Biased description of a character

Since Wikipedia is the encyclopedia of the world, do you think this bio delivers all the perspectives ? 2604:3D08:1282:4500:5D19:81BC:7E33:3364 (talk) 04:07, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It delivers the noteworthy and notable perspective, yes. We don't give a platform to the fringe. ValarianB (talk) 11:34, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article is biased. What you call the fringe is composed of Americans who believe in morality. Wikipedia is not neutral. TideWater11 (talk) 02:29, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

TideWater11, please provide some evidence for your assertion. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:37, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

it's definitely biased. It said he's anti immigration and that's a lie. He's anti illegal immigration! 2600:1700:3551:2800:BC93:F9C0:7BC6:457A (talk) 20:47, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, also anti-legal immigration.

Stephen Miller: Trump will implement ‘spectacular migration crackdown’

Emails show Stephen Miller pressed hard to limit green cards – Muboshgu (talk) 20:51, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Immigration

He's anti illegal immigration. Not immigration. 2600:1700:3551:2800:BC93:F9C0:7BC6:457A (talk) 20:45, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Miller is anti all immigration. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:52, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 18:31, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

– A pageview analysis shows that this Miller has received far more views than the other Stephen Millers. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 15:42, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose A mere page view analysis for a recently active political figure is biased by WP:RECENTISM. No other evidence provided. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:59, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Miller is not recently active, as his infobox shows. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 16:06, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He's active. Very recently active. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:09, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I should have clarified, what I'm referring to is that he had roles in Trump's administration and will continue to have those roles. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 16:10, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hence WP:RECENTISM. Is he more important than a former governor of Minnesota or a former governor of South Carolina in the long-term? Or how about the other ten or so? And please don't edit your comments after someone has already responded to it. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:16, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Clearly the primary topic, the other pages are not nearly as notable. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 19:17, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per above. WP:RECENTISM doesn't apply as he has been a major figure since 2016. Additionally, he is going to be appointed as Deputy Chief of Staff in the White House. The other Stephen Millers are nowhere as notable. Danski14^(talk) 19:26, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is essentially the definition of RECENTISM. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:37, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. WP:RECENTISM. Theparties (talk) 19:55, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per points raised above. The Account 2 (talk) 15:02, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose WP:RECENTISM. Doug Weller talk 15:17, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose on the WP:RECENTISM grounds cited above, and because of the sheer commonality of the given name, surname, and combination. I would also note that all of these are easily confused with the many names at Steve Miller. BD2412 T 17:38, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. No primary topic here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:23, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Including that someone is listed as an "extremist" by the Southern Poverty Law Center is useless information, akin to noting that they are listed by the John Birch Society as a communist. 128.92.214.163 (talk) 22:56, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion

Much of this is opinion vs fact 2600:100A:B11A:F9E8:528:C5AA:CA34:80E4 (talk) 22:42, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. A very slanted article for Wikipedia. The references to what Miller supposedly said in high school are petty and subjective. Lscollison (talk) 17:23, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How so? This is a biography of his entire life, not just his time in the Trump administrations. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:24, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
