Talk:Chaim Deutsch

Congressional loss a landslide?
Hi there! Any objection to stating that Deutsch lost his 2020 Congressional campaign in a landslide? That level of precision is typically considered notable, both in the press and other Wikipedia articles, e.g. Jimmy Carter. Wasn’t sure if you objected or edited it out to better fit the sentence structure in your edits (which I appreciate btw!). Brooklynpedestrian (talk) 04:30, 13 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi and thanks for adding the election results box! The issue with that edit was mainly just that the election isn't certified yet and that votes (mainly absentees, which the BOE reported to be over 40,000 for this district) are still being counted. So while it is true that he in all likelihood lost in a landslide, it won't actually be a fact until those other votes are counted and the results become certified. You could reword it to say "Unofficial election night results based on in-person votes showed him losing in a landslide" or something like that or maybe just wait until the certified results are out and then update it. I'm guessing it will be in a few weeks/month, or at the latest in September as that's when the General Election ballot has to be finished. Personally I'm not 100% sure if the word landslide applies when there are multiple opponents who all loose in a landslide-like fashion. The wikipedia article you cited for instance mostly refers to landslide victories and not landslide losses. But I'm guessing it could and wouldn't delete it if you choose to keep it. Though I think simply putting that he only got 9% (or whatever it'll end up being) speaks for itself and avoids that issue. MidwoodMartin (talk) 04:55, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree with the semantics/pragmatics that in a multi-candidate race, only the winner has the potential to win in a landslide, but nobody can lose in one. JesseRafe (talk) 13:01, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Infobox status
What's the problem with putting "status=Expelled" in the infobox? He is not currently in office, so it seems to me the status field should be set to something that indicates this. GA-RT-22 (talk) 05:06, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
