Make it an article

Can you turn this page from a draft to an article? Please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:40a:8480:1750:cc0f:fa2b:2719:d3ef (talk • contribs)

We generally do not have articles on this subject until there is a Supreme Court vacancy; otherwise, it is idle speculation. However, if there is consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Joe Biden, I will move it. BD2412 T 00:52, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@BD2412: A relatively new user went ahead and recreated the content of this page and published it already, FYI. Snickers2686 (talk) 22:15, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted it and protected the title. Unless there is a consensus to have the page in mainspace absent a live vacancy on the court, I intend to keep it that way. BD2412 T 22:57, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Updates to candidates

I noticed that some of the candidates mentioned have had a change in job status. For example, Lucy Koh was elevated to the Court of Appeals while Alison Nathan might soon be elevated as well. Also, Keisha Lance Bottoms is no longer the mayor of Atlanta. It's no big deal, but are you letting people edit this draft? Or, are you waiting until there is a vacancy to make it into a full-fledged article as you stated? I'm just wondering. Thanks. Losipov (talk) 06:58, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Losipov: Yes, go ahead and edit. BD2412 T 04:47, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Non Black or Male

Why are there any candidates on this page that don't fulfill the requirements of his pledge?Nerguy (talk) 00:26, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For one thing, Biden pledged to appoint a black woman to the Court, not only black women. If he ends up having two or three slots to fill, then there could be several appointments from other demographics (including white men). In this regard, this is no different from Ronald Reagan's campaign pledge to appoint a woman to the Court; he did so, and this did not preclude him from later appointing two men, and elevating another man to Chief Justice.

@BD2412: thank you for the explanation. I have reinstated the nominee I had removed based on my mistake that the article was only referring to potential candidate for the current nomination.Nerguy (talk) 01:19, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Which "Black Woman"?

Is there any information about who this was/is? Vepuei (talk) 07:54, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My bad, should have continued reading the article. Vepuei (talk) 07:59, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
