• Oppose Routine and not notable. I think WP:NTRUMP probably applies here too, as I imagine that's what most coverage will focus on. –DMartin 08:35, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

:*I respect your view, but this is (a) not about Trump (and the coverage is mostly not about him), and (b) not routine. The last time the Monarch gave a speech from the Throne in Canada was 50 years ago, and the last time a King or Queen visited was 2010. Its not a frequent occurrence. TimeEngineer (talk) 09:00, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

::*I see what you mean about Trump, that's my fault as I mostly consume american news. I nevertheless think that the first clause is a reason enough to oppose. It seems more likely to fall under "huh, that's interesing" rather than "this will have long-term conseuqences". It might make a good DYK though. –DMartin 09:07, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

::*:Twice a century for the King of Canada to do this? I'd hardly call that routine. Heck, it's the first time a King has done it - the other two were by the Queen. Nfitz (talk) 22:31, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose notable? Like any visit by a Head of State to another country, especially if it is by a monarch. Routine? Also, it is one of the functions that HoS should perform. It's not ITN-worthy just because of the latter and if it has anything to do with Trump it's totally irrelevant and just another part of the political drama of his administration's bid to annex Canada. _-_Alsor (talk) 09:26, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Comment The visit is certainly in the news but it's still ongoing and the King opens the Canadian parliament today, which is the main event. Updates to the article are needed as the plans turn into history. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose per above. The Kip ^(contribs) 15:14, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Strong Support, but as blurb because it is basically already over. With respect, many of the oppose rationales are not policy-based, and likely come from editors who are simply associating the visit with Trump as opposed to fully appreciating the once in a lifetime nature of the event. In my view, it surpasses the notability threshold for two reasons: (a) even in spite of the Trump aspect, it is a historic, once in a lifetime type of thing (the last time this happened was in 1977, so claims above that it is 'routine' are objectively incorrect) and (b) it is getting objectively widespread, in depth coverage amongst global reliable sources: from publications in the [https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/cn4gj32g32yo UK], [https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/king-charles-and-queen-camilla-arrive-in-canada-20250527-p5m2fo.html Australia], the [https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/world/canada/king-charles-canada-parliament-speech.html USA], [https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/3312033/king-charles-hails-strong-and-free-canada-trump-threat-looms China], [https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2025/05/27/le-roi-charles-iii-defend-l-autodetermination-du-canada-face-aux-menaces-de-donald-trump%206608863%203210.html France], [https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/leute/koenig-charles-setzt-mit-kanadabesuch-zeichen-gegen-trump-a-7b6c5f24-29ca-4fd2-879a-c60517635a0c Germany], I could go on. Very little of this coverage is 100% focused on Trump, and he is not even involved in the event, so WP:NTRUMP does not apply. Flip^andFlopped ㋡ 18:28, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose WP:NTRUMP also applies to {{tq|any public figure or institution that is influential enough to the point that the press reports their every single movement}}. Completely non-notable visit. — ^EF⁵ 18:31, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Above, I hyperlinked publications like the New York Times, the South China Morning Post, Le Monde, and Spiegel, who each have indepth reporting on this visit. Do you have evidence to back your claim that they "report on the every single movement" of King Charles III? The opposite seems true to me - many of those outlets rarely report on King Charles's goings-on, but this is so notable that they have made an exception. Flip^andFlopped ㋡ 18:49, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Flipandflopped, I'll formulate a response shortly, but I highly suggest you strike the {{tq|and likely come from Americans who are simply associating the visit with Trump as opposed to fully appreciating the once in a lifetime nature of the event}} part of your statement. It's completely inappropriate to discount votes because they are of a certain demographic and speculating on the nationality of editors can constitute WP:OUTING. — ^EF⁵ 19:09, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Let's turn down the temperature a bit. In no conceivable way did I violate WP:OUTING, and I never said anyone's votes should be discounted. I respectfully stated an opinion that the WP:NTRUMP rationales were coming from an overly American perspective, which was not intended to be derogatory at all. Flip^andFlopped ㋡ 19:27, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• You did not say that {{tq|WP:NTRUMP rationales were coming from an overly American perspective}}, you said the editors themselves are {{tq|Americans who are simply associating the visit with Trump}}, which is assuming every oppose voter is American and is, as I stated, inappropriate. Thank you for changing it, though. — ^EF⁵ 19:38, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Weak support, given that King Charles is quite ill, and any major foreign visit by him is quite unusual. Nsk92 (talk) 19:32, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Is it unusual? He's made eleven in the past two years, and has more planned. –DMartin 21:38, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• :A visit of the King of Canada to Canada isn't a foreign visit. For the same reason that Canada doesn't have an embassy in the UK. Nfitz (talk) 22:34, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• :: has a High Commission in London though which serves the same function. Abcmaxx (talk) 08:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
• Strong oppose as unimportant national-level address. If NTRUMP doesn't apply, then this was not notable to begin with. The relevant essay would be NCHARLES, correct? Departure– (talk) 19:40, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• :I'm going to add that I don't see how this is notable in of itself. The real story here is the opening of the Canadian parliament, but that's not ITNR and a done deal given the election.
• :To clarify my other reason, I take it that this is getting a lot of coverage due to the context that this is taking place during Trump's second coming, but a lot of the folks I see giving rationales on coverage also reject NTRUMP having any bearing. It's established that it's only an essay, but the underlying truth is still there, and that is that material can be substantially overreported on occasion, and given how this has to do with both the King of England and Donald Trump, this easily is covered by it. Simply put, if Trump was not involved, at least for context, then there would be substantially less coverage and this would likely not have been nominated, let alone posted.
• :I can't see how this is any more notable than any other "rare" event. Just because something hasn't happened in a while doesn't automatically make it notable. I'm really not seeing how this is notable; Charles made a speech, and that was that. Departure– (talk) 23:10, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

