Voting bloc

@Ronherry none of the sources explicitly state that her fans are a voting bloc. The Times of India state the Harris campaign is attempting to turn it into a voting bloc whilst the other two sources pose it as a question but never actually answer it.

@Ronherry you should be using the talk page instead of accusing me of disruption. What you have now introduced is WP:SYNTHESIS. Traumnovelle (talk) 09:19, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's synthesis. ℛonherry☘ 09:22, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If that's synthesis, then I guess a lot of featured articles in the politics topic are syntheses too. Fortunately, stating a direct fact (that a number of sources have compared the role of a fanbase to that of a voting block) is not synthesis. A synthesis in this case would be the former phrasing, which has been significantly altered now. ℛonherry☘ 09:26, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If articles are taking groupings of sources and analysing the sources themselves instead of having secondary sources do that they shouldn't be FA quality. Traumnovelle (talk) 09:30, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A constructive solution to that would be rephrasing the prose, not simply removing it. ℛonherry☘ 09:19, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
