Talk:Results of the 2022 Australian federal election in Tasmania

Candidates
We have an entire article listing candidates. It's not clear to me how duplicating this & adding bio details of non-notable people is an improvement. Doesn't take up too much space with only 5 electorates in Tasmania, but will become huge in the larger states. The main reason I have undone the edits by however is that it breaks the excerpt of the articles at the division pages, eg Division of Bass and results pages, eg Electoral results for the Division of Bass. --Find bruce (talk) 03:58, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * , including basic biographical candidate information is a commonly accepted practice for other elections. See 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois as just one of literally thousands of examples. Generally, this is used as a way for readers to quantify candidates who may not be notable, such as an Independent candidate being a local councillor of some sort, for example. Including additional information is also a way to prevent articles from becoming lists of nothing but statistics. Article excerpts were a problem I did not foresee, but they could be easily fixed.

 * If you want to make a significant change to what information is included & where, this is something that should be discussed. I would suggest raising it as a RfC at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian politics Find bruce (talk) 04:52, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I mean, that's why WP:BRD exists I suppose. Devonian Wombat (talk) 05:54, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
