The following articles were created by User:Rupert loup. They should be checked for neutrality, and in some cases to determine whether they should exist at all.

There are many many more examples as also noted by many other users over time. (See [1] among many examples) There have been many edit-warring by this user with other users in many of these and other articles (the article list is incomplete, there are many, many more that could be added to this list.) There are many many more examples as also noted by many other users over time that many others have noted the bias. I and others have noted they are not notable or quotable (many of these persons don't even have a wikipedia page), I am not for their censorship and believe they should stay and not be deleted. Typically, they are excerpts from random op-eds or random sociological opinion pieces on random websites, in which quotes are selected [2]because a word appears in the text and that word has a WQ page. (This last example was reverted by the same user, but it is quite typical). I have also for example said about some of these articles: "IMHO, they (and similar ones) don't meet Quotability, especially in high level articles about a global and theoretical concept like this... But I can accept this, since I am not a deletionist or someone who likes to censor other opinions. I only wish others would also respect properly sourced quotes that pertain to the page's topic and not remove them even if they go against one's own views or for whatever "reason"." But I have accepted, as I wrote above I am not a deletionist or someone who likes to censor other opinions. Other users too have noted the bias in these and many many other articles of this type. There are many many more examples relating to many other socio/political disputations and polemics that I and many others have noted the bias. Also recently an editor said where one of these articles (New York Daily News) was explicitly mentioned by Slywriter as biased.

As a typical example, the article Legitimacy (political), which is a global and theoretical concept, consists of a single quote by a non-notable person who has no wikipedia article and the quote is inflammatory, i.e. biased against the Indian government and Indian prime minister. against the elected Indian government in the largest democracy in the world. Similar examples are False equivalence and Political narrative [3] among many others.
