Page protection
Since there's been a slow-motion edit war going on here, I've protected this page for a week. If there's a legitimate content dispute, this is the place to talk it out. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 19:44, 6 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment Regardless of the disputes, that "Controversies" section is like 4/5 of the article. That's unacceptable for a BLP. That kind of heading is pretty much always POV, too. I'm seeing WP:UNDUE issues have and potentially POV pushing. It currently reads like a slam piece to someone (me) who isn't familiar with this person. EnPassant♟♙ (talk) 21:43, 6 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I've seen the "Controversies" section is too high of a percentage of the page point before and I understand it but what's the recourse? Every time there's a new controversy should I add something to a different part of the page? A separate "Yahaya Bello controversies" page could be created but it would be odd to have a separate page to an original page that's so small; obviously we can't just delete well-sourced content to 'balance the page out.' Lastly, what heading should replace it? And it's not a "slam piece," I've edited controversies on Nigerian politicians' pages for a while and Bello just has a lot of them.

 * Please see WP:NOTNEWS and WP:PROPORTION. Not every news report about a living person should be listed here, that's not what Wikipedia is for. EnPassant♟♙ (talk) 18:03, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I guess a few subsections could be edited down but these aren’t every new item on him, like I said he just has a lot of them. There's maybe a potential merger of two Corruption subsections but most of the sections are well-sourced and make sense to be on this page. Watercheetah99 (talk) 20:52, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Perhaps limit the "Controversies" section to the first three subsections, and shorten the "Corruption allegations" subsection, since they are only allegations? If any are eventually addressed by a criminal charges and/or a conviction, or result in official sanctions, then more detailed discussion could be added at that time? I think the unproven allegations of corruption are newsworthy due to their number, but that the detailed discussion of and dedicated sub-subsections for each allegation are largely responsible for the violation of WP:UNDUE and WP:PROPORTION.

 * Okay that makes sense. So (if this is good) the "Corruption allegations" subsection will be made a section which will then be shortened and its subsections merged? Eyeballing it, I think I can shorten the "Security fund and office renovation" subsection and attempt to combine the "2016 Kogi in Action and Egalitarian Mission for Africa accusations," "2021 Anti-Corruption Network accusations," and "COVID-19 tracking software" subsections into one "Budget allocations" subsection.

Major achievements in office
This section seems like a political advertisement. And seems written in a very subjective manner. I like elections (talk) 21:39, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree, the section is one-sided and is overweight. Some of the material is not supported by the sources. It should be severely pruned, and it may be necessary to delete it. However, we should include a neutral discussion of what Bello did in office and what his policy priorities were. I encourage someone with more knowledge of the subject than I have to do this.
