I notice two separate editors references to a negative story (100 hours working time) that has received significant news coverage in relation to Dr Dan Poulter have now been rapidly removed from this page. I'm worried this is affecting the 'Neutral Point of View' position of this article, particularly as the negative story has been reported in multiple sources. (eg New Statesman / HSJ). Also, on both occasions, the edits have left a very promotional quote as the final comment on the article, which should equally be deleted if we are avoiding personal discussion as part of this biography stub.
Would there be any way the editor who has removed the reference both times be happy for this reference to be included, and does anyone else think it should be included? - eg an expanded section with the reference from the Hansard, and Dr Poulter's subsequent response. I didn't include this detail, as I thought it would change the weight of the article and over focus on it. Happy to add an extended comment with referenced quotes from both points of view on the issue.

Perhaps surprising that this article has no "Personal life" section? His wife is apparently Hilary Evans, CEO of Alzheimer's Research UK. But the only source I can find is from 2014 in the Daily Mail, which we can't use. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:43, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
