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: Change of the chief executive of a major country, WP:ITNR. Sandstein 10:14, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Technically, we already posted the election results, but this may be additionally notable because it means Germany will get a new chancellor after Angela Merkel's 16 years in office. --Tone 10:39, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Germany has a parliamentary system and the result of the chancellor election was open until this day. "except when that change was already posted as part of a general election" does not apply here. LenaAvrelia (talk) 10:41, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Support per LenaAvrelia. In line with other such events (see Austria, which had three chancellors in three months). Article looks to be in a good shape. Regards SoWhy 11:15, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Can we please use this photo instead though? 😅 Regards SoWhy 11:19, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Since a coalition had to be formed, it was not a guarantee he was going to be Chancellor after the general election, so I think this qualifies for posting. 331dot (talk) 11:17, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose article is BLP and contains many unreferenced claims. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 11:58, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Support - as 331dot says, the general election result did not guarantee Scholz would become chancellor - a "Jamaica coalition" of CDU/CSU, Greens and FDP would also have had a solid majority, but Greens and FDP decided to support Scholz (SPD) instead of Laschet (CDU). --141.100.201.16 (talk) 12:03, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose due to CNs. I concur with this being tagged as ITNR. GreatCaesarsGhost 12:14, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose about 10 CN tags and an entire section orange tagged as needing more citations. That needs to be fixed if this is to be posted. --Jayron32 12:47, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I would support if the citation needed tags get fixed. Heythereimaguy (talk) 13:05, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

