This page provides a place to discuss new items for inclusion on In the news (ITN), a protected template on the Main Page (see past items in the ITN archives). Do not report errors in ITN items that are already on the Main Page here— discuss those at the relevant section of WP:ERRORS.

This candidates page is integrated with the daily pages of Portal:Current events. A light green header appears under each daily section – it includes transcluded Portal:Current events items for that day. You can discuss ITN candidates under the header.

Glossary

  • Blurbs are one-sentence summaries of the news story.
    • Altblurbs, labelled alt1, alt2, etc., are alternative suggestions to cover the same story.
    • A target article, bolded in text, is the focus of the story. Each blurb must have at least one such article, but you may also link non-target articles.
  • Articles in the Ongoing line describe events getting continuous coverage.
  • The Recent deaths (RD) line includes any living thing whose death was recently announced. Consensus may decide to create a blurb for a recent death.

All articles linked in the ITN template must pass our standards of review. They should be up-to-date, demonstrate relevance via good sourcing and have at least an acceptable quality.

Nomination steps

  • Make sure the item you want to nominate has an article that meets our minimum requirements and contains reliable coverage of a current event you want to create a blurb about. We will not post about events described in an article that fails our quality standards.
  • Find the correct section below for the date of the event (not the date nominated). Do not add sections for new dates manually – a bot does that for us each day at midnight (UTC).
  • Create a level 4 header with the article name (==== Your article here ====). Add (RD) or (Ongoing) if appropriate.
Then paste the {{ITN candidate}} template with its parameters and fill them in. The news source should be reliable, support your nomination and be in the article. Write your blurb in simple present tense. Below the template, briefly explain why we should post that event. After that, save your edit. Your nomination is ready!
  • You may add {{ITN note}} to the target article's talk page to let editors know about your nomination.

The better your article's quality, the better it covers the event and the wider its perceived significance (see WP:ITNSIGNIF for details), the better your chances of getting the blurb posted.

Headers

  • When the article is ready, updated and there is consensus to post, you can mark the item as (Ready). Remove that wording if you feel the article fails any of these necessary criteria.
  • Admins should always separately verify whether these criteria are met before posting blurbs marked (Ready). For more guidance, check WP:ITN/A.
    • If satisfied, change the header to (Posted).
    • Where there is no consensus, or the article's quality remains poor, change the header to (Closed) or (Not posted).
    • Sometimes, editors ask to retract an already-posted nomination because of a fundamental error or because consensus changed. If you feel the community supports this, remove the item and mark the item as (Pulled).

Voicing an opinion on an item

Format your comment to contain "support" or "oppose", and include a rationale for your choice. In particular, address the notability of the event, the quality of the article, and whether it has been updated.

Please do...

Shortcut
  1. Pick an older item to review near the bottom of this page, before the eligibility runs out and the item scrolls off the page and gets abandoned in the archive, unused and forgotten.
  2. Review an item even if it has already been reviewed by another user. You may be the first to spot a problem, or the first to confirm that an identified problem was fixed. Piling on the list of "support!" votes will help administrators see what is ready to be posted on the Main Page.
  3. Tell about problems in articles if you see them. Be bold and fix them yourself if you know how, or tell others if it's not possible.

Please do not...

Shortcut
  1. Add simple "support!" or "oppose!" votes without including your reasons. Similarly, curt replies such as "who?", "meh", or "duh!" are not helpful. A vote without reasoning means little for us, please elaborate yourself.
  2. Oppose an item just because the event is only relating to a single country, or failing to relate to one. We post a lot of such content, so these comments are generally unproductive.
  3. Accuse other editors of supporting, opposing or nominating due to a personal bias (such as ethnocentrism). We at ITN do not handle conflicts of interest.
  4. Comment on a story without first reading the relevant article(s).
  5. Oppose a recurring item here because you disagree with the recurring items criteria. Discuss them here.
  6. Use ITN as a forum for your own political or personal beliefs. Such comments are irrelevant to the outcome and are potentially disruptive.

