Request for comment: Al Gore

CLOSED

Saving the community some time. There's no support for this other than a blocked IP. The information is well sourced and WP:DUE. Even though I'm involved, this is a WP:SNOW close. If someone disagrees please feel free to reopen. Thanks Nemov (talk) 18:24, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

I am proposing that the paragraph pertaining to Gore's prior opposition to gay marriage be deleted. My rationale as to why I request the paragraph is deleted is explained above at the top of the #Semi protected edit request (3 February 2024 section of this talk page. 92.40.212.153 (talk) 21:18, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i found the information to be interesting and informative, not burdened by undue weight, and factually correct.

have a wikipedia day, Augmented Seventh (talk) 22:06, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not helpful to the statement at all. You can't just say all of those things without explaining WHY you find it interesting and informative. 92.40.212.157 (talk) 09:10, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose removing the content in question. It is not undue. It is reliably sourced. It is verifiable. It is neutrally worded. As a reader, I would expect to see content like this, LGBT, abortion, guns, etc., this is standard biographical information for a politicians article to have. Isaidnoway (talk) 21:28, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - (Brought here by WP:RFC/A) Being a notable politician his prior political positions held are worth keeping on the record. I do think that it does pass The 10 Year test.

MaximusEditor (talk) 22:44, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Being a notable politician his prior political positions held are worth keeping on the record per MaximusEditor, the content is WP:DUE and neither especially contentious nor harmful to his reputation - he has probably made the same 'moral' journey as millions of Americans and others. No reason for removal is offered. Pincrete (talk) 18:33, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: a politician's position on a major social topic in a time period when he was an elected politician is due weight. The content is also verifiable and neutrally presented. If anything it's his view today or in 2008 that is irrelevant from a historical perspective. — Bilorv (talk) 23:25, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment That Gore is still alive is also "irrelevant from a historical perspective". He is not doing or saying anything particularly notable. Dimadick (talk) 23:38, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose For all the reasons listed above and I'd support a quick close per WP:SNOW. Nemov (talk) 14:13, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Just wanted to reduce the snowball's chances even more. But really, it's relevant information for a politician, and the only way to make it more neutral would be to have Ben Stein read it. Kerdooskistalk 23:14, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Someone make a page for his son Albert iii and his other daughter

someone needs to add his third daughter and al gore III to this his two daughter are on his why arent they 2603:6011:5601:B8F5:65D2:EF74:F396:E2A6 (talk) 18:42, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Are they notable? – Muboshgu (talk) 18:43, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MISUSE OF THE WORD "APPROXIMATELY"

The text says that Gore won the popular election by "APPROXIMATELY 543,895 votes". Now, approximately means CLOSE TO a particular number or time although not exactly that number or time. 543,895 is a round and precise number. Either write "EXACTLY 543,895" or just quote the number, without an adverb preceding it. 2804:D84:2280:2400:6F91:F3D:19FB:6CA0 (talk) 00:34, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. I have fixed the article. HiLo48 (talk) 01:39, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why does this page not say he is divorced?

Al and Tipper are divorced and she has remarried 2601:204:200:4F30:C85E:8A30:73DA:8590 (talk) 17:30, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a reliable source for this? From a cursory Google, I can find plenty of news articles about their separation in 2010, but can't find anything reliable for either the divorce or her remarriage. (Her article does not mention it.) --B (talk) 12:44, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

+The text says that Gore won the popular election by "APPROXIMATELY 543,895 votes". Now, approximately means CLOSE TO a particular number or time although not exactly that number or time. 543,895 is a round and precise number. Either write "EXACTLY 543,895" or just quote the number, without an adverb preceding it.
