This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about an active politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. Because of this, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

NPOV/OR[edit]

How is this statement considered wp:NPOV?

"No action was taken as the sexual abuse of underage women is a tradition in the LDS Church."

The refs provided are hardly wp:RS, and as they don't mention Garn at all, so using them to support the conclusion in this statement is wp:OR.

How can this be considered usable on a wp:BLP? -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 20:29, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This was removed, but based on the edit history, it seems likely that it might be added again by a persistant editor who keeps reinserting it. Please discuss this material here before reinserting it again. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 16:58, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DUI[edit]

The reference for the DUI section was dead. I found a replacement and reworded it to make it simpler. My view is we should remove the material from the article. It's well-sourced, but it's not relevant to anything. There's no context. It didn't affect his career. The only reason it even came out was because of the other problem, so reporters dug for anything else they could find on him. If there's no objection after a couple of days, I'll remove it. Otherwise, it can be discussed.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:26, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

oops i think i replaced your source with another source. i am tending to agree with your reasoning, although in my source it seems that there was some concern that the incident had been hushed up because of his status as a legislator. if there is anything more on that lines, then it would be appropriate. -- The Red Pen of Doom 02:46, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
