Talk:Nancy Boyda

Upset
This paragraph, presented with its misspellings and grammatical errors, was apparently removed for being POV ("Removed commentary of a Wikipedian"):
 * Her election in 2006 was wiedely considered to be an upset, as Ryun was a long-time, popular republican incumbent in a republican district.

I'm under the impression her win was an upset, and nothing in that text seems unduly POV. The fact that she won in an upset, beating a Republican in a Republican district, is both interesting and encyclopedic. It needs to be substantiated though, which shouldn't be too hard.

 * It was certainly considered an upset around here (Lawrence). I'll see if I can dig up some news stories which use the term so that they can be cited; other than that, I don't know what else could be used -- it's certainly easy to establish that the district is majority Republican (about 56% Republican to 44% Democratic, according to the Secretary of State's statistics), and Ryun had previously beaten Boyda pretty handily in 2004, but throwing a bunch of citations to mainstream coverage which call it an "upset" is probably the only safe thing to do if that word's going to survive in the article.

Tenure
Seeking comment and agreement: The first few items listed under “Tenure” may not qualify as newsworthy for inclusion in this bio. The three items are her voting against a bill she did not sponsor, denied application to join a coalition group, and House passage of a bill she introduced. The bill passage likely is relevant but needs a Reliable Source. It may still fall below the WP:NOTEVERYTHING standards. Should these items be included or deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Go4thProsper (talk • contribs) 13:39, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
