@springee deleted the section Nato. I find the argument wrong. Voting against Sweden and Finnland as a member of NATO is a significant vote and important information about Biggs’s political views. I would support to add it again FantinoFalco (talk) 04:44, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The issue is weight. We need two things to include this. First, it needs to be clearly part of a larger narrative. As inserted this comes off as a random factoid that an editor felt was important but isn't something that really is about Biggs himself. That gets to the second issue, NPOV/WEIGHT says that we need sources to say why this vote is significant in context of Biggs, not why the vote itself was significant. Earlier this year I opened a NPOVN discussion on the topic of when it's due to include how a politician voted on a bill. My read of that discussion is a clear consensus that we need articles talking about the BLP subject in ways other than just saying they voted for/against a particular bill.[1]Springee (talk) 12:36, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
