User talk:Rhododendrites/endorsements

Working comments
(I'm commenting here for simplicity)

I have a few thoughts: - MrX 🖋 20:36, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) I think the criteria you have listed are probably the most important.
 * 2) Should this be proposed as a guideline? Like all guidelines, it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply.
 * 3) It might be a good idea to list a couple or a few links to previous discussions, like any of these: Talk:Endorsements in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries (and others on the same page), Talk:Endorsements in the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries/Archive 1, Talk:Endorsements in the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries/Archive 1, Talk:Endorsements in the 2017 United Kingdom general election
 * 4) Do we need a criteria for how to handle endorsements from fringe endorsers, for example a well know white supremacist endorsing a presidential candidate? (This comes up quite bit and it's a bone of contention.)


 * Moved to talk page because for some reason my brain revolts at the idea of talking on a non-talk page. :)


 * 2 - Which guideline would it go in?
 * 3 - Indeed. I have a couple others to add to this.
 * 4 - My inclination is that the question of which kinds of people to include seems like a can of worms best dealt with separately, as a potentially complicating factor. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 03:11, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
 * 2. Possibly a new guideline (WP:Political endorsements) under the WP:NPOV umbrella, similar to WP:FRINGE.
 * 3. The previous discussions are also the justification for bring a proposal forth.
 * 4. Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

Posted. Village_pump_(proposals). I don't really have an opinion whether this should be a new guideline, a WikiProject page, or just linked from somewhere as an RfC. I'll leave that to you (or anyone else) to address next steps. Thanks for your help/feedback here. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 14:33, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
