Talk:Drew Ferguson (politician)

Removed list of rankings

edit

I removed a paragraph that was a list of rankings from various conservative organizations which read:

Vote Smart reports that Conservative Review has given Ferguson a 55% evaluation, Americans for Prosperity has given him a lifetime evaluation of 100%, Campaign for Working Families has given him a 100% evaluation, Heritage Action Freedom Index gave him a 77% evaluation, the American Conservative Union gave him a lifetime evaluation of 93%, and the John Birch Society Freedom Index gave him a 57% evaluation.

This seemed to be WP:NPOV and didn't cite any sources.

If folks think this line belongs in the page, could we please consider: 1. adding it to a separate section of external evaluations, and 2. narrow the list to a few large, reputable sources, 3. constrain the list to either a mix of evaluators from across party lines, or nonpartisan evaluations, and 4. cite sources.

I was surprised to see that wasn't here too, @AllThatJazz2012. I added a bit about it in this edit.
Now that I'm looking at the revision history, the book controversy was add previously in this edit, but removed at some point.

"Political positions"

edit

I removed the entire "Political Positions" section - violations of WP:NOR, WP:UNDUE, and WP:PRIMARY. This was clearly non-neutral ("Congressman Ferguson fought for ... "). More importantly, there was no demonstration that any of the information was newsworthy - that a Congressmember co-sponsors a bill is not something that belongs in an encyclopedia, unless there is a news article about why that was controversial.
