I wanna see how "hypothetical" situations would've been supported by the people here. Feel free to add yours: –Howard the Duck 07:29, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Are we supposed to give our rationale behind any support/oppose? Or is this just a vote? I know you didn't state your rationale but you might add later. --BorgQueen (talk) 07:38, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
We have no clue as to what any of those people are going to do later in their lives. Are we voting based on if they died tomorrow? Therequiembellishere (talk) 07:42, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Also, these situations only contain UK and US 'items'. Is there a reason or coincidence? I bet you regretting doing this now! :) --Daviessimo (talk) 07:53, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Just votes. And like I said earlier, feel free to add your other potential blurbs. –Howard the Duck 08:28, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Howard the Duck didn't reply your question, Therequiembellishere, but I think answer is yes. --BorgQueen (talk) 09:36, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
What BorgQueen said. Sorry. –Howard the Duck 11:37, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Is anybody actually suggesting that these !votes are going to be binding, and that the decision has essentially been made for when/if these events occur? Kevin McE (talk) 08:09, 20 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
This is just to test the waters. At least we can know if such hypothetical situations would succeed when they become true. –Howard the Duck 13:53, 20 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
We almost had to use one of these. Aquino was initially reported dead on 24 July. Therequiembellishere (talk) 01:26, 28 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
