  •   Article created 1 day ago, new enough, long enough (14,000s bytes), hook short and interesting, QPQ done (on my DYK :), no image used. Main hook preferred due to ALT1 being WP:SYNTH a bit (US presidential elections de jure has more than two candidates) Regards, Jeromi Mikhael (marhata) 07:37, 5 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

  •   Hi, I came by to promote ALT2 but I wonder if it could be made clearer that the Sanders voters voted for him in the primaries and for Trump in the general election? Otherwise it seems logical to change the term Bernie Sanders voters to Bernie Sanders supporters to avoid the "voters...voted" run-on.
  • ALT2a: ... that an estimated 12% of Bernie Sanders voters in the 2016 presidential primaries went for Donald Trump in the general election? Yoninah (talk) 12:34, 11 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
  ALT2b: ... that an estimated 12% of those who voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 presidential primaries voted for Donald Trump in the general election? Kingsif (talk) 07:05, 13 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Ticking 2b for approval. The wording really is better than 2a. — Maile (talk) 22:16, 17 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • @Maile66: Feminist suggested ALT2 and I added some more words as ALT2a. But when Kingsif came to review this new hook suggestion, he suggested ALT2b. I personally agree with ALT2b, as I don't think "went for" is encyclopedic language. I guess I'm looking for an approval tick for ALT2b so I can promote it, as I did not write the original hook suggestion. Yoninah (talk) 22:06, 17 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Why is this notable?

edit

Given the number of Sanders voters who switched to Trump in the general election is unremarkable compared to previous elections, (eg, 15 percent of Clinton primary voters in 2008 voted for McCain in the general), why is this something that would require its own page when the pertinent details could easily be incorporated into the pages for the 2016 and 2020 election pages? 209.122.210.129 (talk) 06:09, 24 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Has to be merged with some other article(s) because it's not important enough
