Untitled

The person has received extensive coverage in newspapers in Malta as a candidate for MEP elections. Furthermore, unique approaches in the campaign (only MEP candidate to launch green campaign) is significant for Malta. See for example: http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20081129/local/pn-ep-candidate-launches-green-campaign/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.18.136.106 (talk) 15:57, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The only "unique" election campaign approach here is the attempt to get free publicity in Wikipedia. The page should be deleted as election propaganda as the person is not significant enough at the moment. -134.93.52.128 (talk) 20:53, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Self video introduction

Video Introduction (English) / (Maltese)

Although a great addition to the article, the information contained in Metsola’s video introduction is now out dated and could be misleading. I have removed the video. Jo Jc Jo^{Talk💬Edits📝} 23:02, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Plagiarism allegations

Although Stefan Weber is to some extent notable, per WP:BLP, we cannot report his allegations^[1] without confirmation from a WP:RS. By that I mean an authority that has validated his analysis, not merely reported it. It's a pity but that's how it has to be. Same rule for all living people. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 16:16, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
