Huh[edit]
Of course, many articles feature the political views section. However (particularly in biographies of living people) I don't find any need to create empty sections which need a careful (and conservative, per BLP) approach in regards of the NPV you apparently preach in your user page. I find your persistence in to do so trifling and disruptive at the same time. Aside from that little issue, your proposal of "political views" currently overlaps with some of the content of "political activity" (already marked with the expansion needed template).--Asqueladd (talk) 07:17, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- PS: A tip. When you create categories, you need to insert them within the cat-tree (ie: you need to categorize them [1][2]). Linking them in wikidata to categories in other languages is also a good thing to do--Asqueladd (talk) 07:42, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- I never knew that talking about a politician's public image or political views needs to be done from a conservative POV! Iglesias is constantly both praised and lambasted, I think we both can agree that he is a controversial figure. Thus, his public image is relevant. As for his political views, once again, Iglesias and Podemos have been controversial especially in regards to Venezuela, ETA, and are sometimes seen left-wing extremists. While I don't agree with any of those propositions, I think they have been very relevant throughout his short career. Political career =/= Political views. Do you support the creation of those sections? I can write them if you're not going to delete them. Roachet (talk) 00:00, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- A conservative approach adding up points of view from sources in the primary-to-secondary-source limit such as daily news (not a "conservative POV" (?!)). While creating empty sections could prove to be of moderate usefulness in some kind of articles, I defend it does not bode well within the context of controversial sections of the biography of a living person (also prone to NPOV unbalance). Political career =/= Political views, indeed. Did I write they are the same, mate? However, the article currently includes a mini-stub of his political views in the political career section, thus part of the content of the article overlaps with your empty section proposal . That's the additional rationale I told you about not adding empty sections carelessly. You certainly do not need my permission to create a balanced section filled with actual content, although I would suggest you both staying away from sensationalistic sources and explicitly stating "who" made a particular statement.--Asqueladd (talk) 08:38, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
