Piggo2020Y2hyaXM, why revert the Jain endorsements? While we may disagree about the organizational side, the individuals are absolutely notable. One is a former candidate and the other is a local elected official. If we are removing these, we must also remove those of other candidates. All I ask for is consistency across candidates. Should you choose to revert this edit, then you should revert Jain's as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Piggo2020 (talk • contribs) 13:40, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the removal of Brad Young, but everyone else you've removed is considered notable. The organizations you've added for Jain are all not notable, and the citation you added for Mia Mason is not independent or reliable, which is required for endorsements listed per WP:ENDORSE. The local official you’ve added is also not notable; if we included every local official that endorses a candidate, Peter Franchot’s endorsements list on 2022 Maryland gubernatorial election would take up half the page.Y2hyaXM (talk) 14:24, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree it’s not an independent source, it is coming directly from the Mason herself, which I generally think is considered reliable.

That said, I think if refused all direct sources we’d have to eliminate a number of other endorsements, including Vote Mama, BOLD PAC, Harvard Dems (which I’d also argue is not notable), equality PAC, HRC, NEA, and Vote Common Good. Piggo2020 (talk) 20:33, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:ENDORSE, endorsements from organizations can be sourced to that organization's website/social media posts. I wouldn't consider any of the organizations you've listed to be unnoteworthy. Y2hyaXM (talk) 21:16, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