Suggesting updates

There are two places where you can request corrections to posted items:

  • Anything that does not change the intent of the blurb (spelling, grammar, markup issues, updating death tolls etc.) should be discussed at WP:Errors.
  • Discuss major changes in the blurb's intent or very complex updates as part of the current ITNC nomination.

Comment - I'm anticipating that this might not gain consensus, but I would consider blurbing Mwinyi... he was the leader of one of the larger countries in Africa for a full ten years, so looked at purely in terms of population numbers ruled over, he'd be a similar case to Tony Blair or Jacques Chirac (whose death we didn't post because of quality concerns, but which would have otherwise been an easy blurb). Obviously in terms of economy size and world status, the leader of Tanzania is less than the leaders of the UK or France, but still worth considering.  — Amakuru (talk) 23:27, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suppot but wait until accession. JM (talk) 16:58, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wait until formal accession. This is probably the least significant expansion because the country is completely surrounded by NATO member states.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 17:03, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not insignificant at all. This expansion essentially turns the Baltic Sea into a NATO lake, not to mention the strategic value of Gotland undermines both Kaliningrad and makes the Suwalki gap way more defendable. Not to mention how much easier it has gotten to defend the baltic states too. TwistedAxe [contact] 17:22, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I disagree, it's probably the most important given Sweden's long politics of neutrality, Turkey's and Hungary's long opposition to it, and the wider geopolitical picture.
    Abcmaxx (talk) 19:35, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sweden’s politics of neutrality is completely irrelevant from a geopolitical viewpoint (it fits well for DYK, though), and we don’t know whether Sweden will meet NATO’s defence guidelines (it seems like half of the member states are non-compliant with the 2% guideline). I don’t object posting this when Sweden accedes, but it’s just filling a gap rather than truly expanding the alliance. For the sake of comparison, Finland’s accession was way more significant because the country shares the longest border with Russia in Europe.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 22:26, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support after formal accession per Kiril Simeonovski & Gödel2200 Ion.want.uu (talk) 17:17, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Close for now Unfortunately, this will take more than "a few days" since Hungary is once again stalling. The vote from its parlament needs to be signed by the president or speaker of the house, and that will take some days, probably late this week or perhaps early next week.[2] After that, the actual signed documents (no e-mail with this) will be flown to Brussels and Washington for the final confirmation.[3] That usually takes about three days. So it might be better to close this now and open a new discussion when everything is done. The item is ITN-worthy even if our biggest contribution to NATO will just be to provide a shortcut for military advances,[4] and the fact that we are a good weapons manufacturer. It's one of the last slots to be filled in in the NATO patchwork and the end of a very long policy of neutrality.[5] (All of this according to Swedish media sources.) In my own opinion: Don't jinx it with premature declarations! ;-) Cart (talk) 09:29, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak oppose - from the Reuters article, "The Palestinian Authority exercises limited governance over parts of the occupied West Bank but lost power in Gaza following a factional struggle with Hamas in 2007" -- which suggests that this is not a big deal. Banedon (talk) 02:49, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Regardless, the PA is the internationally-recognized Palestinian government and holds power over about half of Palestinian territory; this isn’t like the collapse of a recognized government-in-exile with no real power (a la Afghanistan). The Kip 20:37, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Prime Minister is not the head of state or the most powerful office in Palestinian politics. As well as that, I haven't seen any sources that this resignation was in protest of the Hamas War. If Abbas resigned, that would definitely be notable, but the Head of Government of a barely functioning state is iffy PrecariousWorlds (talk) 17:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support on notability, not convinced by the above arguments that it isn't notable because the Palestinian Authority has "limited governance" or is a "barely functioning state", we're not here to judge how powerful states must be to be relevant. We recently blurbed Tuvalu, which has a lot less population than the parts of the West Bank controlled by the PA, so that shouldn't really be an argument. Still, the PM doesn't administer the executive, so notability isn't 100% guaranteed either. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 18:03, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose for now Another police officer approached the scene, aiming a gun at Bushnell off-camera and ordered him to "get on the ground" multiple times is not the kind of claim we can leave without a source. Aaron Liu (talk) 14:01, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Fixed now. Support anything --Aaron Liu (talk) 16:32, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Since this seems like it's going to fail, I'm changing to strong support, per my comment to JM below. Aaron Liu (talk) 00:04, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as RD agreeing that since Bushnell was not a notable person with his own article prior to his death. I would oppose this as its own blurb as well since the death is still unconfirmed (per the article) and there are cn tags ✈ mike_gigs talkcontribs 14:20, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think being notable in life is actually a requirement. Aaron Liu (talk) 14:38, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    To be fair, WP:ITNRD has no requirements whatsoever, it operates as a loose guideline of "may's" and "should's" and "possibly's", but the relevant section 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. The current consensus interpreting this guideline is that if the article is not just the subject's name but rather the name and event ("self-immolation of Aaron Bushnell"), then it is not a biographical article/biography of a living person. Under the current policy, if the article were named just "Aaron Bushnell", it would violate WP:BLP1E as the subject is only notable for this one event. Duly signed, ⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 15:20, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I can't find the consensus discussion. Would you kindly link it? Aaron Liu (talk) 22:10, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't know of any consensus discussions, but I always read biographical Wikipedia article as meaning an article about a person and not an event, and the last two times that an event article was nominated, it failed on the basis that it was not about a person (the death of a Taylor Swift fan at a concert, and the execution of a man using inert gas). JM (talk) 23:23, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    IMO it depends on how much biography. This well-written article clearly wouldn't be blurb-worthy and has a substantial section for biography, so I say it wouldn't hurt to just post his name under RD, especially since, unlike the two articles you mention, the identity of the subject is actually important. We shouldn't oppose this just because generally such articles are notable because of something other than the identity of the victim. Plus, a lot of people are probably looking for the article about it (V22 search apparently hasn't indexed it yet), so this satisfies all of ITN-purpose IMO. Aaron Liu (talk) 00:01, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Death has been confirmed, *Support. nableezy - 14:38, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    And I added a blurb to the nom, given the wide international coverage I think this merits inclusion. See for example, and each of these is taken from the front page of each source, NYT, BBC, Times of Israel, Le Figaro (French), Al Jazeera (Arabic). nableezy - 16:29, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose RD WP:ITNRD specifically says that if the article is a "biographical" article, then it is RD. The listed article only has a very short background section outside of the death (for example, it doesn't say when he was born), meaning I don't think the current form of the article is RD. In addition, there are two cn's. If this gets nominated for a blurb, I will reconsider notability there. Gödel2200 (talk) 15:21, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Ive add a blurb to the nomination. nableezy - 16:05, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for expanding the article. I'm not sure if this reaches notability requirements for a blurb, although if it inspires wide-spread protests or significant changes in the US then I would support doing so. As the nominator I vote Wait on a blurb, but I still support a RD as I don't see any restriction against pages created for notable or exemplary deaths. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 19:45, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:ITNRD says the subject needs a biographical Wikipedia article, and this article, being about a death, is an event article. The last two times an event article was nominated, the nomination failed for that reason (Execution of Kenneth Eugene Smith and Death of Ana Clara Benevides). JM (talk) 23:26, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Conditional support for blurb I will support on notability provided one of the following happens: the event causes protests or other such events to occur; or if this is the first ever self-immolation of an active-duty US service member. The second point was previously an unsourced claim in the lead of the article, which has since been removed. If protests occur, we should mention them in the blurb, and if this is the first self-immolation of an active duty US service member, we should also mention that in the blurb.

