IOC election

some confusion on the main ITNC page, but i think this should be ITNR as the largest sporting in the world that involves the largest/multi-sport viewership. The president does play a role in decisions like participation or trans issues. The previous eleciton was also posted, but not as ITNR. Sportsnut24 (talk) 13:05, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose adding to ITNR. Given the level of opposition this is getting, it's premature to add this to ITNR which is for things that always have consensus about importance. If this and the next one are both posted then that is the time to consider adding it to the recurring list. To be clear I'm not opposing the posting of the current nomination (I don't have a strong opinion on that). Thryduulf (talk) 14:11, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The IOC has zero political power, the reason we do post elections of country rules as well as the UN Sec. General. It does not rise to why we have that as ITNR. Masem (t) 14:17, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose If an individual appointment can meet WP:ITNSIGNIF then that one can be posted, but I see no evidence that IOC appointments always meet ITNSIGNIF, so we shouldn't presume they are always notable. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:15, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I supported the posting of the current nomination, as it did make the news with K Coventry as first female and African IOC head, and I don't think we should restrict ITN to disregard any elections that are not national elections. It should be for users to determine the notability of such other elections on a case-by-case basis. However, I don't think it's the time (yet) to add IOC elections to ITNR - we actually didn't post the last IOC election (which was T Bach's re-election for a shortened 4-year term in 2021, with near unanimity), and it's too early to judge whether Coventry will run again 8 years from now (maybe also unopposed) and whether that will make the news then.

Image border

A border was added to the image in this edit on 10 March (I think because a light-colored image was being used). It was not removed afterwards, but should be. — Goszei (talk) 01:07, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed it. Masem (t) 01:16, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest: Impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol

Yeah, I know, don't suggest here per header - but the instructions on how to suggest stuff are arcane, there is no nice tool like for DYKs, so I don't feel like jumping through the hoops and doing this old-school for 5m. Anyway, this is big news in Korea, and on April 4 the local Supreme Court will rule on this. I just got an @ from my emabassy warning of expected mass protests and demonstrations. If the president is impeached, it would be newsworthy - keep an eye on that, and I hope someone will nominate this. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:52, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hasn't Kim been impeached already? If yes, what is this impending ruling about, then? Howard the Duck (talk) 10:16, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, willfully disobeying rules won't get this posted, at least according to your wishes lol. Howard the Duck (talk) 10:37, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

He has been impeached, and we posted about that in December, but it seems a decision on whether to actually remove him from office is due in two days. My suggestion would be that should that removal take place, we wait until his successor is known, presumably after an election, and then post the whole thing then. He's de facto out of office already anyway, so his formal removal wouldn't have any tangible effects on the ground. — Amakuru (talk) 10:41, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Following precedent from Impeachment of Park Geun-hye, the new president should take office within 60 days, and that Park's actual removal from office was posted at ITN, then the ensuing presidential election was also posted. We have posted several items from this crisis already, so would people here be fine with posting 2 South Korean blurbs in 2 months or just one?

Masaki Kashiwara

The Abel prize is ITN/R and only held up due to concerns that the article is too technical. After the article is improved and a few supports saying the article is now good enough, the discussion is deleted.

This is a setback for ITN topic diversity. 121.6.104.76 (talk) 22:12, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article was not updated before it was deemed stale (as it was nominated in the midst of several other stories). That It took that long to get to quality is why UT wasn't posted and has been archived. Masem (t) 22:27, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The problem was article quality. If the Masaki Kashiwara article had been brought up to WP:ITNQUALITY, it would have been posted. There was almost a week between the announcement of the award and the ITN nomination being closed as stale - plenty of time to improve the article. In future, I recommend you put your effort into bring the article quality up rather than complaining about the nomination process. Modest Genius ^talk 11:42, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
