Talk:Lauren Boebert

Church Attendance is Vague

Lauren Boebert has allegedly been to Church once. Beyond that, is beyond me. If she goes weekly, we should add it. If she hasn’t been to church weekly for x amount of time it should be equally represented. Twillisjr (talk) 17:39, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whether she attends a church, a drinking establishment, or a public toilet is part of her private life. Why should we cover this in the article? Even trivia are more interesting than this. Dimadick (talk) 01:48, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article contains the word “church” exactly a dozen times with a section dedicated to the promotion of joining church and state. Twillisjr (talk) 11:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is WP:NOTFORUM. Are you proposing a change, addition, or redaction? Can you be specific? Be WP:BOLD and make the change! Kcmastrpc (talk) 12:05, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Political positions - Veterans

I noticed a section added in political positions for veterans, but it only mentioned how she voted on two bills. This seemed cherry picked, so I removed it. Two of the citation were WP:PRIMARY to her voting record and the other did not mention her. This is not the way to present any politician's stance. Find a secondary source that evaluates her voting patterns or quote her from her website. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 06:18, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree with you. Huge pet peeve of mine when people just add links to roll call votes without any independent coverage. Marquardtika (talk) 16:58, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also agree this is a problem. Even if we have an article that says X bill is good/bad then lists the people who voted for/against I don't think that should be in a BLP unless the source specifically says the BLP subject was say involved in crafting the bill etc. Sadly this is a very common thing on Wikipedia and it seems to be something done when an editor wants to make it clear that some list of politicians were against/for some bill in a way to suggest only bad politicians would have voted that way. I see the same basic content was added to several BLPs. Springee (talk) 18:12, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Application of labels to living people who do not refer to themselves as such

This article describes Boebert as far-right in the opening few paragraphs, and immediately qualifies that assertion by saying that she rejects the label. When it comes to political beliefs, ought not a persons self-identification take precedence over labels or adjectives that they reject? It seems strange that on wikipedia, a person's self-identification trumps all other evidence over if they are male or female or some other category, e.g. wikipedia will refer to males as "she" if they self-identify as such, however with regards to political ideology, self-identification is disregarded, it would appear especially when the adjective/label carries a certain pejorative connotation.203.206.84.45 (talk) 16:01, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re "far right" designation: Reliable independent sources prevail here, and Boebert would be classified as a (definitely) non-independent source. —RCraig09 (talk) 16:10, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
