Talk:Jess Dixon

Controversies Section
Numerous edits from @KitchenerGuy24 seem to put undue weight on minor events. For instance, it's not noteworthy that a member of the governing party supported a government bill, or that they had a small group of protesters at their office during a major province-wide labour dispute with government employees. It's also a questionable 'controversy' that someone didn't host media at a victory party - the only residents quoted in the article being the losing candidates in the election. The editor also draws conclusions not supported in the article (ie. "This raised concerns about how accessible she plans to be as an MPP.").

All of this is not fitting for a living persons article. Dingith (talk) 22:11, 23 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Both incidences were noteworthy enough that articles were written in reputable new sources to report them. Additionally, issues surrounding accessibility were discussed in one of the articles. All information included in this section is properly sourced by Wikipedia's guidelines and relevant for a living person's article. KitchenerGuy24 (talk) 04:57, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The entire Controveries section is an example of undue weight and should be deleted. Dixon didn't host a public party on election night and supported legislation her own government introduced - those aren't controversies, even if they are mentioned or the subject of local press.
 * With regards to her 'accessibility' and/or the election night party, the only 'members of the public' cited as finding her behaviour controversial are her opponents in the election. A previous editor flagged these edits and edited to reflect the fact that the majority of the criticism was from the Green Party candidate and you removed those edits.
 * With regards to the protest, Dixon herself wasn't the subject of the protest - they were protesting government legislation, and happened to be outside her office. She supported the legislation, but that's hardly noteworthy as she's a government member. There's no media coverage of her speaking to Bill 28 or voting on it (I don't doubt she did - but it shouldn't be mentioned if not sourced), precisely because it's not newsworthy.