- Support Article is short, but sufficient, level of coverage by reputable news sources demonstrate significance. -Jayron32 19:08, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose – The description of the event totals 168 words, or half a stub. The rest is BG & reax. Too thin for MP promotion. – Sca (talk) 19:13, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Support - substantial death toll. CaffeinAddict (talk) 04:29, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Blurb: Sarco suicide device passes legal review for use in Switzerland (Post)
News source(s): SWI
Credits:
- Nominated by Count Iblis (talk · give credit)
Article updated
- Oppose, per the sourced article "Some 1,300 people died by assisted suicide in Switzerland in 2020 using the services of the country’s two largest assisted suicide organisations, Exit (no connection to Exit International) and Dignitas." This is not the first such means of assisted suicide in Switzerland; it may have been more newsworthy if this made Switzerland the first country to approve of assisted suicide. --Masem (t) 01:27, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Support This has made the news, although could be more suitable for DYK instead. 99.247.176.90 (talk) 02:29, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose -- this is interesting, but I fail to see how this is worthy of ITN at all. Switzerland already has legal euthanasia. -- RockstoneSend me a message! 04:19, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose both on quality (
Nitschke plans to release the open source plans for the Sarco by 2019.
) and importance. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 04:27, 7 December 2021 (UTC) - Oppose. Minor story. The blurb is misleading, as it implies official approval for the device; in reality, as quoted in the cited Swissinfo article, the inventor merely told a journalist that he asked unnamed lawyers about the legality of the device and that he is "very pleased with the result", whatever that means. Sandstein 11:16, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose. Aside from what has been stated, I would wonder if we should post information about suicide devices on the Main Page, even if legal in the country involved. Assisted suicide isn't legal in many places. 331dot (talk) 13:24, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Nominator's comments: Article looks pretty good. _-_Alsoriano97 (talk) 23:03, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- The blurb should include "following the resignation of Alexander Schallenberg" and some more context on the replacement would be helpful in the article, it is a bit short at the moment on that part. --Tone 23:08, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- Done. Thanks! _-_Alsoriano97 (talk) 23:15, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Nominator's comments: This is a notable ruling against a famous political figure and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. --Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 08:21, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- Question Should we wait? There are more charges against her and it can add up to life in prison. Scaramouche33 (talk) 08:49, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose Significance is somewhat diminished as we already posted the coup in February, and the section on this period needs a rewrite as it is currently proseline with lots of extraneous detail. GreatCaesarsGhost 13:06, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- Support – Long-term political cause célèbre comes to a head. Widely and prominently covered, with much criticism of Myanmar military regime. Favor Alt1. – Sca (talk) 13:37, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- Support The coup being posted shouldn't diminish someone going to prison [again] when they received international coverage for efforts to come out of it. Gotitbro (talk) 15:00, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- Can do with a better blurb though, too lengthy and incoherent for the average reader. Gotitbro (talk) 20:30, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
CommentSupport. She received a partial pardon and will serve two years (Al Jazeera and all sources above). -SusanLesch (talk) 18:21, 6 December 2021 (UTC)- Support because it's easily important enough. If she's later convicted of anything else, the blurb can be adjusted accordingly. Jim Michael (talk) 20:05, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- Support, It is an important news and will start other events as well. Alex-h (talk) 21:11, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- Blurbed in French, German versions of ITN. – Sca (talk) 23:15, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- Is anyone actually reviewing the article? GreatCaesarsGhost 00:00, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- I just glanced through and there's a fair number of unsourced statements near the bottom half of the article. I'd also argue there's far too much excessive detail on her history as related to any litigation or complaints, but that's not an ITN item as long as it appears neutrally written. --Masem (t) 01:29, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Support per Alex-h, Gotitbro, and Jim Michael. Fakescientist8000 (talk) 01:38, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: The Aung San Suu Kyi article has about 20 {cn} tags, and the 2021 arrest and trial section consists of mostly proseline. Please fix. --PFHLai (talk) 05:51, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose Too much tags. Hanamanteo (talk) 08:15, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose There are too many tags for this to be ready on time. It is also a borderline case for me in terms of significance of news given that we already posted the coup in February. So lets wait for more charges against her so that there is more time for the article tags to be fixed. Tradediatalk 12:34, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Asleep at the switch. – Sca (talk) 13:44, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
Oppose Unfortunately, the article has far too many CN tags to be posted on the main page. If someone wanted this posted on the main page, they would work on fixing that problem. --Jayron32 19:12, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Support Citation issue has been fixed. It's good for the main page now. --Jayron32 11:50, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Have fixed all the tags that I could find. @Jayron32, Sca, and Tradedia: please review the votes. Gotitbro (talk) 11:13, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Proseline issues remain. There's a graph about her being moved, one about the trial beginning, and another about a delay in the trial when she got sick. Collectively, this reads very poorly. Our goal here is to encourage quality updates by featuring them; this is not quality. GreatCaesarsGhost 12:09, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Nominator's comments: Former US Senator and presidential candidate. Article needs some work but is close to ready. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 16:51, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
Think it could work as a blurb, Bob Dole was a massive figure in American politics for over two decades. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 17:18, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment – Likely blurb. Very widely covered, much subject info. – Sca (talk) 17:38, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb It wasn't his run for president that made him notable, it was his role in the Senate, and that section of the article is far far too short to show that (that's orange tagged right now). The article is ready for RD outside that orange tag. --Masem (t) 17:42, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Household name for decades. Suggest we wait at least a while for article development. – Sca (talk) 17:51, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- In the US, absolutely, but not so much worldwide politics. Not a strong reason to post as a blurb (particularly with the article's lack of his political record outside of Presidental runs). --Masem (t) 18:07, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- "2. oppose an item because the event is only relating to a single country, or failing to relate to one. This applies to a high percentage of the content we post and is unproductive." I don't know if this applies here but to me it kind of does. KingOfAllThings (thou shalt chatter!) 00:26, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- My original oppose is not related to just being the US, but pointing out that the above "household name" is relying on being a US centric aspect. --Masem (t) 00:33, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

