https://www.thepostmillennial.com/pc-civil-war-establishment-actively-trying-to-sabotage-doug-ford-senior-party-official/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.42.101.135 ( talk) 01:39, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
In the second sentence, the statement "and, since 2018, serves as the Minister of Children, Community and Social Services in Doug Ford's cabinet. " is no longer correct, given that the article clearly states her term as Minister of Children, Community and Social Services" ended on June 20, 2019. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.86.141.141 ( talk) 19:35, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
I added a brief note explaining MacLeod's involvement as the minister who cut the Ontario Basic Income Pilot program. It was removed by Peter Gulutzan per WP:NOTNEWS which almost certainly doesn't apply here. This was a significant project; the first of its kind in Canada in recent times. What also makes it notable is that the cancellation of the program was done despite the Progressive Conservatives saying during the campaign that they would see the project to completion. Jon Kolbert ( talk) 15:52, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
This is not a proper application of WP:NOTNEWS. The most relevant part of the policy reads as follows: "While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting of announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia." The qualifier "routine" is of vital importance. MacLeod making a speech at a local Chamber of Commerce would be a "routine" news story that wouldn't rise to the threshold for inclusion. This policy announcement is in a completely different category – it was a major decision that has already been reported in the international press. By any proper estimation, it is encyclopedic and suitable for the article.
WP:NOTNEWS might provide some useful guidance as to how the event should be incorporated into this article, but it does not prevent us from mentioning it.
I could add that WP:NOTNEWS does not restrict events from being referenced on Wikipedia by virtue of their recentness. CJCurrie ( talk) 19:06, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
