This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Repeated deletions of material critical of the subject by accounts with possible COI

Latest comment: 1 month ago3 comments1 person in discussion

The following accounts have repeatedly removed the same information critical of the article subject:

Wilm87 in 1185313956

Wmiao87 in 1153386768

167.32.2.46 in 1271328835 (edit summary "aaa")

167.32.2.3 in 1278774895 (edit summary "dada"), 1278813120 (edit summary "wsadad")

Dwaniondwaodna in 1278943747

The removed content includes:

Information casting doubt on Miao's claims regarding his education.
Information about Miao's delay in opening a constituency office.
Information about Miao's spending during his time as an MP.
Allegations of Chinese election interference against Miao's opponent in the 2021 Canadian federal election.

The accounts may have an undeclared COI regarding the article subject:

Wilm87 and Wmiao87 may be the article subject himself. The usernames use the name and birth year of the article subject. In 1184729809, Wilm87 also used an edit summary of "More details or my professions".
167.32.2.46 (geolocate) and 167.32.2.3 (geolocate) are IP addresses allocated to the Canadian House of Commons, of which the article subject is a sitting member. The entire 167.32.0.0/16 block is allocated to the House of Commons (IP address block information).
Dwaniondwaodna has no obvious connection to the article subject, but the account has only ever edited this article since its creation on 5 March 2025. In 1278943747, in addition to removing material critical of the subject, the account also added unreferenced material promoting the subject.

I have restored information about removed content types 2-4, and improved citations - see diff between 1286397875 and 1287540493. I have kept information casting doubt on Miao's educational claims removed, as Miao does not currently make any claims about his education in recent biographies (such as https://web.archive.org/web/20220523083808/https://wilsonmiao.liberal.ca/biography/).

A reminder for editors who are closely connected to Miao, or Miao himself: you must follow the guidelines in Wikipedia:Conflict of interest when editing this page.

I have also noticed that some of the negative information about Miao that was added and removed lacked citations: a reminder to everyone, including those critical of the article subject, that we must take particular care on biographies of living persons to properly cite sources and write from a neutral point of view.

I have now also raised this issue on the talk pages of all the users listed above. Wysholp 🧊 (talk) 00:10, 27 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Editor2480, I have removed the content you added in 1289050105 and 1289146812. My comments above about a pattern of repeated deletions are not an invitation to add speculative content about the possible actions of Miao or his staff. Please familiarize yourself again with WP:BLP. Please also familiarize yourself with WP:COI, especially since you also have a pattern of having an account that has only ever edited this page, and only adding content critical of the subject.
