2019 British prorogation controversy

  • Reviewed: Jeannette Guyot
  • Comment: Another Brexit new article. The main hook might be dated come Tuesday, but even if prorogation is found lawful, it's interesting enough for a hook.

Created by Sceptre (talk). Self-nominated at 22:56, 12 September 2019 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg Date and length fine. I am striking ALT0 as the case is still ongoing and may be overruled. Also ALT1 is stricken for NPOV violations. I am more inclined to favour ALT3. QPQ done, no close paraphrasing. However Template:Ping I would hold this until the Supreme Court make their decision, hence why I am not approving it at this time. When the Court has made their decision, I will pass it. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 06:19, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

  • Template:Ping In the words of David Allen Green: Well. I've done an "ALT0a", which is just ALT0 but with UKSC substituting CSIH. This is the preferred one, given that it would be an elusive double-hook, but I'm okay with doing another nomination if you think that might be better (as an aside: do I need to do a second QPQ?).

  • I actually am wondering how this going into WP:ITN will affect this DYK. You probably should do a second QPQ, though. Raymie (tc) 05:33, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
Both articles were eligible for DYK before they hit ITN (i.e. the first was eligible on the day of nomination, and the second about twelve hours before it was added to ITN); I can't really be blamed for them hitting ITN when they did, I'm not an admin! I'll find another QPQ to do for the sake of safety... Sceptre (talk) 10:01, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Pinging Template:Ping for guidance here: The article appeared in a bold link on ITN on September 24. Yoninah (talk) 21:41, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Symbol delete vote.svg I'm very sorry, Sceptre, but the articles—both of those in ALT0a—are currently on the main page (ITN) with bold links and have been since yesterday, apparently—they're getting a good run. Once that main page appearance happens, a DYK for an article, in process and even if far enough along to be approved, loses its eligibility per the rules: Template:Tq The idea here is that once an article has appeared on the main page, it is no longer eligible to appear in the DYK section. (This has happened in the past, and in-process nominations have been closed.) If this nomination had been further along, promoted to prep or queue, it would have had to be removed. (I don't know what would happen if an article was already posted on the main page in DYK when it was suddenly added to ITN. Should that ever happen, we'll probably have to deal with it.)
