Talk:United Kingdom parliamentary second jobs controversy

Article title

As the title for United Kingdom parliamentary expenses scandal received some discussion, I have used the same formula here. Edwardx (talk) 22:19, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

What is this article about?

As the speedy deletion tag I added has been removed, I guess we need to disuses what this very short article lacking sufficient context to identify its subject is about. I don't see any sources supporting the notion that any the jobs listed are the subject of a scandal, or that there is a general parliamentary second jobs scandal. So what are we trying to write about? -- DeFacto (talk). 08:48, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

We can debate whether it is a scandal, controversy, or something else, but it is obviously a subject that has attracted considerable coverage from across the political spectrum and deserves an article detailing what has occurred. [1] [2] [3] [4] etc. SmartSE (talk) 19:30, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

News or comment

@DeFacto: This is very clearly not a comment article. The Guardian make this obvious through the URLs - comment pieces are all found under /commentisfree/ whereas this is /politics/. SmartSE (talk) 19:25, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Fair enough, my mistake, and I corrected it. -- DeFacto (talk). 19:30, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
