I have deleted the "Background" section of the page as it appeared to contain information which is not relevant to the 2016 Leadership election, and does not appear to belong to this page. Tomaz.slivnik ( talk) 20:52, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
When listing endorsements on Wikipedia articles -- see e.g. List of endorsements in the Scottish independence referendum, 2014, Endorsements_in_the_United_Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendum,_2016 or Jeb_Bush_presidential_campaign,_2016#Endorsements -- we only list notable endorsements. As a rule of thumb, notability is determined by whether the person/organisation is considered notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article of their own. That's why I have trimmed the endorsements list here of various local councillors and regional chairs who are not in themselves notable. Compare also Labour_Party_(UK)_leadership_election,_2016#Endorsements and Conservative_Party_(UK)_leadership_election,_2016#Endorsements: councillors or regional chairs don't get listed.
Another perspective on this is to go back to the basic pillars of Wikipeda: WP:V and WP:RS. While an official social media outlet can be referenced, we would like reliable and independent sources for material. Bondegezou ( talk) 09:25, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
Is it possible to make the infobox have two candidates on each row, rather than 3 on one and 1 on the other as it currently is? Absolutelypuremilk ( talk) 09:57, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Can we keep Antanas Guoga out of the list of candidates? His supposed candidacy was a publicity stunt. He is not and never has been a member of UKIP and his views are diametrically opposite to those of UKIP. He was clearly never eligible, clearly never serious. While his stunt got media attention -- as is the point of a publicity stunt -- no media report of the election ever included him in a list of candidates or potential candidates. He should not be in a list next to Douglas Carswell or Suzanne Evans or Steven Woolfe. It is not Wikipedia's job to promote publicity stunts. It adds nothing to the readers understanding of the election to list his name. Bondegezou ( talk) 01:35, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
Would someone be able to help edit the fact that Jonathan Arnott has stepped down from the Ukip leadership race and will no longer be standing, he made an official announcement on his website here http://www.jonathanarnott.co.uk/2016/08/statement-on-the-ukip-leadership-election/

Why don't we have one article entitled UK Independence Party leadership elections, 2016 rather than an article for each election (presuming a second election does go ahead)? It's going to be much the same people involved, it's all part of the same narrative. Bondegezou ( talk) 00:06, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved. Unopposed; no minimum participation required. ( non-admin closure) Adumbrativus ( talk) 03:33, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
– as per July–September 2022 Conservative Party (UK) leadership election - I beg to move the motion! 82.41.12.175 ( talk) 21:31, 29 October 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky ( talk) 13:15, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
