Talk:Lucy Allan (politician)

Out of context sentence - more clarification needed

In the section Political Career appears this out-of-context sentence:

Two and a half years later, Wandsworth Council concluded that Allan's son had not been at risk, and had been 'happy, safe and well'.

It makes no sense without background to the case and dates. I recall this case being aired on radio news but have nothing in print I could use. It seems it may have been part of a longer series of sentences but the others got removed either by accident or vandalism.Cloptonson (talk) 05:52, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

I removed the rewrite tag as most of the article is OK, but this point does seem to be missing something as you say. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:31, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Fabricated Email

Ms Allan Fabricated an email from one of her constituents and placing it on her Facebook page. She removed the post after the constituent. protested the change from , 'In which case there is no hope.Think about it Yeah?. to In which case there is no hope. Unless you die.

Don't want to edit anything / overstep any mark. But this section implies that it's all an allegation and not a fact, and bizarrely references that the constituent used a pseudonym. It just seems like someone has edited this to shift focus from what the story is actually about. There are more details here which confirm that she lied: http://evolvepolitics.com/tory-mp-should-resign-after-faking-death-threat-email-from-constituent/ 77.98.43.254 (talk) 15:50, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

What we have is a clear case that she catenated at least two emails without initially noting that fact, and after the writer of one of the emails complained, noting that he had not written he problematic part, she said she had done so. We do not have a source saying that the other email involved did not have those words, so saying "fake" in Wikipedia's voice is not borne out by sources - only that she had, indeed, catenated posts. And there is no value in using Wikipedia to fight political campaigns, in my opinion. Collect (talk) 15:01, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

might be helpful to anyone wanting to make this political fraud clearer.

Well, what we have is that she said she received another email and combined them... Nomoskedasticity (talk) 16:18, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

There's a difference between "not noting" and an accusation. She prefaced the death threat with "this [singular] is from Rusty from Dawley". The sources don't present the controversy as a slip-up or a faux pas, but focus on accusations of fakery. Blackguard 17:32, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

I chose the word fabricated rather than faked for a reason. I would like to see it used.

That you desire to make use of "fabricated" and have edited the section to make absolutely sure readers know how evil she is, does not mean your edit comports with WP:BLP. The prior version was both neutral and accurate, and I ask you to revert your modifications which are decidedly and (apparently) deliberately violative of policy. Cheers.

Descended from ...

The Shropshire Star used the words "descended from a radical socialist Suffragette, Janie Allan", but do they mean "related to", or "descended from the grandfather of the radical socialist Suffragette, Janie Allan". Does anyone know the exact connection? Dbfirs 07:54, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

I've googled for other online sources, and failed to find anything. I used "descended from" as those were the words the source used, but further googling "Janie Allan" I cannot find any reference to her having children (or her private life in general). I have no objection to the wider-term "related to" being used if you think this would be better given the single source. Rwendland (talk) 10:12, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

I suspect that the reporter misunderstood, and that Lucy is actually descended from a brother or uncle, but it would be good to find the exact connection. Like you, I've drawn a blank. Dbfirs 14:09, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

The result of each nomination representing this type of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC proposal must be considered as a WP:LOCALCONSENSUS.    Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 12:56, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

That was a bad move. But not as bad as this would be In ictu oculi (talk) 22:41, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose common name, non-notable outside UK, minimally notable even in UK, classic no primary In ictu oculi (talk) 22:41, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose This is a common name, with several articles having the same or similar title. This politician is not widely known, and the viewing figures presented by the nom show that on several occasions in 2016 page views for the producer substantially outnumbered the politician (390-28 on one day).

• Oppose Per Opposes above - non-notable outside UK (at least at present), common name, etc. Shearonink (talk) 07:04, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
