NPOV 5 April 2023 - in About Corbyn section[edit]

All the quotes in the About Cornyn section refer to antisemitism This seems proportionally excessive. -- DeirgeDel tac 19:40, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Added quotes relating to Corbyn's response to the Skripal poisonings. Positive quotes about Corbyn in the strongest sources are likely to be scarce. Philip Cross (talk) 21:09, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This section still reads, at least as quick perusal, as it might be a disparagement of Jeremy Corbyn. If that is the case it violates policy Wikiquote:Quotes by living persons. -- DeirgeDel tac 04:47, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's also missing some quotes that used to be there, such as Jeremy Corbyn's quotes on the second Chechen war. 129.234.0.171 23:10, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Checking through edits since August 2015, when the article was created, I cannot locate these deleted quotes. The second Chechen War (1999–2009) dates from the period when Corbyn was a backbencher, so of somewhat lesser importance than the period from 2015, which is when he becomes more notable. As it stands, the article is dominated by quotes from the decades when Corbyn was a minor politician. The deleted quotes cannot have been in the article for very long, which can be considered a reason for their removal to have been legitimate. Any quotes which might seem to disparage Jeremy Corbyn are properly sourced and form only a minor part of this article. Philip Cross (talk) 06:42, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
