Describing MM as "left-wing" violates Wiki's NPOV policy

Latest comment: 6 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This article cites Wikipedia's article "Left-Wing Politics" in which the "wing" was added to political vernacular with disparaging intent. If the requirement of Wikipedia is to a provide neutral point of view, using the description of "left-wing" violates that, unless there were citations for Mr. Moore himself claiming to be left wing. The "Left-Wing Politics" article itself does not directly proport who is left wing, but addresses what types of movements, not people, may be associated with left-wing ideologies. Left-leaning is neutral language. 2601:5C4:4300:32D0:914A:F90E:3C93:571E (talk) 13:44, 11 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Many ultraconservative guys are described as right-wing, so I don't think there's anything wrong with calling Michael Moore left-wing. Chrizzy T Quizbowl (talk) 15:46, 18 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Moore#Work

The Academy-Award-winning Michael Moore may not have been involved with the 1998's documentary (short?) 'And Justice for All'. This is the only Moore-related work not to have a page on the English Wikipedia and the entry appears to solely have been added based on two sources: meetthefilmmakers.com may have misattributed the film to this Moore and documentary.org merely mentions the name.

Moore's biography 'Here Comes Trouble' makes no mention of the film. To my knowledge all Moore's works are reasonably accessible (excl. the VHS-only 'Pets or Meat') — available at least on DVD and/or streaming — whereas And Justice for All may not have been released on home video.

Note that Moore is a common surname, and Michael even more so as the first name. Burghmote (talk) 16:06, 16 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
