Talk:Wade MacLauchlan

A bit much
Do we really need all this info on his childhood and personal life considering until two months ago he was just a university president? And if all this info is on MacLauchlan's page, shouldn't it also be on Rob Lantz's page? 24.142.32.143 (talk) 02:22, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * We don't care what he was two months ago — we care what he is now, and what he is now is a person whose childhood and personal life is of greater interest than it would be if he were still just a university president. People do want and deserve to know the background on their own premier. And Wikipedia content is not a matter of "if Person A has this, then Person B has to have the same thing too" tit-for-tat — for either McLauchlan or Lantz, we can only add content that we can reliably source. So if you want the content added to Lantz's article, then write the Charlottetown Guardian and get them to write some more stuff about Lantz so that we can add something more than we've got — but until that happens, we can't do anything here except summarize stuff that the media have already published about him. If they haven't written about his childhood upbringing or educational background yet, then it's not our job to research that stuff for them — we don't investigate or dig into that stuff for ourselves, but merely summarize and repeat whatever we can glean from media coverage. So if the media haven't published enough about Lantz yet for us to make his article as long and detailed as McLauchlan's is, then that's their problem to fix and not ours.

2020 updates
This update smells like the one you might do if you were a rich, retired politician who would rather work on their Wikipedia entry post-losing-in-a-humiliating-fashion rather than listen to your constituents when you were in power. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.30.163.20 (talk) 19:21, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
