- Comment "The headline story" seems like it's promoting Klobuchar. I think any DYK nomination from the page would be too promotional of her campaign.—Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 00:57, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
Indeed; WP:DYKHOOK states that "Articles and hooks featuring election candidates up to 30 days before an election in which they are standing should be avoided, unless the hook is a "multi" that includes bolded links to new articles on all the main candidates." Given that a primary is a form of election, this is ineligible. Harrias talk 12:48, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks! Is there any way to speedily delete this template then? Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 12:54, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Nice4What: No, please don't do that. This will be archived instead as a failed nomination. However, by nominating this for speedy deletion (which isn't applicable anyway given that this has already been commented on), what you have done is marked the entire Template talk:Did you know page for speedy deletion because the speedy deletion template is also transcluded onto this page. I have reverted that. epicgenius (talk) 15:47, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- Technically there is precidence for this in the case of Template:Did you know nominations/Peterborough recall petition, 2019 where it was created in Feburary but could not run until May (and it was held for that long) due to legal appeals and the election process. But having had a look at the AFD discussion, it looks pretty likely this will not remain a separate article so I won't be overriding the cross on this occasion. The C of E God Save the Queen!
