Talk:Salva Kiir Mayardit: Difference between revisions

::::It's called [[wikipedia:undue weight|undue weight]]. There are hundreds of sources talking about him, and the article is only five paragraphs long. Until we include the most important points and cite the most important sources, it is unbalanced and misleading to present that one issue as a defining aspect of his biography. This is especially true since the only source listed was a blog for gay African rights, which is not a mainstream [[wikipedia:reliable sources|reliable source]]. Additionally, our articles on politicians tend to address biographical facts, accomplishments, and efforts, not personal beliefs they've revealed in an interview. If you would like to write a longer biography that addresses his career, then a summary about his personal beliefs might be included, as long as they've been addressed in major sources. As the article is very short, it's unacceptable to give such major coverage to such a fringe issue. (On a side note, the quotes in the paragraph were not included in the source provided, so that would have to be addressed too.) —[[User:Designate|Designate]] ([[User talk:Designate|talk]]) 00:03, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

::::::In short: His views on homosexuality are a small part of his political views, and his political views ''combined'' are a small part of his biography. The article needs to be much longer and more thorough before such small things can be presented in the proper context. —[[User:Designate|Designate]] ([[User talk:Designate|talk]]) 00:05, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
