Talk:Gerald Morin

Proposed merge of Draft:Gerald Morin into Gerald Morin
Draft contains much more information, so that this will no longer be a stub. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:56, 4 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Support merge. The draft is a complete article, the stub is really a placeholder. Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 19:17, 4 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Support merge Thank you. Ultimately, that is the plan. I wanted to check on the content to ensure that it is suitable for use on Wikipedia, as I am not overly familiar with some of the rules, style guides, etc., especially as they relate to biographies of living individuals, and I need a second opinion (or more). I am waiting from permission from the individual the entry is about before I add the content to his profile. Littlejohn657 (talk) 20:01, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Support only a very careful merge, excluding any of the excessively promotional material present in the draft ("he was a key player in directing decisions that set the direction for the Métis Nation in Canada" and similarly blatant PR). Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:39, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Comments on neutrality of tone

 * Due to the nature of the political structures of Métis Nation governments, especially during the early years of governance building, the elected provincial leadership, especially the executive, of each of the provincial nations and the national president have a lot of direct influence on political decision making, administration and management, and ensuring the decisions of the respective assemblies are carried out. For example, at the Métis National Council, the General Assembly is supposed to meet every 12–18 months (though it has not met since November 2018), and the Board of Governors meets about as often, maybe a bit more ( it has also not met since Nov 2018). In Métis Nation—Saskatchewan, the Métis Nation Legislative Assembly is the governing authority of MN-S and is supposed to meet twice each year (though often it is only once per year, and has met only once since November 2019 due to the pandemic), the Provincial Métis Council forms the cabinet and ensures operations are running smoothly and they meet approximately every two months, which leaves the Executive responsible for ensuring the decision of the Assemblies and Councils are carried out along with support from administrative staff, in addition to ensuring the mandate that they were elected on is carried out. The president of MN-S is the chief political spokesperson of MN-S, and the president of MNC is the Chief Spokesperson of MNC. This is why someone like Gerald Morin has had a lot of influence in his elected offices in Métis Nation governments and organizations. Littlejohn657 (talk) 04:55, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
