Proposed Deletion of this Article
edit- This is journalism, not a serious Wikipedia article. It also contains copious quantities of original research, speculation and is highly opinionated. This isn't what we do. Hanoi Road (talk) 23:40, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- I have to agree. It is also wp:crystal. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 09:56, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- Take this forward, please. Hanoi Road (talk) 23:08, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
@Hanoi Road:, you raised it so you get to run with it. (I have never done one before either). The How-To is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Let me know when you do and I will add my support. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:30, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
Because you believe Brexit would have no impact on the European Union? Might be some parts need to be corrected now that Brexit occured but do you want to remove the full article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.193.104.160 (talk) 21:11, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
- Yes it certainly will have an effect (though not as serious an effect as it will have on the UK) but, as of July 2020, it is all still speculation because nothing has changed while the transition period is in operation. The impact won't even begin to be visible before January 2021 and there won't be a credible neutral third-party source that an article may cite in support of summarising text before well into that year or even later.
- To be fair, policy wp:CRYSTAL does say that it is valid to have articles about upcoming events that may be expected with confidence and the article is extensively cited. So I guess it is legitimate to report predictions by credible commentators. It still seems a bit 'off' to me though. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 21:54, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
- It had had effects, and it is not all speculations: size of the union, number of MEPs and citizenship are not speculation. It yet occurred. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.67.202.54 (talk) 18:48, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, that is certainly true. I was thinking more about the effect on ordinary lives than the effect on institutions. Both perspectives are important. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:03, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Communication on readiness at the end of the transition period between the European Union and the United Kingdom
editIt is essential that all stakeholders be made aware of this, and that they ensure their readiness for these broad and far-reaching changes, which will arise under any scenario, regardless of the outcome of negotiations between the European Union and the United Kingdom.[1]
I wonder if the readiness topic should not be addressed in the article?
- Yes, it should. When a reliable source reports on it. Right now, the only reports are that nobody is ready because they have no idea what it is they are supposed to be ready for. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 00:06, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
