Talk:Paul Corey

Political label is offensive.

In the 4th paragraph of the article the person who it is about, Corey, is called a liberal. Even though I am a liberal too, I find the labelling of people according to their politics (or other views) to be irrelevant and offensive. I want to delete it, but never having editted before, I might screw it up. Somebody please delete it! 2604:3D09:8878:4500:5DC3:422F:E902:6594 (talk) 16:43, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

@2604:3D09:8878:4500:5DC3:422F:E902:6594 I forgot to say that the label will make him (although he is dead) and this article a target for violence and/or defacement. 2604:3D09:8878:4500:5DC3:422F:E902:6594 (talk) 16:49, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

Political views are often added to Wikipedia biographies, so I fail to see the issue. You just labeled yourself as a liberal while being against labeling people as liberal. It makes no sense. I would revert your removal as well because there is no logic behind it. SL93 (talk) SL93 (talk) 17:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

Pinging Gatoclass as the set approver in case I'm missing something, but I doubt that I am. SL93 (talk) 17:08, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

You're not. "Liberal" is not a dirty word, in spite of the impression one might get from listening to certain media outlets :)

And it's perfectly normal for BLP's to say something about the subject's political views. It's not as though it's something they'd be ashamed of, after all. Gatoclass (talk) 17:49, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
