Talk:List of Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign endorsements/Archive 2

The campaign is over
The election was a week ago. Why are endorsements still being added to this article? It's kind of the past the point of being relevant. Liz Read! Talk! 06:42, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * If the clear endorsement was published before or on election day and that is reported by a reliable independent secondary source, I don't see why it cannot be added any time. There were quite a few outstanding edit requests apart from anything editors find later. --Mirokado (talk) 01:01, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

still to be considered
These involve, at least mostly, performances at campaign meetings. --Mirokado (talk) 20:02, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

I am not sure about adding these.
 * Does performing at a campaign event count as an endorsement?
 * The IP has recently updated the requests with more detailed justifications, so it is worth taking a fresh look.

Pinging recent editors of the article:, , , , , ,

Please have a look at the following requests and respond if possible. Also please have a look at the request about Evo Morales at. Thank you. --Mirokado (talk) 14:03, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Mirokado, they didn’t just perform at a concert. It says they helped out or supported or campaigned with Biden which is considered an endorsement. “ A Night at a Pub for Joe, a virtual rally, is inviting Irish Americans to come together in support of Joe Biden.“ is different from just saying “James Galway and Matt Molloy performed at the event”. “ Musical entertainment has always been used as a way to promote, whether it be for an ad or a movie. In this case, Biden is not only raising money for his shot in the White House, but also may increase his chances of getting more votes with well-known artists showing their support” is different than saying “these artists performed at a Joe Biden event”. 2600:1002:B113:38BF:C0CC:220D:DBA8:B3CD (talk) 16:55, 1 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Mirokado, thank you very much. Now for the jazz artists, I think you can add those as well as endorsements since it says they are joining forces to benefit Biden’s campaign and are also part of a group called Jazz for Biden. However if you don’t agree, please let me know why. Thank you! 2603:301B:2702:AE00:41E3:A46D:319E:FAEC (talk) 02:40, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Add James Galway, Glen Hansard, and Matt Molloy (musicians) Here is the exact wording from the article “ A Night at a Pub for Joe, a virtual rally, is inviting Irish Americans to come together in support of Joe Biden.“ should be added https://www.irishcentral.com/events/a-night-at-a-pub-for-joe-biden

 * , wonderful! Much appreciated. Would you mind taking a look at some of the above artists? I personally think they are all endorsements but maybe some are not. At least please add the ones referring to performing at “Team Joe Sings” which is a campaign where musical artists perform in support of Biden. Also please add Jim Bolger, former pm of New Zealand. Thanks!

 * I added Bolger and the musicians that I had heard of. Thanks for the sources!Pennsylvania2 (talk) 22:46, 3 November 2020 (UTC)


 * thank you, I know everyone’s so busy today! Below are just the two references for those participating in “Team Joe Sings”. Even though these aren’t the most well known musicians, these are the ones who probably campaigned the most and most directly for Biden. It looks like some other members of this campaign have already been added but those performing at the last two concerts were not. If you wouldn’t mind taking a look, that would be great, thank you! I’m the meantime I’ll be scouring the internet for more additions! 2600:1002:B113:38BF:E4B8:B6B9:7CA6:B9F2 (talk) 22:58, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Pennsylvania2, this is it. It was previously rejected by someone else because they were not sure it was an endorsement but said theyd let someone else make the call. What do you think?
