Template:Political POV

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

When to use

Place this template on articles where you have identified a serious issue of balance and the lack of a WP:Neutral point of view in regards to political parties, politicians, events or governments, and you wish to attract editors with different viewpoints to the article.

An unbalanced or non-neutral article is one that does not fairly represent the balance of perspectives of high-quality, reliable secondary sources. A balanced article presents mainstream views as being mainstream, and minority views as being minority views. The personal views of Wikipedia editors or the public are irrelevant.

When to remove

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. You may remove this template whenever any one of the following is true:

1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved.
2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given.
3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.
