Pavlos Geroulanos and Andonis Samaras are not an example of nepotism as they are from opposing political parties (New Democracy and PASOK). There is no favoritism to a relative here as the one defeated the other in a political election.In addition they are not cousins but fourth cousins (Great-grandparents were cousins).


 * Hello. I reverted your edit again because it is usually not a good idea to delete a whole paragraph without giving a reason in the edit summary. I'm not going to pretend that I know anything about the subject, so I would recommend that you put your reasoning in the article's discussion page and see what the consensus is. --BurtAlert (talk) 21:49, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

The definition of nepotism at the top of the page is: "Nepotism is favoritism granted to relatives or friends regardless of merit.[1]". I would suggest deleting the whole paragraph because it is factually wrong: No favour was granted as Antonis Samaras and his party (New Democracy) were defeated by Pavlos Geroulanos and his party (PASOK) and they are distant relatives ands not cousins.


 * Understood. Like I said, I know nothing about Greek politics so you could be absolutely right. I just wanted make sure you had a reason for deleting a paragraph as it could be controversial. --BurtAlert (talk) 21:58, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
