Title of the article[edit]

What happens after the "Next Labour Party deputy leadership election"? -Roxy, the dog. Esq. wooF 19:49, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Laura Pidcock as a potentital candidate due to loss of seat?[edit]

Laura Pidcock is no longer an MP, although I'm not 100% certain I thought this disqualifies her from Leadership and Deputy Leadership, on these grounds would it not make sense to remove her from the list of potential candidates? Melias C (talk) 18:00, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

They do have to be MPs, so I think it would be fair to remove her from the list. If there were speculation she might run after she'd lost her seat then she should be included, but I haven't seen any. Ralbegen (talk) 20:26, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bold on highest nomination number?[edit]

I've just posted a question at Talk:2020 Labour Party leadership election#Bold on highest nomination number? which also applies to this page - please post any response there. TSP (talk) 16:09, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lists[edit]

Should the new template on the Lists subsection in the leadership article be adopted here as well? Unreal7 (talk) 16:56, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dennis Skinner as endorser for Richard Burgon[edit]

Dennis Skinner is surely notable enough to be mentioned? Almost becoming Father of the House and Member of Parliament for almost 50 years, IIRC the longest serving Labour MP in history? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Comrade TruthTeller (talk • contribs) 20:49, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As with everything on Wikipedia, the standard is simple: what do the sources say?

If the endorsement is that notable, it shouldn't be hard to find a reliable third-party source that has covered it. TSP (talk) 18:43, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed split[edit]

Hello, I am proposing to split the list of PLP/CLP/Affiliate nominations to a new article (Nominations in the 2020 Labour Party deputy leadership election). This is to be uniform with the leadership election page. The overview section and summary table would stay, with the lists moving to said article.

Page has now been split by Unreal7. PinkPanda272 (talk/contribs) 17:41, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
