Robert Seely → Bob Seely – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Bob Seely is the name used on his official website and Parliamentary profile. It is also the name overwhelmingly favoured in reliable sources, with practically no coverage for "Robert Seely". AusLondonder (talk) 01:41, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
Way too much information in this article has been sourced from the MP’s own blog, which is clearly not an NPOV RS, and suggests editing with POV in mind. I have removed the citation and related material, and would ask that future edits confirm with normal WP standards in terms of VERIFIABILITY and NPOV. MapReader (talk) 18:21, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
In the most recent edit, the following paragraph has been removed:
“The Bill was considered controversial in media reports, in part due to the perceived restrictions it would place on protests and protestors. Seely was subsequently criticised on social media and in local media coverage reference was made to his support for the Bill in light of his track-record in supporting protests in Hong Kong concerning the Chinese government.”
I believe this to be an inappropriate edit, as it provides context to the relevant section (activities in Parliament).
If absolutely necessary, it is possible to update with an appropriate reference, rather than remove the section in question.
There is documented evidence to support the deleted section, including external references to the criticism of Bob Seely as mentioned. Chausettes (talk) 17:41, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
A revision has been made which removes relevant details (subject’s girlfriend being a local journalist who joined him at a barbecue). I think the change should be reverted, but happy to engage in a discussion about it, or what format it should take if it is re-included. Thoughts please!

I watch this page, and there have been edits in the past that raise concerns about NPOV and neutrality. But I don’t think that removing non-notable information about his girlfriend qualifies as such. MapReader (talk) 18:42, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for that MapReader - I wasn’t sure (hence I didn’t just revert). Chausettes (talk) 21:25, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
The detail and depth of content on this article is quite in depth compared to equally prominent politicians.
Looking at the edits, it looks like a lot of edits come from a small selection of users with all users showing a lot of the indicators of WP:SOSP. The below account all indicate WP:REPEATING, WP:XS, WP:PREC, WP:IDART, WP:CONNECTION, WP:CHRONOSOCK, WP:OCUSE, WP:BRIEFLY.
I would suggest contributions from the below accounts be treated with extra attention.