- Tentative support RD, Oppose blurb Article does have an expansion tag so I would support once that has been sorted. As for the blurb, to be blunt (as Futurama once put it) he was a "Presidential loser". We don't tend to do blurbs for people who lost their one and only major election for head of state. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 17:57, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Support RD pending removal of citation needed tags and accompanying orange banner in awards section. Tag on Senate section is no reason to hold back though. Bob Dole... Bob Dole... bob... dole... - Floydian τ ¢ 18:20, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb per Masem. He's as important as you say he is in the United States, but that doesn't mean it's important beyond its borders. And that's not the case. He doesn't pass the Thatcher/Mandela filter and that he was a failed candidate for the presidency of that country and a senator for many years IMO is no reason for him to be blurb-worthy. One section is orange-tagged. _-_Alsoriano97 (talk) 18:34, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb. Worldwide, Dole is probably mostly known for being lampooned in The Simpsons. Never served in a cabinet, and I can't imagine us considering posting a blurb for a backbencher from another country. ᵹʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 18:43, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose blurb If we go by precedent, the 2008 runner-up with a long Congressional history was also RD only [3]. No disrespect to the deceased, but even in America's closest ally, he's mainly known as the guy speaking in the third person who got abducted by Kang and Kodos. Unknown Temptation (talk) 18:57, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
PhotoPlain RD If anybody had a name that still speaks for itself, it's Bob Dole....Bob Dole! InedibleHulk (talk) 19:03, 5 December 2021 (UTC)- That's a poor reason to include an image. We've only done that when the blurbs have gotten stale, but with the volcano, we clearly have a notable image. --Masem (t) 19:05, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, right. Hadn't thought about what we'd be losing. A striking visage, but clearly no volcano. InedibleHulk (talk) 19:12, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

- Support RD notable person. wizzito | say hello! 22:20, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Support blurb, futile as this may be. Someone has to stand up for the notability of the former Majority Leader of the United States Senate, who effectively shares leadership of the federal legislative branch of the country, which is technically coequal with the executive and judicial branches. I would suggest that someone who holds this position and becomes the leading contender for the U.S. presidency is blurb-worthy. BD2412 T 22:47, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Does the same rationale apply to someone who holds/held the position of leadership of the federal legislative branch of another country, and becomes the leading contender for the head of government of that country? Or does it only apply to US Presidential candidates? Chrisclear (talk) 23:30, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- I think it would depend in part on the structure of the government, and the means by which the position is contended. In parliamentary systems, the titular leader of the legislature often is the head of government. In countries where the legislature is clearly a subservient entity under the control of the executive, it wouldn't matter, and in countries where the head of government is not democratically selected, the meaning of being a "leading contender" for that position is also too shrouded in mystery to matter. I think there are very few countries that actually have three legally coequal branches of government, and a system wherein the leader of one branch can become a leading contender to be democratically elected to head another. BD2412 T 23:37, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- There's a lot of country where the three branches of government coexist equally. See Separation of powers. UK, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, etc. --Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 01:18, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- How many instances are there of leaders of one branch being selected by their party to credibly contend for leadership of another branch? BD2412 T 01:20, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- IDK about other country, but the leader of the armed forces group parliament in my country was elected into presidency in a free and fair election twice. --Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 01:27, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure they'll get a blurb, then. BD2412 T 01:40, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

- Support RD now that all of the missing citations have been added, as far as I could see. Oppose blurb per above: someone in Bob Dole's position would never get a blurb in any other country. We wouldn't blurb William Hague if he died today, why would we blurb Bob Dole? NorthernFalcon (talk) 23:51, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

- Post-posting oppose His senate section is extremely short for a man who has been described the “Lion of the Senate”. I feel that some who approved this were discussing his nobility rather than the state of the article. I’d recommend pulling this until the section (rather important one) is expanded. Once the section is thoroughly expanded then I’ll support a possible blurb. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 05:38, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- I see no sense in asserting that the article is incomplete because it doesn't live up to a purported nickname that doesn't even appear in the article. Lion of the Senate points to someone else. If the section can be expanded, by all means do so, but there is no concrete basis here for asserting that it is lacking. BD2412 T 05:53, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- @BD2412: However all obits cite his long senate career that lasted for decades. If he was a one term senator then sure a short senate section makes sense, but Dole was a Senate leader and longtime GOP Senator. It’s like having an influential actor with a short career section. His senate career section lacks information of his long tenure in the senate. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 15:49, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- You are conflating longevity with productivity, without justification, and your conclusions are therefore incorrect. His senate career section does specify the length of time for which he served in the senate. Show me a source that says that he was known for getting signature legislation passed or the like, and you will have a case for saying there is something missing.