Nominator Comment I decided to open Template:Did you know nominations/Self-immolation of Aaron Bushnell instead as I'm not sure if it would fit a blurb, and it seems like most are opposed to a RD on prior precedent. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 21:25, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That’s probably a good solution given the issues here; the current hook is adequate but Godel’s notes on significance may make for solid alt-hooks. The Kip 01:47, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose both per JM. And I'd classify it as already in the scope of ongoing. Jiaminglimjm (talk) 23:01, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support blurb It may be only my ideology--but we shouldn't have to wait for material results (as in protests) to declare if something is notable enough for ITN. Our duty is to post the most significant of news events into the ITN section. This clearly fits that shoe. DecrepitlyOnward (talk) 02:05, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose on notability, for two reasons:
    1. Merely that an otherwise non-notable man publicly killed himself for political reasons and has joined the list of political self-immolations is not sufficiently significant for posting at ITN. This is not the first political self-immolation of a current or former U.S. military member in recent memory (one occurred in 2016 in protest of the VA), nor is it the first self-immolation in protest of military policy to have occurred in recent memory (one occurred in 2014 after Japan began to adopt a more aggressive military posture), nor is the first to have occurred in recent memory in a protest relating to human rights (this sort of thing has been frequent in Tibet; see Self-immolation protests by Tibetans in China for more information on the >100 such cases since 2009).
      Self-immolations catch headlines, but in the grand scheme they don't tend to be that significant. This self-immolation is getting attention because it relates to the war in Gaza, but if this reason alone is why this is getting a nom then is already covered under ongoing. Additionally, we have kept much more significant things (such as the sentencing of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny to the penal camp where he would later die) off of ITN, and I don't see why this act of suicide would be so significant as to merit inclusion here.
    2. This does not meet WP:ITNRD; the article is not a biography, but an article on an event.

