I think it is too early to have the harden up section as it is a recent claim. Only a few eye-witnesses have given an account of the events and I think it is premature to add this to the page. Especially bearing in mind that there are conflicting accounts of the event. Seymour and another politician on the panel have stated that his comments are out of context whereas others say that is what he meant. ^[1] 219.89.9.105 (talk) 04:20, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request for section regarding criticism by Mental Health Foundation and Seymours standing by his words

Seymour stands by his words, so should have no problem with this being included. I.e. he doesn't deny what was written, and rather endorses & stands by it. So I assume there will be no challenge to adding these facts, with the relevant sources, to the page. I did not read the comments and I don't have any judgment or conflict of interest, I know very little about Seymour, and the one thing I know about previous Act leaders I thought sounded positive (I.e. John Banks helping to end animal abuse in Auckland region). That being said, both sides of the debate (MHF and Seymour) accept that the statements were made, and Seymour himself is happy to stand by them. Here are the sources: https://www.mentalhealth.org.nz/home/news/article/210/media-advisory-mhf-appalled-by-mp-david-seymours-letter-to-constituents and https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/104102224/david-seymour-slammed-for-letter-saying-social-housing-tenants-may-have-mental-health-issues — Preceding unsigned comment added by CanisLupisArctus (talk • contribs) 09:22, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seymour's electoral history?

May it could be usefull to create separate article section about Seymour's electoral history in constituencies where he stood to be elected? I think tahts aprropirate according to the fact that so much less known act politician Stephen Berry has his own electoral history section in the article describing himself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.182.197.253 (talk) 22:54, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Latest entry on sabotage of Māori vaccinations

The information is mostly correct except for the assertion that Seymour’s intentions were racist. This is Bias as Seymour’s intentions were that no one should receive special treatment based on race. That part is political opinion KingDougtheSecond (talk) 08:54, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Assertions per source. More interesting is Seymour not knowing (for years) how to correctly complete the register of pecuniary interests.^[1]

Another matter: I am unsure about one line - "Seymour's support base is mostly comprised of wealthy European New Zealanders." While I could find a source for 'wealthy', I could not find a source for the ethnicity statement. I propose removing it. Te Karere (talk) 12:56, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Remove content without a reliable source. Schwede 66 18:21, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Te Karere (talk) 18:51, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The existence of the code that is designed to prioritize a specific race over others is literally the definition of racism. Regardless, the claim that Maori population is less vaccinated (against COVID-19) due to systemic racism is factually incorrect and unsurprisingly the source is low quality as it references an non peer reviewed study with no links to the actual study (nor any sampling size/methodology etc). While it's reasonable to argue that Maori health outcomes are generally worse than other races which has actual data backing that up it's irresponsible to claim it is the specific cause for low vaccination uptake in this case especially when access to vaccine is unrestricted and specific initiatives have been put in place for Maori by regional public health units. Propose this sentence be modified to either link to a better source or removing 'due to systematic racism' so it's factually correct.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.12.137 (talk • contribs) 3:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Seems totally inappropriate to have this segment without mentioning he is a Maori Leader? Just like many others who have shared similar-ish info. Mathmo ^Talk 11:51, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi newcomers to this section of the article. Please note: we are observing WP:NPOV and we love WP:V. That means edits should be sourced and accurately reflect that source. This article also falls under WP:BLP. We will delete contentious information (which is pretty much this whole section) if it is unsourced or poorly sourced. Aim for an inline citation with each new sentence to improve the chances of your edit being maintained. Please don't delete simply because you see evidence elsewhere - add a sentence and citation with that evidence to the article instead! This is how we grow Wikipedia.