:::There is no such person as the King of England, and there hasn't been since William III died. There is, however, such a person as the King of Canada, and this story is about him. GenevieveDEon (talk) 12:51, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

• Support The visit has been completed, widely reported and the article updated. Essays are irrelevant per WP:ESSAY, "{{tq|Essays have no official status and do not speak for the Wikipedia community...}}" Andrew🐉(talk) 22:53, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• :Is this a !vote on quality or notability? Departure– (talk) 23:04, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• ::ITN deals in quality and significance, not notability. My !vote follows on my earlier comment and addresses both and more besides. Andrew🐉(talk) 06:29, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
• Leaning oppose on importance. BD2412 T 22:59, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose I'm not seeing why this deserves a blurb. Heads of state visit other countries all the time, and we almost never post them, so what makes this one so much more important that it deserves to be posted? QuicoleJR (talk) 23:59, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose Maybe grounds for a future DYK, but ultimately it’s just a head of state visiting part of their realm. Not remotely newsworthy internationally any more so than if the Danish monarch visited Greenland, the Japanese emperor visited the Ryukyus, or the French President visited Guadeloupe. RPH (talk) 01:12, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
• Strong Support it is a momentous occasion for the country to have the monarch open Parliament as King of Canada - the first King (male sovereign) to do so and only the third time in the country's history; Canada has a long and complicated relationship with the monarchy, and this move is a clear and decisive statement that Canada will be taking a turn away from the "post-national state" towards embracing a nationalist model of "three founding peoples: indigenous, French, and British", as PM Carney indicated in his inaugural speech. Most people are surprised to learn that Canada is a kingdom, this was not the visit of a foreign head of state as some are saying. This is a deciding point in the country's national narrative and evolution, as the previous two throne speeches by Elizabeth were. There is a throne speech at every new Parliament - meaning there have been 45 throne speeches in the country's history, 42 of which were delivered by Governors General. This is not just another royal visit but rather notable because the King is filling a constitutional role rather than merely meeting and greeting. The country is at an inflection point with new separatist movements rising in the West, meanwhile there is a kind of realignment apparently happening in Quebec after decades of separatism there. It is a chance to shine a light on this pivotal moment in the country's history, and there will likely be a "before" and an "after" for this historic constitutional, identitarian, and political moment-Larineso (talk) 05:02, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose lack of a demonstrated long term impact. (t · c) buidhe 05:24, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose un-elected head of state with no de facto power flies over on a tax-funded private jet for a formality and is present only due to a historical anachronism. Abcmaxx (talk) 08:57, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose per above. IDB.S (talk) 12:12, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose simply a standard steps part of Canada's political system. Nothing unusual here. Masem (t) 12:27, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
• Neutral, leaning oppose - There's a lot of misleading commentary about this. It's significant, and I don't want to dismiss it out of hand, but we don't generally report on, say, the State of the Union address. GenevieveDEon (talk) 12:52, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

• :Oppose, do we post other monarchs on diplomatic missions? Don't think so. Angry Islander (talk) 13:04, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

• Comment If it were to be nominated, would we combine this with a blurb on the vehicle ramming? Kingsif (talk) 01:13, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• :Is there an article about the vehicle ramming? --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 01:17, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• ::Yes. Left guide (talk) 01:51, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• :::I've added an altblurb which mentions the ramming. --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 05:50, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Conditionally support only if this original blurb also combined with recent incidents regarding Liverpool vehicle. Otherwise, it's a very good article. 182.1.232.170 (talk) 01:50, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Comment: I don't think we should attempt to shoehorn the collision article into the football blurb just because it happens to be related and has its own article; that could put undue emphasis on it. If the incident alone is significant enough to make it onto ITN on its own merits, then I think a combined blurb would be reasonable. FWIW, it seems that the vast majority of incidents at {{t|Road incidents in 2025}} and {{t|Road incidents in 2024}} haven't qualified for their own blurbs. Left guide (talk) 06:07, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Wait The nominated article has an orange cleanup tag and so needs work. And the parade incident needs time to establish the facts and correct language. Calling it a "vehicle collision" seems misleading and my impression is that it was more of a road rage incident. Andrew🐉(talk) 06:42, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
• Comment Liverpool won the title a month ago. As many times before, failing to post this when they clinched the title makes this outdated, and we shouldn't give it a second chance if the article wasn't of sufficient quality when the winner was determined. Furthermore, WP:ITNSPORTS states {{tq|In terms of timing, events are generally posted as soon as a winner is determined.}}, so the conclusion of the season isn't really an ITNR item. The incident during the trophy parade is a separate event. --Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 06:51, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

