I strongly disagree with the redirect on this article.

Conor Lamb clearly meets both these criteria for notability:

"significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article".

I apologize if I am not going about this properly. I am relatively new to Wikipedia. Quigley david (talk) 22:05, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Free Beacon Internet Comment

I reverted this add [1] I think there are two issues. One is about the source. It is politically motivated and bias. Not WP:RS in this context. The second is WP:WEIGHT. The article is about an Internet comment he might have made from years ago. Lamb can’tremember doing it(it’s an Internet comment at the end of an article). Who knows. That said, it shouldn’t be in a bio.Casprings (talk) 09:02, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Language in introduction

It is completely preposterous to assume that by enforcing drug prohibition as a prosecutor Conor had any positive effect on the opioid crisis. It reads like Conor Lamb wrote it himself. I have removed that language from the introduction. Sinbadbuddha (talk) 20:44, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We are not here to judge the impact of his work. We are here to list what he has tried to do, as documented by reliable sources. Reliable sources heavily document his involvement in prosecuting cases related to the opioid epidemic. The lead accurately reflects that in an NPOV way, with sources.
