Request reason:

I am not whitewashing anything. On Wikipedia, we are all about keeping content as factual as possible. Richard B. Spencer's occupation was an author and publisher. To call him a white supremacist is not upholding the WP:NPOV standard. Essentially speaking, you have blocked me for doing something right, and I hope the reviewing admin can see this. 2601:246:CF80:67F0:B8EE:8D33:EFF2:9FAF (talk) 02:53, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Being "factual", though important, is not what we are about in and of itself. We are about verifiability, not truth. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources state. If most of such sources describe someone as a white supremacist, then that's what we describe them as, giving due weight to how the breadth of sources describe someone. If you have sources that describe someone as not being a white supremacist, you can offer those so a consensus can be developed as to what sources say in general, but you can't just remove the term if sources use it. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 07:41, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
