Article Title[edit]
I noticed that the title of this article is different from other similarly-named articles such as Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection, 1948, Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection, 1952, Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection, 1960, Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection, 1964, Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection, 1968, Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection, 1972, Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection, 1988 which raises the question of whether this article title should be changed, or whether the article titles I cited along with all other similarly-named articles should be changed.--TommyBoy (talk) 03:50, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: Moved. (non-admin closure) kennethaw88 • talk 00:28, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
Update: I have now moved the page to Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection, 1944 to maintain full consistency with the other pages listed at Template:United States vice presidential candidate selection. The move arguments were for consistency, and I assume this is what the nominator had in mind. kennethaw88 • talk 00:38, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
Democratic vice presidential nomination of 1944 → Democratic vice presidential candidate selection, 1944 – per my previous comments on the article's Talk page, I am formally submitting a request for this article to be renamed. TommyBoy (talk) 18:52, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- Support I see no reason why this shouldn't be consistent with the other articles. Lepricavark (talk) 01:57, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

I know this has already closed, but FDR didn't really have much say in who would be the candidate ("selection") as in 1940. The convention chose the VP nominee much more than he did. Master of Time (talk) 05:51, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
I agree with the comment above. There really HAS to be a citation for the claim that "By late spring 1944, the group had succeeded in turning Roosevelt against Wallace..." from what I have read, that was simply not the case, and that statement serves to (in my opinion, falsely) contradict the idea that this was a conspiracy against Wallace perpetrated by party bosses/higher ups in the democratic party. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:1201:8162:25B9:9898:3A9B:B072 (talk) 22:28, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
Why?[edit]
I find it questionable that this article makes no mention of why Wallace was so strongly opposed within the Party.
Certainly they had reasons. Why are they not included? jdege (talk) 17:47, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
Major link dead - cited 8 times[edit]
"7. 'Harry S. Truman, 34th Vice President (1945)', U.S. Senate" is broken. The link is cited 8 times in this wiki article. I couldn't find an alternate source on senate.gov that verified the info cited. 2600:1700:DAD0:15FF:94E:7B97:37F4:BF3F (talk) 00:44, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
