• :Added citations and removed only one unsourced claim. Sources are good to go.– Abebenjoe (talk) 02:51, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
• Support blurb - Canada's first and best known astronaut. Gosh, Captain Dr Garneau has large schools named after him. And then the political career after all that, including Transport minister during the Covid emergency, with all that entailed. The astronaut aspect is alone enough to blurb. Nfitz (talk) 03:09, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose blurb For all purposes, Garneau feels like a comparable to John Glenn (whom we only did RD for), because while he is has a whole host of accomplishments between space travel and politics, none of these make him an major or influential figure with some type of legacy beyond the host of accomplishments. RD would be fine but sourcing needs to be fixed up first. Masem (t) 03:10, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

• Support - not to sound hypocritical with my Mongolia vote below, but the Dutch government has a track record of taking months upon months to form a new government and select a new PM. The Kip ^(contribs) 15:59, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

::Not forming a new regime. An election is due.Sportsnut24 (talk) 22:02, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

• Support per Kip - As a German, I can confirm how notoriously long coalition formation processes can be in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The current government needed over 8 months of formation, and even Mark Rutte needed one and a half months at best to form a cabinet. I'd support waiting it out if a new election is called, which is rather likely, and then post it. TheRoyalOne06 (talk) 16:38, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

• Support I see nothing wrong with the article quality and PM resigning is a notable event, especially as there were associated protests. Is this not ITN/R though? Abcmaxx (talk) 09:23, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

• Wait per Masem & Kip. I expect a swift transition of power, so it shouldn't take long until a successor is known. TheRoyalOne06 (talk) 16:32, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
• Support The protests and resignation are in the news now, and are a separate, independently newsworthy event from the hypothetical future ascendancy of the new prime minister. As a separate point, if Donald Trump or Keir Starmer announced they were going to step down in 30 days, I have absolutely no doubt that that would get its own blurb - and in fact, my recollection is that when western leaders like Trudeau resigned, that was indeed blurbed separately. Flip^andFlopped ㋡ 20:37, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
• :When Justin Trudeau resigned as the Prime Minister of Canada, his replacement, Mark Carney, became Prime Minister within hours. And that was ITN. Months earlier however, Justin Trudeau announced his intention to resign as both the Prime Minister of Canada, and the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. And I believe we did post it - despite nothing legally stopping Justin Trudeau from retracting his promise to resign (Which Pierre Trudeau did when he announced that he would resign from the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada). A question however - as this is not clear in the source. Has Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene actually resigned? Or is he just promising to resign. Is the promise retractable? Could another party (a president) reject the resignation, etc. Our sources and article are not clear on this. Nfitz (talk) 02:36, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
• Support - it makes no sense to oppose/wait this based on there being a "swift transition of power" and support the above nomination for its collapse. If/when there is a new PM elected, this blurb can easily be pulled and replaced, or just updated, to reflect the ITN/R that the new PM would be. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 22:36, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

It was delisted on the assumption that it's not being updated, yet it actually is, just that the contributor has followed instructions on the talk page to avoid making it too long. This conflict is every bit as major and ongoing as others, just that because of WP:SYSTEMICBIAS, you don't hear about it as much in the western mainstream media.  — Amakuru (talk) 16:42, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
• :: I'm sorry, but it does matter. You are just saying WP:SYSTEMICBIAS to claim that this is "as major" as the war in Ukraine, and not presenting actual evidence. If you read either the main article or the new "timeline", it is one editor adding excessive amounts of mind-numbing detail, without any sense for the importance or relevance of that material to the conflict. To take a random example: {{Tq|Between 8–9 March, Goma experienced a surge in violence that left three dead. The first incident occurred in Katindo, where M23 rebels attacked a group playing cards, fatally shooting a young man as he attempted to flee.[413] In Majengo, Jackson Kilimandjaro Mutondwe, son of former deputy Valérien Nzanzu Kenda Kenda, was killed at home by unknown assailants. The third victim was found lifeless on Mutakato Avenue in Mabanga Sud.[413] According to Actualite.cd, at least 53 violent deaths were recorded in Goma and Nyiragongo throughout February 2025.}} One could also construct a similarly-detailed article on violence in Los Angeles County; we don't because it's not good encyclopedia content. If this is truly "in the news", it would be possible to write at a higher level of abstraction than this, or someone else would be motivated to update the article. 217.180.228.155 (talk) 02:23, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

• Support Does not matter whether it is ITN/R or not, but this presidential election result may have a significant impact either in Poland, European Union, or internationally (IMO it is more qualified as ITNR than regular ITN). In meantime, we can expect a more significant deadlock between the President from PiS and Donald Tusk's government from the opposiite party (Civic Platform) than we seen currently, especially regarding controversial laws related to the EU. Remember, the President can veto any legislation that didn't appease him/his party.

