Good article reassessment for British Library

British Library has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Z1720 (talk) 22:47, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Political Party special interest groups - lists of exec team members

I've recently AfDed a number of articles about youth wings of British political parties, the result being merging the articles into the national party's article, as there aren't enough third party sources on the activities or impact of these groups. Of the ones that remain, I've noticed a common feature is a long list of the names of all the executive officers - for example: Young_Liberals_(UK)#Executive. If these have any source at all, it's the organisation's own websites, blogs or social media. I suspect this is WP:PROMO by members - young, ambitious, prospective politicians trying to generate a bit of SEO and they add nothing to the encyclopedia so I'm going to delete them wherever I come across them. However, I've already had one deletion reverted so I'm looking to see if there's any consensus on whether or not this is the right approach. Orange sticker (talk) 11:30, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

More eyes please on Catherine Fookes

re the recent vote over an amendment to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, and whether this should be termed "voted against an inquiry into grooming gangs" with no further detail or explanation. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:30, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Politics of the United Kingdom

At some point in the history of the Template:Politics of the United Kingdom, the entry for "Government" with a link to Government of the United Kingdom (which ostensibly remains part of the series) has been replaced by "Executive" with a link to Executive (government). Not sure if this is just vandalism, but plainly Executive is not an adequate description of HM Government and the article linked to is pretty inadequate, not sure why the change has been made.

@Ziggy1010: For "at some point", read "nine and a half years ago" (long before you joined Wikipedia); it was changed by Gold Wiz113 (talk · contribs) with this edit. There does not appear to have been any related discussion at the time. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:09, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New article idea

Seeing that a second Labour MP is now suspended as a result of a WhatsApp group chat being leaked (source), could I have some opinions as to whether all this is now notable enough to have a stand-alone article? SuperGuy212 (talk) 17:13, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The King's visit to Nansledan

I've converted this Flickr album into this Commons category, but I seem to be missing four of the photographs and I can't work out which ones. Robin S. Taylor (talk) 20:45, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
