This article has been given a much-needed facelift. However, there are still statements which remain unreferenced. RGBLight (talk) 23:55, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Request removing the first sentence in the following passage as neither provided source supports it. The "she" in the subsequent sentence should be changed to "Allan" accordingly.

"Allan has been a strong supporter of increasing housing supply. In 2024, she announced a proposal to overhaul planning rules to allow taller buildings and increased housing density near train and tram stations in Melbourne." 147.161.212.193 (talk) 05:54, 1 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Not done: It seems clear from the cited sources that Allan is a proponent of building additional housing. Day Creature (talk) 05:29, 2 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Earlier today an editor added content about a recent drink driving conviction of Jacinta Allan's husband. I reverted this on the basis that it's not about Jacinta Allan. User:LivelyRatification re-added it with an edit summary saying "I believe this is relevant to the article and not undue". I cannot see how, unless the intention is to negatively tar Allan with the sins of her husband. HiLo48 (talk) 09:16, 4 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

I reverted this on the assumption that information about a subject's non-notable relative (spouse, child, parent), could be included in the article if not given undue weight. I'm less certain about this after some policy reading, given WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE, but I certainly don't think that its inclusion reflects negatively on Allan. An article written about Jane, for example, might include that her father Bob had a drinking problem in her youth, or that her daughter Paula king-hit someone. Don't give it undue weight, violate the person's right to privacy, but if someone who knows about Jane's husband is likely to know an unsavoury fact about him, I think it's worth including.

The fact that it made the national news is relevant. Doug butler (talk) 01:18, 11 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
