::Interesting, thank you - yes, it seems to convey the point some of us have been trying to make about the frustrating editorial and possibly covering similar ground to that in the Quarterly reply referenced in the Talk page.

== The NPOV *badge of shame* has been hanging over the Douglas Murray page for *eight months* - far too long ==

The NPOV *badge of shame* has been hanging over Murray's page for *eight months*. I recommend having a look at some relevant sections of the ] page:

''{{tq2|'''This template should not be used as a badge of shame'''}} {{tq2|Do not use this template to "warn" readers about the article.}}''

More importantly, this set of instructions below.

{{tq2|<big>'''When to remove'''</big>

''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.}}

I think point 2: {{tq2|'''''It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given'''''}} is critical here. The only remaining debate on the talk page is an obscure argument challenging '''a single source''' (apparently on DUE grounds?) the removal of which would remove only one part of a footnote from a composite footnote which contains many others. The NPOV badge has been hanging over the page for '''*eight months*''', which is not conducive to keeping Wiki streamlined and professional. A wealth of academic, expert, and high-quality journalistic sources bolster the claim that Murray has ideological links with the far-right, plus white nationalism, ], and far-right conspiracies like ], the ] theory etc... I recommend reading a few of the scholarly sources and perhaps, and perhaps you'll understand why many experts have to this conclusion about Murray's links to the far right and other similar extreme ideologies. Super happy to discuss some details/questions about RS policy on my talk page if you feel like. Absent more substantive rebuttals please don't restore this material again. ] (]) 12:50, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
:(I think you inadvertently removed this reply in your latest edits so restoring it:)
: I disagree, there has never been consensus for any of the controversial points, as discussed ad nauseum. ] (]) 12:26, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
:: Well, I'm an academic and I thought these sources were very strong and comprehensive, and I'm astounded at how strongly some people attacked the sources. You obviously disagree strongly - for ''you'', what would it take to set things and for the "POV badge of shame" to be removed at last from the page? ] (]) 14:19, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
