The contents of the Faragism page were merged into Nigel Farage on 3 September 2020. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page.
As pointed out in this revert, WP:SDAVOID says avoid time-specific adjectives like "former". However, in this case the phrase exactly mirrors the opening sentence of the article. It's a fact that Farage is a "former politician"? Or else the opening sentence should also be changed? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:20, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
SPAVOID also says 'editors should not attempt to define the article's subject nor to summarise the lead'. It's just meant to give an idea as to what the subject is known for. You look up Nigel and it tells you he's known as a broadcaster and politician. I think of it the same way Mike Tyson's SD doesnt say 'former boxer', because its not what hes known for being.

For enough. Although now it's probably more like "broadcaster, politician and reality-TV celebrity". Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:58, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Should this be mentioned in the lead? Pinging @Martinevans123 per his edit summary. I've no real view on it, but if it's included it shouldn't stick out like it currently is doing. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 22:05, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It sticks out in a similar way in the lead section of Nick HancockMatt Hancock, not so much at Nadine Dorries and Kezia Dugdale. Perhaps there will soon come a day when all MPs will be obliged to compete. Until that day comes, I think it's notable and thus lead-worthy. One might argue that Farage's alleged fee of up to £1.5 million makes it even more notable. Happy to hear what other editors think. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:14, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nick Hancock? Sure, he nicked someone else's wife, but for now, "Matt"'ll probably do ;) Tim O'Doherty (talk) 22:25, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Following his very cheeky contribution, perhaps his appearance deserves to be right at the bottom? As disturbing as George Galloway's Big Brothercat antics. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:07, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit the other political affiliations section on the infobox to include the Anti-Federalist League from 1992–1993. Currently, the infobox states that Farage was a member of the Conservatives until 1993, this is incorrect and also contradicts the body of the article.[1][2][3]
level-5 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