:* It's not clear why it wasn't posted as a result of the previous discussion but it was tagged for proseline back then and the tag is still there a month later. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

• Comment. WP:ITNR states "events are generally posted as soon as a winner is determined"(emphasis mine), which isn't a hard and fast rule that we can't wait until the end of season to post the winner. –DMartin 08:56, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

• Support original blurb The orange tag has been addressed by {{u|Black Kite}}. I see no issue with posting about it now, as Liverpool's victory continues to be in the news. However, I disagree with both of the alt blurbs - alt1 sounds a little too promotional, and alt2 groups in an event that I don't think meets the ITN notability criteria (nobody died, seems like a fluke incident as opposed to political/terrorism, etc).

• :Premier League not the English Premier League. -- KTC (talk) 07:30, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose alt2 as written - I have no opinion on inclusion of the incident, but it needs to be in the correct context, i.e. that it occured around / to the crowd at the trophy parade, rather than merely it happened after Liverpool won. -- KTC (talk) 07:32, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
• Support the original blurb - the season has just ended, so the story is still ripe (if becoming a little over-ripe). Oppose alt-2, as the ramming incident, while tragic and significant, was not so severe that we would post it independently, and it lacks a clear semantic connection to the football title. GenevieveDEon (talk) 13:44, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose per Buidhe. This is a terrible crime for sure, but there's no predicted long-term impact right now and no evidence it is part of a wider terrorist plot.  — Amakuru (talk) 07:48, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

:Oppose for what Amakuru said. We currently have no information regarding this being part of a terrorist plot and we do not know yet what was the exact motivation of this horrible attack. WreeperPHX (talk) 10:08, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose. Unless this spirals out into something that either rises above the typical mass shooting in the US or something extraordinary in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, this isn't ITN-level. It's possible it might turn out that way, but at this point it hasn't. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 10:45, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose. This is tragic for those involved, but unfortunately murders by gunshot are a common occurrence in the US. The impact here is likely to be similar to the Nantes stabbing a few weeks ago (which was rejected from ITN): a short burst of media coverage but no broad or long-term impact. Modest Genius ^talk 11:31, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

• ::::The “context” remark is the problematic part in my view; it almost normalizes the idea that violence against American Jews should be expected due to the (horrifying) actions of a nation-state half the world away. I have no issue with your oppose vote, considering I also voted oppose. The Kip ^(contribs) 13:32, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
• :::::Given that the suspect, Elias Rodriguez, reportedly chanted "Free, free Palestine!", I don't really see how these two things can be unconnected. I'm sorry if this means my comment reads like "a justifcation". Perhaps "context" is the wrong word. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:37, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
• ::::::Listing off the Palestinian death toll of the war as the context reads to me as if you’re at best slightly callously implying this attack was irrelevant/not encyclopedically notable, given the differing scales, or at worst implying it was justified entirely, given the nationality of the victims. That’s what makes me uncomfortable; if you’d simply mentioned the war might’ve motivated it/that it’s part of a greater pattern of violent incidents relating to the war, I’d feel less so. The Kip ^(contribs) 13:47, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
• :::::::I'd like to reiterate that I am not seeking to imply "it was justified entirely". I think it is surprising that there have been just two deaths of Jewish people like this in America when 67,877 Palestinians have reportedly been killed in Gaza. I'm sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable. For the avoidance of any further accusations of WP:FORUM, if you would like me to change the link to simply read "Gaza war", then I will do that. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:55, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
• ::::::::We shouldn't be politicizing in our supports or opposes at ITN or anywhere, that's the NOT FORUM issue. Trying to equate or compare these two deaths to what's happened in gaza has zero advancement of whether this should be posted at ITN, and instead drives this to be covered by arbcom sanctions if it continues that way. Masem (t) 14:01, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
• :::::::::The alleged perpetrator seems to have been trying to make a political point. It doesn't look like this was a completely random killing of people who were coincidentally Jewish, in a coincidentally Jewish location. I'm sorry if that means I am "politicizing my oppose at ITN."

• ::::::::{{tq| I think it is surprising that there have been just two deaths of Jewish people like this in America when 67,877 Palestinians have reportedly been killed in Gaza}}
• ::::::::With all due respect, this reads similarly to the callousness I noted in the “at best” bit. There shouldn’t be a competition, we can have sympathy for both the war’s many Palestinian victims and two Jewish murder victims.
• ::::::::Changing the link would make me feel less uncomfortable, yes. The Kip ^(contribs) 14:02, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
• :::::::::I'm not proposing a "minimum number of Jewish deaths" before any similar such incident can be posted at ITN. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:14, 22 May 2025 (UTC) p.s. perhaps Violent incidents in reaction to the Gaza war should be at ITN/Ongoing. Although the unanimous response to not post this one incident here may suggest not.

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.