• Support it can be confusing just how political each president in Europe is, but I believe this is a major event, if we see sources. They are mentioning how the president is of a different party to the prime minister and government, and can veto the more liberal and pro-EU policies of the latter. BBC: "As Poland's new president, Nawrocki is likely to continue to use his presidential power of veto to block Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk's pro-EU programme". [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx27897vedno] Al Jazeera: "Nawrocki has been deeply critical of the Tusk administration. The president has the ability to veto legislation and influence military and foreign policy decisions."

• Support Important and major event for multiple reasons: his victory, supported by Trump, has been described as another signal of growing support for right-wing governments in the E.U.; his presidency, due to Poland's significant military role on NATO's Eastern Flank and his role as commander in chief of the Polish Armed Forces, will have a direct impact on the fraught geopolitical situation in the region, possibly as a continuation of Duda's policies, though his stance on Ukraine is markedly different and he is openly opposed to Ukraine joining NATO; in terms of Polish politics, Nawrocki's narrow but decisive victory is already perceived as a looming threat for the current governing coalition going into 2027.

• While we don't know if it is exactly 34%, there is plenty of video online showing a lot of Russian bombers burning. So it is a significant number. Thue (talk) 18:16, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
• Wait or oppose; this seems to have more prominence than the daily war reports, but the boldest Ukrainian claims are not verified yet by any other source.

• Support in principle - this will reverberate beyond the Russia-Ukraine war as countries from US to China will scramble to better protect their bomber fleets. Also: the Russian nuclear triad was impacted. Saying this is just standard, ongoing warfare is downplaying the significance of this.

• Oppose Its impact on the war is yet to be quantified or demonstrated, and the only reason this is getting higher-than-usual coverage from RSes is the Trump admin's complaints they weren't notified about the attack, which falls into the NTRUMP category (eg its a minor pollical outrage here).

However, given that the last time such a succession occurred was 22 years ago and is not common (but ordinary), it might be ITN-interesting. _-_Alsor (talk) 17:07, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

Support change of head of state has precedent This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang (talk) 18:33, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

• Support - As with other collective heads of state, such as in Switzerland and San Marino, I understand some editors' caution in posting these stories. But changes of head of state are by and large extremely significant, and are arguably one of the most significant peaceful events in small nations like Andorra. And there are very few ecclesiastical ehads of state left, so this story is unusual in that respect. It's already noted above how rarely the episcopal co-prince changes; and when the secular co-prince changes, we usually just bill that as the presidency of the French Republic.

| nom cmt = Obviously a triple crown is a de facto big deal in any sport, but this one has come as quite the development in the ongoing battle for dominance in darts between 30 year old Luke Humphries (world number one) and 18 year old Luke Littler (current world champion). With the latter having been favourite to win the Premier League this year after setting numerous tournament records including his 45 point winning total, Humphries trailed in a distant second (34 points), but still far ahead of the rest of the field (26 amd below). All other players at this elite world level, including multiple former world champions and one of the other three Triple Crown winners, are currently, and perhaps for a very long time yet, frankly just spectators to this Lukeopoly.

• Comment The 'Triple Crown' isn't a thing in Darts. I don't know if the PDC are trying to market it as such, but there are several other tournaments which are considered to be more prestigious that the PL, which is a glorified exbo with only a few invited participants. Effy Midwinter (talk) 00:49, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
• :Our article of Professional Darts Corporation Triple Crown would say otherwise. No idea if this is notable/significant for ITN, however. Natg 19 (talk) 00:58, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose good faith nom, but not ITNR and not notable. More suitable for DYK. _-_Alsor (talk) 10:58, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
• :Sports things that aren't listed at ITNR doesn't mean that an ITNC can still be discussed, but the importance has to stand on its own. The fact we have an article on the triple crown for darts suggests the achievement is notable. Masem (t) 15:13, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
• ::If a sporting event isn't ITNR, it's probably not ITN-worthy. And having an article doesn't mean it deserves it either. At no point have I said that it cannot be discussed. Humphries is the "fourth" player to win the Triple Crown, not even the first; darts is a very minority sport, and this achievement has barely received any coverage from the international sports press. Perhaps that's appropriate for DYK, but nothing more. _-_Alsor (talk) 17:16, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
• ::Article notable doesn't necessarily mean blurb-worthy. Triple Crown (American basketball) exists, but I wouldn't support a blurb for its next occurrence. —Bagumba (talk) 13:37, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

• Support, fixed. It took a bit of searching to find when exactly his birth date was but it is determined to be August 30, 1947 and not 1948. Also found references on his age (77) and can be confirmed from sources before his death celebrating his 77th birthday ([https://limpopomirror.co.za/articles/news/61130/2024-09-14/vbs-thieves-live-in-mansions-while-we-suffer-says-former-chairperson Limpopo Mirror, a local source]).

Nominators often include links to external websites and other references in discussions on this page. It is usually best to provide such links using the inline URL syntax [http://example.com] rather than using tags, because that keeps all the relevant information in the same place as the nomination without having to jump to this section, and facilitates the archiving process.

For the times when tags are being used, here are their contents:
