Talk:2024 North Carolina gubernatorial election

All-candidate debate

I put an all-candidate debate hosted by the NC Forward Party in the "Other candidates" section and made it invisible (not sure how to call the thing). There was a Democrat, a Republican, both Libertarian and a Green candidate participating. I want to include it in the article, and would like a consensus before doing so. C. W.

Formatting for the lead

@BottleOfChocolateMilk: Your argument for your formatting of the lead falls under WP:OTHERCONTENT. Saying an article should be written one way because other articles are written that way is not a valid argument, as this policy demonstrates, because there are too many different articles written by different editors who have their own writing preferences. You claim there is a "clear consensus", but provide no actual evidence of a consensus, making this argument also invalid. "Every other page doing it like this" is not evidence of a consensus; it only demonstrates how some editors prefer to edit these articles, which again, falls under WP:OTHERCONTENT. You cannot edit articles based on how you think other articles are written. Edit them based on what is the most informative and the best-written. Bluerules (talk) 03:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

I'd also like to add the three other gubernatorial articles you cited to justify your formatting are not comparable to this article because no candidates have been nominated in those elections. Less information is available about the New Hampshire, Missouri, and Washington gubernational elections this year, so the lead has to be written differently. The major candidates in this election have been nominated and since this election is centered on them, they should be mentioned in the opening paragraph. Bluerules (talk) 03:27, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
