Laundry list.
For general conversation: this edit [1] caught my attention and I've removed the content. (it reads a bit like someone did a Google news search for 'Luton and terrorism' and then entered all the articles. Opinions will probably differ, but I thought it was very much WP:undue. Would appreciate any second opinions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joereddington (talk • contribs) 15:14, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for starting this discussion, I was going to say something similar myself. I agree it looks like an anti-islam rant, and that seems possible given the regular edits from fans of a certain infamous far right Lutonian. That and the negative attention Luton sadly gets due to its demographics and history makes me wary. On the other hand, User:Yaakovaryeh said it "included content originally added by an admin in 2011", but I haven't looked into it enough.
- Regardless of where it came from, I was planning on putting that content into an "Extremism" subsubsection, trim it a lot by removing the repetition and less notable parts, and try to add some sentences providing some opposing views of the community in Luton to provide some balance. A sort of compromise, but maybe it's not appropriate at all and I was just glad to have some more content, which would probably be better coming from the other sections I'm planning on adding to. I'll have a read of some other similar UK town articles to compare what they do. -- odg (talk) 23:27, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
- Agreed. The majority does not belong here. The original part I was referring to is here [2] which I think does belong. Perhaps some of the other stuff should go to Terrorism in the United Kingdom &/ Islamism in the United Kingdom? Yaakovaryeh (talk) 02:39, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
