Ballotpedia:NPOV dispute

This page is about a proposed guideline or policy.

Articles that have been linked to this page are the subject of an NPOV dispute (NPOV stands for neutral point of view; see below). This means that in the opinion of the person who added this link, the article in question represents a conflict of interest or does not conform to Neutral point of view (currently as defined by Wikipedia).

Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Ballotpedia:Conflict of interest policies. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort.

An NPOV (neutral, unbiased) article is an article that complies with neutral point of view by presenting fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without bias all significant views that have been published by reliable sources. This includes comments or statements that may represent a conflict of interest.