- Post-posting comment – Seems to me we should have waited a bit longer to see how much higher the toll gets. Thirty-five of 56 injuries termed severe, says AlJ.

- Post-response to comment by User:Sca – The source you were posting seems to be outdated. CNN Indonesia says that 102 were injured and most victims suffered burns.

SupportArticle is unusually well-referenced and composed. The very large number of people arrested for this, and the quick reactions from the international community, indicate that this is not a garden variety criminal proceeding. That this is directly related to Islamism and blasphemy is well-supported in sources.

Would also oppose as tabloid fodder; religious violence is somewhat common in the subcontinent. Inflating one story or another is inflammatory. GreatCaesarsGhost 13:31, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Article needs updating
Nominator's comments: This is the opening of the first high-speed railway in Laos. The railway included 167 tunnels and 301 bridges, which consisted over 900 km of its 1035 km length. Previously, the country only had 4 km of railway. Viva Nicolás (talk) 11:53, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose Very interesting article and development. Article is in good shape, however this is not high speed. "suitable for 160 km/h passenger" High-speed rail is defined as >= 250 km/h for new lines and >= 200 km/h for upgraded lines. KittenKlub (talk) 12:41, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

- Support This is a significant link in China's Belt and Road Initiative. See SCMP for some analysis of its strategic significance. The current top blurb is days old and is a similar matter of South Asian development or lack of same. China is getting things done while India isn't. Either way, they are in the news. Andrew🐉(talk) 23:53, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose. This boils down to "railway opens". This isn't even technically a high speed railway. Countries spending money in other countries as diplomacy or part of a geopolitical struggle is common. 331dot (talk) 13:57, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - Laos' first high speed rail doesn't seem to be the key point of the news overall (especially when it should be considered higher-speed rail instead according to definition). This could be significant but the blurb needs to shift the focus. Sun8908 Talk 18:24, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

I know some stuff could be CRYSTALBALL but how does this affect the league now, especially since it's the off season? SpencerT•C 07:04, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment The strike 26 years ago isn't called a lockout on WP, and the lockout 31 years ago is called the seventh work stoppage. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:16, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

- Oppose for now. This is less significant because the season is over. If this goes into next year and prevents the start of the season, that would be more notable. 331dot (talk) 09:36, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- (edit conflict × 2) Oppose. Baseball itself is a sport of little interest to most of the world and some baseball players striking in one country, no matter how "rare" it might be, is not news to most of the world or even the country it's happening in. Even the NYT and WaPo don't consider it newsworthy enough to mention it on the top of their websites, you have to scroll down to find it. On non-US newssites like The Guardian, The Times, Der Spiegel etc. you won't even find it mentioned in their sports sections (they do mention Arsenal's Gabriel repelling home invaders with a baseball bat though which thus would actually be more newsworthy since it's been reported in multiple countries). I agree with TRM that this might well be a good fit for DYK but ITN is already oftentimes too US-centric as it is (plus there is already a baseball-related item in there).

