This page is about an active politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. Because of this, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous.

Portrait?[edit]

Since she is a Vice Presidential candidate now, she needs a portrait in her Infobox. SmashingThreePlates (talk) 02:07, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and have added the photo request template to the top section of this page. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 02:13, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~:Photo has been provided. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 11:57, 27 March 2024 (UTC)~~[reply]

Nicely done. Thanks! -- AstruU (talk) 16:58, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~:::Unfortunately, the image appears to be a WP:COPYVIO, and can't be used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nicole_Shanahan.jpg. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 03:11, 28 March 2024 (UTC)~~[reply]

It appears that a licensed photo has now been added. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 12:21, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That one looks to be removed as well. David O. Johnson (talk) 15:12, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

any update on a picture? 2604:3D08:787E:3800:2865:42B0:6E6B:15C9 (talk) 06:42, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can we start a discussion instead of starting a slow edit war?

@M.boli and A Doon: David O. Johnson (talk) 20:33, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't appreciate being called "a possibly sock-puppet account (who's appeared only 3 times before)". It's uncalled for and doesn't Wikipedia:Assume good faith.

If you checked the article history, I've edited the article more than that. David O. Johnson (talk) 20:36, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, maybe that was unfair, but your history is pretty thin and there ARE Russian trolls out there, so sorry for jumping there. However: let's start with why the character of a VP candidate: e.g. history of drug use and cheating on one's husbands, when that's been fodder for previous presidential candidates, is NOT something relevant here? A Doon (talk) 20:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not everything that appears in a news article (even a trustworthy one) is lede-worthy or even encyclopedia-worthy. I removed these details of her sexual and marriage life from the lede because they are not part of Shanahan's notability.

In the future these details might become notable aspects of her story, in which case they will be mentioned in the lede. For example Gary Hart's monkey business derailed his presidential campaign, so it is mentioned in the lede. If and when Shanahan's personal history becomes a notable aspect of the campaign, there will be reliable news reporting showing that it is notable. At which point it will be included here and in the RFK Jr. campaign article.

I point out Shanahan's running mate RFK Jr. has a complex and salacious personal history. It is described in the appropriate section in his biography article. It is not in the ledes of either his biography or the campaign articles. This aspect of RFK Jr.'s personal history isn't related to his general notability and hasn't become a factor in the campaign.

I did not remove this material from Shanahan's personal history section. I'm willing to let other editors, including @A Doon, decide that. -- M.boli (talk) 21:00, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Photo?[edit]

Is someone gonna add a photo to this article and the 2024 Presidential Election article? 162.228.255.138 (talk) 05:19, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There have been a few added, but none of them have met the license requirements for Wikipedia and they were removed. David O. Johnson (talk) 19:03, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's absurd that not even the Kennedy campaign is putting an officially licensed picture of her in here. Glasperlenspieler (talk) 04:41, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
