The picture of Tanya Granic Allen seems to give a very poor representation of her persona. In the current image she looks angry and vicious - as far as I can tell this detracts from the neutrality of this page. Perhaps someone can upload a picture that better represents the image she normally portrays? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Honestly123 ( talk • contribs) 20:06, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
Should Mulroney still be considered prospective? She has already been endorsed by multiple people, and has accepted these endorsements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stampman11 ( talk • contribs) 18:08, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
So I was looking at the endorsement sections for the leadership candidates (Mulroney in particular) and I noticed several former federal MPs running for PC nomination ( Paul Calandra, Parm Gill, Daryl Kramp, and Susan Truppe). This is not out of the ordinary, but I saw them listed under Nomination Candidates instead of Former MPs. Is there a preference one way or another as to where these figures should be? This also affects former provincial MPP's. Shouldn't their most senior position (Federal, Provincial, Municipal) be the deciding factor and we can leave the Nominated Candidates section for PC candidates who do not have any other higher position. The alternative option is to get rid of the Nominated Candidates section all together. I understand why it is there, given that we are so close to a provincial election, but I can't remember any other leadership election article that included that in their endorsement section. Thoughts? Bkissin ( talk) 19:39, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
This section seems inaccurate. Currently it reads that they must be a sitting MPP or candidate, however this National Post article ( http://nationalpost.com/news/politics/doug-ford-says-ontario-pcs-trying-to-undermine-his-leadership-campaign-by-restricting-new-membership-sign-ups) states that "But Lefton said the requirement is only that leadership candidates go through the same vetting process as any other candidate for the party. They don’t have to actually be nominated as an MPP candidate before the leadership vote, he said." Could someone confirm the rules and update? As of now, according to this page, Doug Ford and Christine Elliott would not be eligible. - RoyalObserver —Preceding undated comment added 21:40, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Is Tanya Granic Allen's last name Allen or Granic Allen? This makes a difference when we're determining alphabetical order. Nixon Now ( talk) 19:06, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
As a note, when I uploaded the photo I took of her at the event and added it into the info box, I just chose the PC Blue Colour for her seeing as she hasn't released any branding. When someone see's the branding please feel free to update it! :) - RoyalObserver. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoyalObserver ( talk • contribs) 20:19, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
I have moved Granic Allen to the Registered Candidates section and added her to the infobox due to her registration with Elections Ontario. Her infobox colour is still the PC blue because I have yet to see any promotional material for her campaign. - RoyalObserver 14 February 2017 15:06 EST
If anyone has a picture they`ve taken themselves of Caroline Mulroney please upload it. The powers that be at Wikipedia are probably going to have the existing picture of her deleted for copyright reasons. See: File talk:Caroline Mulroney.jpg. Alternatively, if the Mulroney campaign can give permission for the image to be used, that would be helpful. Nixon Now ( talk) 20:37, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
Within individual candidates' profiles I propose to remove the heading for "Background" and simply start the narrative. In addition, I propose to bring up "Policies" section to the top and merge them with the background. Objections? Truther2012 ( talk) 14:57, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tanya Granic Allen seems to be moving towards a merge decision, so we will need expand these sections. Outback the koala ( talk) 15:28, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
Normally there would not be an entire section containing a single short sentence. Particularly when the exact same sentence has already been repeated. Unless someone intends to expand this section, I propose to delete it altogether. Truther2012 ( talk) 19:18, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
I removed a few "Other prominent individuals" from Elliott's endorsement list. Most of them do not have a proper ref (candidate saying thanks is not proper), have broken links or altogether questionable prominence. I pasted the list here, so you can improve and repost.

Should we change the colour for Granic Allen? Currently she has a magenta colour scheme in the infobox but it doesn't appear to be a colour she is using in her campaign (website, campaign emails, etc.). It will also get confusing when we create a results map as her colour is really close to the purple Mulroney has (which is a colour Mulroney is actually using). From Granic Allen's website and logo it appears that she is using gray and dark red, outside of the usual shades of blue all candidates have. Is anyone opposed to changing the colour to dark red or grey? And does anyone have a preference for the colour? Canadianpoliticalwatcher ( talk) 04:43, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
The Canadian Press style guide holds that the term "anti-abortion" should be used instead of "pro-life" as the former is neutral. Similarly, the Associated Press style guide states "Use anti-abortion instead of pro-life and abortion rights instead of pro-abortion or pro-choice. Avoid abortionist, which connotes a person who performs clandestine abortions." [1] Accordingly, please use the NPOV term anti-abortion in this article in regards to Tanya Granic Allen. Nixon Now ( talk) 20:25, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
Granic Allen is also pro-life on the topic of Euthanasia. 104.247.233.166 ( talk) 12:23, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
Notwithstanding the Globe and Mail article which said Brown's name would remain on the ballot - it actually is not. The ballot is electronic, and not paper, and as he dropped out before voting had begun removing his name from the ballot only took a few keystrokes. As anyone who has voted can attest, Brown's name is not actually on the ballot. Nixon Now ( talk) 01:31, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
Implied by this heading is that these candidates were either formally nominated by the party, approached informally to run, or at least the subject of RS media speculation about running. In many cases, however, the supplied sources do not support this. For instance, the reference given for McNaughton and Ambler states simply, "Monte McNaughton, Stella Ambler and others have chosen to sit this one out." Secondary sources aren't given for Bethlenfalvy and Levy, only their own tweets: "I’m proud to announce my full support for @celliottability as the next leader of the Ontario PC Party" —Bethlenfalvy, and "Nope I'm not interested in the job" —Levy. Compare to the properly referenced Baird who "...decided not to mount a leadership bid. Baird, also a former provincial cabinet minister, had been under intense pressure to run" —TorStar.
That some of these people were ever under consideration for or sought out the candidacy is not borne out by the given references. Unless others are interpreting the term "declined" differently, or there are objections, I propose removal of any that are not properly sourced. ― StvnW talk 05:20, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
