Rob Ford
This peer review discussion has been closed.. I've listed this article for peer review because as detailed on the talk page the article does not and has not for at least 21 months conformed to BLP policy. The Subject is a controversial politician currently running for Mayor of Toronto and as can be readily seen by talk page contents some Editors express quite openly negative views of the Subject and these views have been finding their way,perhaps unintentionally, into the article. There is also a well reported and admitted incident of edits to the article originating from an ISP owned by the Toronto Star, a paper which is being sued by the Subject and which other newspapers have recently criticized for printing vicious attacks against the Subject, some of which also are in the article. Most of the negative content is,while well sourced, not "relevant to a disinterested article about the subject" as required by Wikipedia BLP policy.

What I need right now is:
 * A: for Editors to review the content within the article I have deleted over the past 24 hours, almost all of which has been re-inserted, and advise your opinion as to the relevance/suitablity of those contents and
 * B: for 1 or 2 senior Editors who habve no interest or knowledge of Canadian politics to put this article on their watchlists and contribute as needed. (We do have a couple of local senior Editors doing that but their talk page comments and sparse edits have only reinforced the biased nature of the article, in my opinion. Its just a human nature problem when it comes to politics,I think, nothing intentional implied.)

 * I have no interest in Canadian Politics, for years I've only focused on basic fixes (typos), so you can consider me for Editorial Claimsfour (talk) 03:27, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
