The issue is whether this graphic should be included, in any one of the sections, "2024 presidential campaign" or "False or misleading statements" or "Promotion of conspiracy theories". 15:32, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
This RFC is to determine whether consensus exists for the inclusion of the following two sentences regarding a widely covered hoax that went viral during the 2024 Donald Trump campaign with regard to JD Vance. The hoax (as evidenced by usage of the word "hoax") is clearly false, however, coverage of it has been noteworthy, consistent, and it has clearly had an impact on the subject of this biography. The text below (as was used prior to removal without any consensus) very clearly states in Wikivoice it is a hoax, and absent consensus for removal, will be the text used in the article. 16:44, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
When describing Mahatma Gandhi's last hunger strike (or "fast-unto-death") undertaken on 12 January 1948, should we say that in addition to stemming the religious violence (or restoring the peace):
"the fast also sought to pressure the Indian government to pay out1 cash assets owed to Pakistan?" (Note: 1: pay out = pay a large sum of money from funds under one's control.)
(both in the lead and the relevant section)
(in the relevant section, but not in the lead)
"the fast also sought to indirectly (or implicitly) pressure the Indian government to pay out cash assets owed to Pakistan?
(both in the lead and in the relevant section)
( in the relevant section, but not in the lead)
"the fast also caused (or led) the Indian government to pay out cash assets owed to Pakistan."
(both in the lead and in the relevant section)
(in the relevant section, but not in the lead)
Make no mention of cash assets in this context anywhere in the article.
"In the months following, Gandhi went on hunger strike several times to stop the religious violence. The last, begun in Delhi on 12 January 1948 when he was 78, also aimed to restore to Pakistan its share of cash assets of undivided British India. The fast was an important factor in the Indian government's decision to pay out the assets during a time when India and Pakistan were engaged in a war over the disputed territory of Kashmir."