WTA suspends Chinese tournaments

Article updated
Nominator's comments: Seems like a fairly notable development in this story. Unfortunately the Peng Shuai article is woefully undercited at the moment Dumelow (talk) 20:13, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment – Fairly widely covered, However, the update consists of one sentence added to each target article. In the best of all possible worlds, a separate article on the WTA decision and its background would be advisable. But that seems rather unlikely. – Sca (talk) 23:20, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose on quality grounds per Sca's comments and the fact that I had to add a {{blp sources}} tag because of all the unsourced paragraphs in the Career section. Undecided on significance. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:23, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- Question what is the actual impact of this? There's been no WTA tournaments in China or Hong Kong for 2 years because of the pandemic, and none confirmed for either country in the 2022 WTA Tour so far as I can see. So this suspension seems to just be symbolic (unless I'm missing something). Joseph2302 (talk) 00:02, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Joseph2302 The BBC radio story I was listening to this morning said this would affect 10 tournaments (including 1 in Hong Kong) in 2022, with a total of $100m prize money. There is (or would have been), for example, a tournament with $14m prize money in Shenzhen. [9] Black Kite (talk) 15:19, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Support in principle Looks like acceptably widespread coverage. Pulling out of China is a significant move for the WTA; three of the top tier tournaments (two WTA 1000 tournaments and the WTA Finals) are contracted to be played there. --RaiderAspect (talk) 03:26, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose As Joseph points out, there's no immediate changes in any planned tournaments from this. It would be different if this was a much larger sporting organization, like the Olympics, pulling out of China. --Masem (t) 03:30, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Support, per RaiderAspect. The comparison to the Olympics is an unreasonable expectation to place, in my opinion. The world has taken notice of this story, with the article noting that the EU has expressed concern, adding further weight to this story. Canadianerk (talk) 05:27, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - the article is a long way from being ready on quality, so discussion about significance is a bit moot at this point. I am leaning oppose on that ground per Joseph and Masem though, on the grounds that we're not a news ticker and the overall concrete impact of this seems limited. — Amakuru (talk) 10:33, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose – Further coverage on Thursday includes Chinese condemnation: [10] [11]. However, the WTA target article still contains only one sentence about this event. Not enough. – Sca (talk) 13:38, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Well the target article in the blurb is actually Peng Shuai, which has 4 sentences on it. But both Peng Shuai and Women's Tennis Association are orange-tagged, so neither can be used for an ITN target currently. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:00, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, well the target article in the nomination box is Peng Shuai all right, but the proposed blurb also contains a link to the WTA.
Kinda confusing for an old dog like me. Still oppose nom. – Sca (talk) 15:19, 2 December 2021 (UTC)- PS: Made a couple anti-POV edits. – Sca (talk) 15:26, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, well the target article in the nomination box is Peng Shuai all right, but the proposed blurb also contains a link to the WTA.
- Question How common is it for us to post an event at ITN (in this case the suspension) that is seemingly not notable enough to deserve its own article? (Note: this is a genuine question, and should not be misinterpreted as an Oppose, or at least not yet; indeed I was originally thinking of supporting, until I noticed this aspect of the matter.) Tlhslobus (talk) 17:53, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
- Not very common, although it sometimes happens. – Sca (talk) 19:42, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
- I think the sexual assault allegations are very much notable enough for an event article. Peng Shuai#Sexual assault allegation and disappearance has become long and unwieldy, and the fact that no one hasn't done it yet doesn't mean that we shouldn't split it into its own page and replace the section with a shorter summary. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:14, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
- Sexual allegations are made every day. Further, they are just that – allegations – until corroborated in some fashion.
– Sca (talk) 13:30, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Sexual allegations are made every day. Further, they are just that – allegations – until corroborated in some fashion.
- That section needs massive trimming. Remember that we're not a newspaper and should not be reporting day to day events at that level of detail, but what's enduring about it. The section's not inappropriate but it is overly detailed for an encyclopedia given that we're talking only allegations and speculation. --Masem (t) 20:18, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
- A sports related controversy upto an ITN level blurb would have to be a country wide doping ban or similar. Don't see the significance otherwise. Gotitbro (talk) 07:04, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose How is this still open after a week? Obviously there is no consensus to post and at this point the story has entirely left the news cycle. Regardless, the target article is still missing several sources and only dedicates a single sentence to the story. BSMRD (talk) 05:34, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
