Removal of House tenure section and BLPN report
editThe section on Durkin's House tenure drew upon three sources: Prairie State Wire, West Cook News, and Will County Gazette. All three appear to fail WP:RS guidelines for a neutral, qualified editorial board. Per concerns raised at WP:BLPN#Jim Durkin, I have removed the section entirely.
I invite any editor who wants the material restored to find citations from the Chicago Tribune or other reputable, reliable newspapers to support the claims—and to discuss the changes here before re-adding them. Feel free to {{mention}} me in your post so I get a notification and can respond. —C.Fred (talk) 21:14, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
