Listicle[edit]

Do you have any plans for this article beyond it being a listicle? If not, I don't really see the relevance of this to the RW mission. Lists of crank politicians should already be covered by categories. We have articles on more specific groupings like the Freedom Caucus, and a list of far-right U.S. politicians isn't too different from a list of Republicans right now, of which a listicle was removed from the Republican Party article. Finally, differentiating by state isn't of too much relevance; the only real differences are the state's relative partisan leans (and even that doesn't matter as much on the house/state congressional level) and maybe having to appeal to x or y swing constituency, but otherwise far-right politicians run at least 95% of the same way regardless of which state they're from.

I agree; this proposed article is pointless: (1) Isn't this what categories are for? (2) It would require constant update or else becomes stale and irrelevant (3) Isn't this what categories are for? —cosmikdebris talk stalk 00:58, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
There are also a gazillion MAGA politicians across the country. I've got MAGAs on my fuckin' local school board. Pizza SLICE.gifChef Moosolini’s Ristorante ItalianoMake a Reservation 02:40, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Yes, I’m going to use references for this list. I’m only adding the most notable ones, even Wikipedia has at least 3 lists like this one. Rational Dude enter thy lair 20:22, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
I made this list as a way to record the more infamous maga politicians endorsed by trump himself or have made headlines in the movement, organized by state. It’s like our other lists of various loons and kooks (such as webshites). Rational Dude enter thy lair 22:00, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Removing the AfD[edit]

I'd recommend against removing the AfD template when there's an active AfD for this article. Carthage (talk) 20:31, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Can I make an appeal case for this article? Rational Dude enter thy lair 20:46, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
Isn't that what the AfD is for? So you can present your case? I've already voted to "keep." Carthage (talk) 20:50, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
My bad. Where’s the afd? I’d like to vote there to keep it as well. Rational Dude enter thy lair 21:20, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
