Many others, as well as myself, have edited the article page to remove references to nepotism being used in relation to friends, as the cited dictionary sources do not support this usage, nor do any other major dictionaries. However, this keeps being re-added, so I believe this issue needs to be settled for the article to stay coherent as it later used in examples to mean favouritism towards friends. For now, I have instead opted to add a WP:CITENEED to the claim rather than edit it again. I look forward to everyone’s input. --Tanszism (talk) 15:44, 3 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
I see that the reference you have WP:CITENEEDed is in the lead; the lead is designed to be a précis of what is in the article and having checked, there are only two potential mentions of friends being the beneficiaries of nepotism, in Kirchnerist Argentina and Putin's childhood friend; as neither of these is either of English source or language nor clearly defined as nepotism, the inclusion in the lead is, perhaps, incorrect. I will join with those who have taken it out. It is possible that the word has been expanded in meaning in more recent years, but i would want to see a reasonable and reliable source for that before agreeing with it; if such exists, and is incorporated meaningfully into the body of the article, then the addition could be put back to the lead ~ LindsayHello16:45, 3 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
The image may potentially give people inaccurate ideas about Benjamin Harrison (US president)

Harrison was a staunch opponent of the "spoils system" that dominated US politics, a "half breed" rather than a "stalwart". I understand that the Benjamin Harrison depicted in the cartoon is a different person, but my own first impression on reading the caption was that it claimed that President Harrison engaged in or endorsed nepotism. Especially as he is one of the less well-known US presidents, but still well-known enough that the average reader will likely recognize the name, I am concerned that the choice of image and caption will simply spread myths about his administration. ~2026-78505-9 (talk) 05:21, 17 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

I am so surprised, Nigeria isn't on this page (as a Nigerian) unless there is some sort of sugar-coating. If needs be we could add it in the near future. Thank you. Indomie-Man 1994 (talk) 01:29, 29 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
