Orphaned references in Political life of Clint Eastwood

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Political life of Clint Eastwood's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "independent":

From Clint Eastwood: Amara, Pavan; Sundberg, Charlotte (May 30, 2010). "Eastwood at 80". independent.co.uk. The Independent. Retrieved September, 20 2010. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |accessdate= (help); Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help)
From United States presidential election, 2008: Johnson, Wesley (February 6, 2008). "Super Tuesday results state by state". London: The Independent. Retrieved June 9, 2009.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 14:11, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Clint Eastwood at the 2012 Republican National Convention

TMI, non-encyclopedic, redundant, FAN-tainted article. No other major actor e.g., see Al Pacino and Dustin Hoffman has multiple pages covering every aspect of their life, or covering a single speech they made at a political convention. The main article about his political life is not that long and already includes a substantial part of what this article covers. This article could be trimmed and summarized in encyclopedic style and easily included in that article. — btphelps ^{(talk to me) (what I've done)} 07:59, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a very sensical proposal and really should be an AfD. There is far too much sourced content, in fact most of it, which is not related to the speech at the 2012 RNC so the merge would be totally out of place in that target article. Eastwood was even mayor of Carmel and I don't see how any of that content would be appropriate for the RNC speech article. So I will say oppose. Oakshade (talk) 02:39, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I meant to propose a merger in the opposite direction -- to merge RNC speech article with this one, my bad. — btphelps ^{(talk to me) (what I've done)} 18:05, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The Responses section is a bit excessive, and with some of the fat and redundancy trimmed this would fit just fine in the main article. Reywas92^Talk 08:20, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If the proposal is to merge the RNC speech into this article, I still say Oppose for the largely the same reasons. It should be an AfD. There is far too much topic specific sourced content in the RNC speech article, which while related to this topic, is truly a different one. Honestly, I don't see the content in the RNC speech article as "FAN-tainted." A vast majority of the sourced content would be out of place in the target article as the RNC article is primarily about the RNC speech and the impact it had on the election and would be out place in this one. Also, the RNC article was in AfD years ago and was closed as a definitive Keep, not "Merge" so a merge would be out of consensus. If the proposer wants to gauge if there's a change of consensus, as stated before, they can AfD it and see if that has happened.Oakshade (talk) 19:18, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Internal incongruities

In the "Presidential Support" section of the article there are inconsistencies between the '2016' and '2020' sections. While the former implies that Mr. Eastwood has not endorsed Mr. Trump for the office of president, the latter one implies that he has. I suggest that the '2020' section be changed according to a review of sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AJP0404 (talk • contribs) 01:49, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