Oppose RD since the airman's death is only notable because of its relevance to the Israel-Hamas War as an act of protest, not because the airman is himself notable. --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 01:34, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:ITNPURPOSE is to showcase quality articles and provide a shortcut for current events readers might be searching for, so I don't think such is that needed. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:41, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose RD as not meeting the criteria, weak oppose on blurb as it still made the news to a level but doesn't rise to the notability we'd expect. Plus one could argue it's covered by Ongoing, but seriously, we'd need a good discussion on what is and isn't covered by it in general. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 02:09, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose blurb - Per above. Weak as I think the media coverage of this has been to a large extent, but I feel posting a single act of protest, especially suicide, would set a bad precedent. Would we have blurbed Thích Quảng Đức in Vietnam, I wonder? PrecariousWorlds (talk) 17:12, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Support BLP is well sourced, updated and ready. As the first woman to hold this position in the country's history is indeed significant. IMO, she, as CM, may have more power and influence than the Prime Minister this time but I'm not really sure if this ITN worthy hence weak support. --Saqib (talk) 11:58, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also believe that her governance of the country's most populous province (having population of 130 million people), will remain under intense scrutiny, comparable to that of the PM. --Saqib (talk) 12:35, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral, willing to be convinced - I'm not uniformly against publishing internal political stories. This does feel a bit similar to the First Minister of Northern Ireland case which prompted so much debate recently. But I would like to understand the reasoning better before making a firm !vote. GenevieveDEon (talk) 12:30, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There are two reasons for this. Firstly, she is the inaugural female to assume the position of CM in any province of Pakistan. Secondly, as Saqib mentioned earlier, she may amass greater influence in Pakistani politics over the next five years than the Prime Minister. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 12:47, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To the first, this would be more remarkable if there had not already been a female prime minister of Pakistan. To the second, what she may do in the future is irrelevant, per WP:CRYSTAL. GenevieveDEon (talk) 13:34, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose As GenevieveDEon pointed out, there has already been a female Prime Minister of Pakistan (Benazir Bhutto, who served twice). With this in mind, I do not believe this election is notable enough in and of itself. I would only reconsider if it brings about a very significant shift in policy. That being said, the article for Maryam Nawaz does not indicate the election brought about a large change in policy, so I will oppose unless this is changed. Gödel2200 (talk) 14:27, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose on notability. The article is good, but this is relates to a nation's internal politics, as important as the Punjab province is. I may reconsider if this ends up being of international or large internal significance. Moncoposig (talk) 17:19, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose on significance. There was already a female PM of Pakistan, a CM is a lower level than a PM in Pakistan. JM (talk) 17:43, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
