Talk:Richard Spencer

Richard B. Spencer

There appears to be a POV issue with Etherialemperor's editing. They insist that we call Spencer a white nationalist, despite his BLP calling him a white supremacist in the first sentence. To call him a white nationalist and mismatch what the BLP says seems highly POV. Moreover, the user is calling reverts "bad faith". EvergreenFir (talk) 05:44, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Well both a hilariously biased.Etherialemperor (talk) 05:46, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

This issue has come up over and over again at Talk:Richard B. Spencer and the consensus is to call him a white supremacist. So I agree with EvergreenFir that we should call him that here as well.

I don't like Richard B Spencer, but I think he's more of a white nationalist than a supremacist. He may be both, but he's more known for white nationalism. Wikipedia is for facts, not popular opinion. Alex of Canada (talk) 18:37, 30 October 2017 (UTC) Alex of Canada

If you want to discuss and/or change the consensus for how we describe Richard Spencer, the place to do that would be the biography's talk page. There exists longstanding consensus to describe him as a white supremacist, based upon the reliable sources. "Supremacist" is no more or less an opinion than "nationalist."

 Not done Reliable sources cited for the description; no valid reason cited for removing it. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 21:53, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

 Done. It's more reasonable here. There's some contention at the main article about sourcing, whereas simply "white supremacist" seems to be much less contentious. Considering this is a dab page, there's no need to go for the most inflammatory identification possible. The latter is easily enough to make sure you know whom you're getting. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 21:59, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

I disagree; it's well-established. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 22:52, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
