added supporting references to the site as it's mentioned alongside other major election forecasters (Crystal Ball, Cook, FiveThirtyEight) Louder gums (talk) 21:06, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Please see WP:OTHERSTUFF and note Crystal Ball is tagged with needing reliable sources so not the best comparison. FiveThirtyEight has cites to NYT, Poynter, Time, etc. Cook Partisan Voting Index has a couple cites to CNN but may not be notable according to today's standards (created in 2004). Wikipedia's notability guidelines have become more stringent over time so articles created over a decade ago or more ago may not meet today's standards. S0091 (talk) 21:20, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Twitter is not a reliable source so remove that but Politico is good. One more to mainstream media that has coverage about Split Ticket (again, not what they say but what others say about them) and it may pass. S0091 (talk) 21:26, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

that's really helpful, thanks! what about transcription of the FiveThirtyEight podcast (this is what the tweet mentions), does that pass muster? I'll have to check how to cite a podcast, but timestamp 23:46 https://app.podscribe.ai/episode/83865985 Louder gums (talk) 21:57, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

If I recall correctly, the tweet from was from an unconfirmed account and either way, something that trivial is not helpful for notability. What is needed is in-depth coverage about Split Ticket. If the podcast is about them (not an interview with a person related to Split Ticket as that is not independent coverage), that could be helpful. FiveThirtyEight is considered a reliable source. S0091 (talk) 22:04, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

got it! removed tweet citation and added the timestamped citation for both discussions of split ticket on both Pod Save America and FiveThirtyEight Louder gums (talk) 22:13, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

You have resubmitted so another reviewer will take a look. I can't say how long it will take because we are all volunteers but most are reviewed within a couple months. S0091 (talk) 22:22, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

thanks so much! Louder gums (talk) 22:23, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

@S0091: This article in the New Republic should address any need for "in-depth coverage about Split Ticket, not what they have said or published". Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 17:45, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

@Greenman: Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 17:49, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

@Kew Gardens 613 thanks for taking time to dig into this subject. I personally appreciate editors that consider/improve abandoned drafts. The source, though, is an interview with the partners thus not independent so cannot be used to establish notability. With that said, if you believe they are notable, you can move it mainspace yourself or resubmit it for another review. If I recall correctly, I thought it was borderline-ish when I reviewed it.

have added a profile in the New Republic that I think hits the mark for notability ! Louder gums (talk) 20:50, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

@Louder gums do you have any very recent strong sources that have cited Split Ticket (like in the last week)? Given the recent election, national sources cited them would be quite helpful. S0091 (talk) 21:06, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

the New Republic was less than a week ago. if it's helpful, i can add this citation from axios? https://www.axios.com/2022/11/04/democrats-optimism-midterms Louder gums (talk) 21:07, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

"Several have started citing the upstart"? It would be great to cite the "several" directly. Not sure if they mean pollsters are citing them or media outlets. Either way, finding those I think is key. S0091 (talk) 21:17, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

thanks for the help! this may be kind of a silly question, but i think the main citation refers to a reference on Joy Reid on MSNBC. i have the screenshot, but is there a way to reference this? Louder gums (talk) 21:20, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

No, need it from MSNBC directly and need more that just that one. If it was published but not longer available, might want to check Internet Archive. S0091 (talk) 21:24, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

does this work, re: msnbc? https://twitter.com/cbouzy/status/1587238214313689088

and then re: additional aggregator references https://www.newsweek.com/media-needs-take-long-hard-look-itself-opinion-1758781 Louder gums (talk) 21:35, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

For the Newsweek piece, need to say "according to political consultant Eric Schmeltzer blah blah", given it is an opinion. Twitter is a poor source in general, even given it is not really the source, but I listen to the clip and there was nothing about Split Ticket. S0091 (talk) 21:50, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

And in general the draft need to summarize what the sources say about Split Ticket. Right now it is WP:CITEBOMB. You can say Split Ticket was cited by such-and-such outlet but do not use interviews with those affiliated with Split Ticket. Those are useless (outside of very basic facts).
