it may be able to be used to verify what is claimed.
