Talk:Shaun Bailey, Baron Bailey of Paddington

Comment

Sorry. I nominated this article for deletion but have totally forgotten my password. This is a page about a candidate for elected office who has no other notability. There is clear precedent that candidates for office are not sufficiently notable unless there is some other claim to notability. I don't think any other claim is sufficiently asserted here - it really just seems to be a vanity page. 86.144.83.215 (talk) 00:44, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

There appeared to be copyvio from his personal website, so I have done a partial tidy up, quoting third party references. Snowman (talk) 15:26, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Promotional tone

This edit by Widget365 (talk · contribs) has some good links, but looks like it's way too promotional. Even before that edit, it was looking promotional. Tagging as {{news release}} until I get around to looking properly. --h2g2bob (talk) 23:36, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Yep, still way too promotional, not very wikified, (inline links, 'publications' are mainly individual guest columns for newspapers), poor writing and grammar. Some of the details give a distinct flavour of self-editing. I will make a start. Centrepull (talk) 05:14, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

The promotional tone is back. The external links added in this edit are all promotional.

Battle for Hammersmith: Shaun Bailey, Andy Slaughter and the great Wikipedia mystery

It appears that a Shaun Bailey shill has been editing this page for propaganda purposes. --Tagishsimon (talk) 09:41, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Removal of information sourced from the guardian website

Recent edits have removed information sourced from Dave Hill's London Blog on guardian.co.uk. Dave Hill is a professional journalist and as I understand it the blog is under Guardian editorial control, and so I believe is a reliable source as per Wikipedia definition: Identifying_reliable_sources. As such I believe that this information should be reinstated. Dastra (talk) 12:09, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Information pre 2006

My Generation was setup on 24th February 2006, and was selected as Conservative PPC for Hammersmith on 29th March 2007 - is there any information what Shaun did between leaving university and setting up the charity ?

The ban on predictions of the future is being broken in a big way here. Bailey is possible future Mayor of London, we are told.

Racism and Islamophobia

Recent edits have removed information about racist tweets and Islamophobic tweets shared by Shaun Bailey. There are numerous references for this, e.g. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/shaun-bailey-islamophobia-sadiq-khan-london-mayor-tory-party-conservatives-a8558521.html and http://uk.businessinsider.com/shaun-bailey-conservative-candidate-2020-london-mayor-race-sadiq-khan-2018-9

This edit was performed by a Conservative Party supporter. Removing the sentence about racist tweets appears to go against the BLP guidance about balance. In particular, something isn't unbalanced simply because it's unfavourable to the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.2.226.204 (talk) 20:57, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
