Wikipedia talk:In the news/Hypothetical nominations
This originated here on Template talk:In the news.
I wanna see how "hypothetical" situations would've been supported by the people here. Feel free to add yours: –Howard the Duck 07:29, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
- Are we supposed to give our rationale behind any support/oppose? Or is this just a vote? I know you didn't state your rationale but you might add later. --BorgQueen (talk) 07:38, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
- We have no clue as to what any of those people are going to do later in their lives. Are we voting based on if they died tomorrow? Therequiembellishere (talk) 07:42, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
- Also, these situations only contain UK and US 'items'. Is there a reason or coincidence? I bet you regretting doing this now! :) --Daviessimo (talk) 07:53, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
- Just votes. And like I said earlier, feel free to add your other potential blurbs. –Howard the Duck 08:28, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
- Howard the Duck didn't reply your question, Therequiembellishere, but I think answer is yes. --BorgQueen (talk) 09:36, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
- What BorgQueen said. Sorry. –Howard the Duck 11:37, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
- Is anybody actually suggesting that these !votes are going to be binding, and that the decision has essentially been made for when/if these events occur? Kevin McE (talk) 08:09, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
- This is just to test the waters. At least we can know if such hypothetical situations would succeed when they become true. –Howard the Duck 13:53, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
- We almost had to use one of these. Aquino was initially reported dead on 24 July. Therequiembellishere (talk) 01:26, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
