Joining suit
I copied my edits to the Derek Schmidt, KS A.G. article to here, because essentially it's precisely the same article and situation with one letter in the AG's name changed, and the most recent KC Star article I cited names both A.G.'s. Activist (talk) 16:52, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Non-notable information in Missouri Attorney General section?
The section about Schmitt's career as Missouri Attorney General contains a lot of detail about specific things that don't seem very notable, and reads more like a campaign bio than an encyclopedia article. For what it's worth, these sections were all added by a single user whose only contributions have been to this article. Mwphil (talk) 17:00, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

The section on his legislative career and early life are similarly full of non-notable information and sound exactly like a campaign bio. I have tried to improve them, but they are still pretty bad. I'm not sure about some things that really don't seem very notable, but it's hard to judge. Flowernerd (talk) 01:40, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Schmitt after Dobbs ruling
Shouldn't this article reference Eric Schmitt making Missouri the first state to ban nearly all abortions after Roe v. Wade's overturn? 173.187.145.2 (talk) 16:24, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Renaming article
I feel that Eric S. Schmitt is not a suitable name for this article as Schmitt is seldom referred to with his middle initial, going by search trends and news articles. I am proposing the renaming of this article to Eric Schmitt (politician) for this reason. PJRoRo (talk) 22:54, 28 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I agree with renaming the article but I think it should just be Eric Schmitt since there is only one other person with the same exact name and he is a much lesser known journalist. Putitonamap98 (talk) 03:42, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

To add to article
To add to this article: Schmitt's failure to meaningfully address the child abuse taking place at the Agape Boarding School (located in Stockton, Cedar County, Missouri), something that has been widely covered in the mainstream media. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 17:11, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved to Eric Schmitt. Consensus at last! Favonian (talk) 21:05, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Eric S. Schmitt → Eric Schmitt (politician) – As noted above, he is not referred to with initial. Looking at his campaign website and senate biography and social media shows this to be the case. Alternatively he could be primary topic and moved to Eric Schmitt, but he's just not "Eric S. Schmitt". --Quiz shows 18:01, 7 March 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Favonian (talk) 18:30, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 02:57, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Move back to Eric Schmitt, where this was until Dec 2020. The U.S. Senator is the overwhelming WP:primary topic, with 100x the |Eric_S._Schmitt|%C3%89ric-Emmanuel_Schmitt pageviews of Eric P. Schmitt. Move the dab page to Eric Schmitt (disambiguation). - Station1 (talk) 08:12, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Relisting comment: Hoping to get consensus for either the original proposal or a promotion of this article to primary topic. Favonian (talk) 18:30, 14 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Move back to Eric Schmitt - He is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. He's a US senator. I think he clearly trumps the journalist Eric P. Schmitt in notability.  Iamreallygoodatcheckers talk 20:02, 14 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Move back to Eric Schmitt – Eric S. has had much higher pageviews than the other Eric Schmitt, Eric P., since 2016 or so. In terms of long-term notability, Eric S. also has a stronger case. Eric S. filed several major lawsuits when he was Missouri Attorney General. Eric P. hasn't done anything that would bring him to the same level of notability.
