David Cameron[edit]

Nominator(s): P 53

This article is about former British Prime Minister David Cameron. Mr Cameron served as the Prime Minister from 2010 to 2016. He resigned because he campaigned for Britain to remain in the UK, but the voters decided to leave. 2 months later, he resigned as Member of Parliament for Witney and campaigned for Robert Courts who is incumbent MP for Witney. Before Mr Cameron became the Prime Minister, he was Leader of the Opposition for 5 years until he won the general election in 2010.

However, even he won the election, the Conservatives didn't have enough seats, so he constituted a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats until 2015 when the Conservatives won enough seats to constitute their own government. In 2016, after the referendum, Cameron resigned and Theresa May became his successor. P 53 (talk) 08:26, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think there are a few problems with this article. The "Styles" section is unsourced and unnecessary. The "Ancestry" section is unsourced. The political commentary section seems like a list of all the content people can find on Cameron, rather than just what is really notable. The "Comments on other parties and politicians" section is a strange one - why are these comments collected in one place rather than being in chronological order? I think the opinion polling section should feature just Cameron's personal opinion polling rather than his party's as well. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 09:21, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural close -- sorry, apart from the points raised by Absolutelypuremilk, FAC instructions require nominators to be familiar with the article under review so they can deal adequately with comments, or to have consulted with major contributors to the article prior to the nom; the nominator appears to be a brand-new account that doesn't meet either requirement, so I'll be archiving this shortly.
