Talk:Peter J. Kelly

"Peter Kelly is known for his non-confrontational style which has proven to be a problem when trying to rein in some of the more outspoken councillors who have taken to directly challenging the mayor's and city employees' decision-making." removed as not NPOV Harleymcc 13:14, 7 December 2005 (UTC)harleymcc

Kelly's Successes?
Can someone please list some of Kelly's successes as mayor. It's nice to see he's won several majorities but I'm still confused on his accomplishments and/or failures over his 8 years in the position? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.222.39.182 (talk) 19:34, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Political Party???
Why are we adding a political party to a municipal politicians' infobox. This makes it appear to a reader that he is the Progressive Conservative Mayor of HRM, which isn't the case as political parties don't run candidates in municipal elections in Nova Scotia. Kelly did run for the provincial Tories in 1993, and was rumoured as a potential candidate for the leadership after John Hamm resigned, so chances are that he may very well be a party supporter, or even member, but look at the source provided. It's an opinion piece where the writer makes reference to Kelly being a party member, but is that a strong enough source to actually add to an encyclopedia? The only person who can claim with certainty that he belongs to the party is the subject himself, and as far as I know, he hasn't done that. His run for the party in 1993 is fact 1 and probably could be added to the text in some way, but adding a political party based on what a writer says in an opinion piece may do more harm than good, especially if he isn't a member to begin with. If by chance, he has confirmed that he belongs to the party, then a source for that would be essential. Cmr08 (talk) 02:44, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Bias
I am not a fan of Peter Kelly personally, some parts of this article seem like a opinon piece and even an attack on him. This is not what I enjoy seeing on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Newfiebullet24 (talk • contribs) 17:50, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Based on the discussion, I agree that the executor of the will is a personal matter that needs citation that it should enter the realm of his bio and based on this have removed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.175.57.4 (talk) 12:05, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

The estate issue was a notable controversy involving Kelly's court appointed and public responsibility which played a notable role in the end of his career as mayor. These facts in the article are well-sourced and should remain.Letterofmarque (talk) 00:10, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

The estate did NOT play a role in ending his career has Mayor. Peter Kelly didn't seek re-election due to his personal choice. The estate has nothing to do with his career or his duty as Mayor. It should be in his personal life is cited as all. It is incredibly bias to say that editorial articles are credible as factual sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.222.227.158 (talk • contribs) 21:45, 3 June 2014
