[edit]Don't get me wrong, I'm all for holding corrupt politicians and officials to account, but... I'm not sure this is the way to do it. Presumably the persons listed in the article are living, so we should observe WP:BLP. Moreover, most of the names on the list do not have any citations against them, and the few citations there are point to a single website which may or may not be reliable enough per WP:RS. (All that's to say nothing of the multiple other issues with this article, or that IMHO this hardly warrants an article of its own in the first place.) As it stands, I would prefer to see this article removed. Views? DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:44, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
- Would it help if a short summary of the allegations are written along with the names of the persons? -Masssly (talk) 14:56, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
- I'm sure it would help, insofar that it wouldn't hurt at least and would be a step in the right direction. But I think more important than that would be to find a reliable source (or better yet, sourceS) to support this, so that it's a) verifiable, b) neutral POV, and c) not original research, per the WP:BLP guidelines. Even then we might still be on relatively thin ice, but at least that would be a start. DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:12, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
- PS: I ought to slightly correct myself there - I keep referring to WP:BLP but I'm not sure that's quite the right guideline here, perhaps there's a more relevant one? At any rate, Masssly, I have a funny feeling I'm telling you something that you know far more about than me. :) DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:17, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Masssly:
Agree At the moment, almost nothing about why these parliamentarians are here is in the article. Regards, User:TheDragonFire300. (Contact me | Contributions). This message was left at 23:00, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
