Splitting proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was not to split DimensionalFusion 🏳️‍⚧️ (talk) 17:05, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that the Schedule section be split into a separate page called Schedule for the 2024 Democratic National Convention. This section is large and well-sourced enough to make its own page, and has been done previously as in Schedule for the 2008 Democratic National Convention. DimensionalFusion (talk) 15:26, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose that. It is a WP:NOTDIR issue. Why don’t we just trim this page? Space can be saved by removing the portraits. Do we need the table listing each states roll call song? The 2008 page should be reexamined as well. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:31, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I cut the song table. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:57, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Seems unlikely to cleanly split like that. We just need to do the work to remove non-notable info like Muboshgu suggested Bluethricecreamman (talk) 17:31, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support because this article/page is not a list, and the schedule is a list. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 18:08, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose because this has never been suggested in conventions past. Why now? Keep the schedule on this page. --Skeeball93 (talk) 12:27, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, since there appears to be little to no precedent with regard to previous convention articles.--TommyBoy (talk) 03:12, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TommyBoy Schedule for the 2008 Democratic National Convention says otherwise DimensionalFusion (talk) 09:56, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - This article should just be trimmed more. RickStrate2029 (talk) 18:53, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Round portraits of Harris and Walz

Why are the photos of the nominated candidate in the infobox always on pages about US political parties national convention edited so strangely in a round format? Wouldn't it look better if they were portraits in normal portrait format? Cenbutz1 (talk) 10:54, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
