Talk:Drew Ferguson (politician)

Removed list of rankings
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"
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.
