In the Run for Governor section, mentioning Steve Fulop and Steve Sweeney as potential candidates for Governor seems moot now, doesn't it? Perhaps these mentions should be removed entirely, since neither is running for Governor. Princetoniac ( talk) 17:40, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
I figure the name of the article should be changed to "Phil Murphy" per WP:COMMONNAME. The name "Phil" over "Philip D." is used on his website, signs, flyers, campaign ads, Twitter account, the televised debates, and news articles about him. Similar to how Joe Kennedy III recently was changed from "Joseph P. Kennedy III" or how Hillary Clinton used to be "Hillary Rodham Clinton" before her 2015-2016 campaign ditched her maiden name, so her article changed to suit that.

Going through the paragraph where it says that Murphy's nomination was well-received in the US but controversial among German officials, notably Merkel. The paragraph cites a Harper's article and two Der Spiegel article but they don't give the same accounts of why his nomination was held up...
Harper's: "Another is Phil Murphy, a Goldman Sachs executive who served as the Democratic Party’s national finance chairman, tapped to represent the United States in Berlin. The Murphy appointment so troubled German leaders that they held up agrément–the diplomatic process under which the receiving nation agrees to accept the ambassadorial designee–so that Chancellor Angela Merkel could press the case for a career diplomat or serious political figure. Merkel made her appeal at the G-8 meeting at L’Aquila, but Obama was unswayed. The Germans finally relented and grudgingly accepted the appointment." (last sentence hyperlinks to the same Der Spiegel article).
https://harpers.org/blog/2009/07/ambassadorships-for-sale/
Der Spiegel (relevant parts): Germany has given its nod of approval to the appointment of Phil Murphy as the next US ambassador to Germany. SPIEGEL ONLINE has learned that the Federal Office of the German President has issued a so-called "agrément" for Murphy this week... Apparently there were no objections to Murphy, 52, a former banker at Goldman Sachs.... Sources close to the White House have attributed the delays to a comprehensive new review for top posts in the Obama administration. As a result of a tax scandal earlier this year, this procedure has become even stricter. In Murphy's case, there was a lot to review."
Neither DS article mentions anything about Merkel's objections to Murphy, and it seems like they'd be more tuned in than Scott Horton of Harper's. I'm recommending it be removed unless someone can find more credible sources to back up the Harper's claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.123.176.24 ( talk) 19:17, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Leaving this here for future notice; this article will probably be the primary topic for "Phil Murphy" should Murphy be elected, as is likely, and a move discussion should be initiated in November if that happens, as is expected. Mélencron ( talk) 02:45, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
This change https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Phil_Murphy_(politician)&diff=801970927&oldid=801970867 took out a quote by Murphy that the state's pension problems were bipartisan in cause. Even if you don't put back the quote you should at least modify the text to briefly say that Murphy considered the problem to have bipartisan origins. Thank you.

There is a problem with footnote 13 - it is a not working URL but you can see it archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20100208181010/http://germany.usembassy.gov/about/ambassador/ . Then someone a couple of days ago someone changed emerging nations of Central Europe to emerging nations of post-USSR. But this archive source shows the change is wrong. Probably would be best to say emerging post-Warsaw Pact economies of Central Europe.

The state of the gubernatorial race going into the final month of the campaign needs to be reflected. Consider using this nationally visible Politico piece http://www.politico.com/states/new-jersey/story/2017/10/03/monmouth-poll-murphy-leads-guadagno-by-14-points-114848 as a source. 70.192.84.57 ( talk) 22:47, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Phil Murphy (politician) → Phil Murphy – This Phil Murphy was just elected Governor of New Jersey which ostensibly makes him WP:PRIMARYTOPIC on both counts. The other Phil Murphys are marginally notable sportspeople with stubs for articles. Nohomersryan ( talk) 01:25, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
I removed some of the details from this article's coverage of the election. There is still a lot of content from 2016 even though the primary didn't even take place until mid-2017. Some early developments are worth noting, but we don't need to include every step of the campaign. I think weeding out extraneous details will help to keep this article focused on more significant developments, especially since this article is guaranteed to grow in the coming years. Knope7 ( talk) 04:19, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
Here's a campaign retrospective that emphasizes my point: https://amp.northjersey.com/amp/845857001 Among other statements in there: "Murphy was expected to win Tuesday’s gubernatorial contest from the moment he outmaneuvered Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop and state Senate President Stephen Sweeney for the Democratic nomination." 2600:1002:B110:1AF9:9C98:8EAA:EA50:ECA9 ( talk) 18:06, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

The photograph of Phil Murphy on the article dates back to his period as Ambassador to Germany. However, there is now an official portrait of Murphy as Governor, from the official Office of the Governor: http://nj.gov/governor/assets/images/portraits/GovMurphy-1200x1500.jpg

The "Tenure" section is empty, which implies Phil Murphy has done nothing as governor.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Phil Murphy's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
