Cleanup and POV tag

I've just completed a major trim and cleanup of the article (Before, After, Diff) as there appears to have been a major problem with promotional (and possibly WP:COI) editing here. I've got rid of the fluff but am tagging it as POV because there was a ton of controversy about Soudas' involvement in the Eve Adams nomination race and his leaving the CPC leadership that is covered only briefly in the article. The POV tag should remain until this is fixed - a quick google will confirm that he's been involved in several major controversies that need to be explained and outlined in much greater detail for the page to be NPOV. Will try to find time to do this myself but the initial cleanup is all I can manage right now. Fyddlestix (talk) 19:37, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and the section about his post-politics business and volunteerism endeavors needs to be much better referenced, I'm not convinced that much of that is notable or worthy of inclusion here. Something else to look at! Fyddlestix (talk) 19:39, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nigh on eight years later, and the same problems persist. 142.126.140.83 (talk) 15:47, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
