RfC on political alignment in infobox

The following discussion is an archived record of a request for comment. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

( non-admin closure) There is an overwhelming consensus to remove the "conservative" description from the infobox. — BillHPike ( talk, contribs) 04:36, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Should political = Conservative be removed from the infobox of New York Post? Peter Gulutzan ( talk) 16:30, 8 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Yes. The exact phrase is actually "political = Conservative" and the ref that follows it, named "washingtonpost.com", can go after the word "conservative" in the lead sentence. A sufficient reason for removal is Template:Infobox newspaper which says ("For use only when a newspaper has formally aligned its news coverage with a political party or movement. Do not use the infobox for allegations of bias or descriptions of the opinion page."). The phrase was added in February 2023, it has been removed and re-inserted a few times since, per WP:VNOT consensus should exist for re-insertion. The earlier discussion is in thread "conservative", editors mentioned there are Manfelice NinjaRobotPirate Politicsfan4 RetroCosmos soibangla SPECIFICO TFD Udehbwuh Virtue Rewarded Richardson Zaathras.

Yes It's helpful, but not WP:IAR levels of helpful, especially if it's already in the lead and precedent does not support it. That the Post is conservative is nearing on skyblue, but if that's the way the infobox is designed to be used then so be it. RetroCosmos ^talk 16:44, 8 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Yes per previous comments Garnet Moss ( talk) 23:59, 8 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Yes as in the infoboxes for Washington Post and New York Times which do not have "political =". Thanks. Path2space ( talk) 03:33, 9 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Yes - Seems too complex a thing to summarize in the infobox. "Conservative" is a pretty vague word/concept. IOHANNVSVERVS ( talk) 23:05, 12 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Yes, per u:Peter Gulutzan. Alaexis_¿question? 08:51, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Yes, per Path2space & Peter Gulutzan. Grahaml35 ( talk) 21:19, 17 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Yes per Peter Gulutzan. This can probably be closed. Nemov ( talk) 14:45, 25 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Yes It is highly conservative and the owner stated his reason for purchasing US media was to sway public opinion toward his views. But that's not enough according to infobox guidelines. O3000, Ret. ( talk) 14:54, 25 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Close requested here. I'm aware of the advice in Closing the discussion but the matter under discussion is contentious, as evidenced by the back-and-forth removals and re-insertions and the earlier thread. Peter Gulutzan ( talk) 15:50, 25 January 2024 (UTC) reply
