Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

Overall, the viewpoints are pretty well presented. However, in "Contaminated buildings" and "Reaction", the viewpoints are underrepresented. In "Contaminated buildings," it just literally listed out the contaminated buildings without explaining the situation and data. In "Reaction", it didn't mention the responsible individuals and organizations after several investigations have been done. Cfl013 (talk) 03:48, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?

Most of the sources are from creditable organizations like South China Morning Post and government websites like www.info.gov.hk. However, There are a few biased sources there without being noted. Two of the sources, Apple Daily and Orientaldaily.on.cc are well known as opposing the "Pro-Establishment Camp." For example, in the thirty-first source,"林鄭被批鉛禍無究責道歉欠奉 – 東方日報" by orientaldaily.on.cc, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, a "Pro-Establishment Camp" politician is criticized.

I just read the three citations that you was referring to. They only contain facts and conversations (from Oriental Daily's interview with plumber, pro-establishment LegCo member's reply to Apply Daily and a LegCo special meeting), rather than any biased viewpoints. It seems these articles are neutral sources. akoo (talk) 16:58, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

The viewpoint, Palliative measures, is very underrepresented. The government did a lot more than the ones stated. Government departments like Transport and Housing Bureau, Water Supplies Department, Housing Department, have done several Palliative measures regarding to the incidents, but they are not mentioned at all.

Article title

This article was previously titled "Lead in Drinking Water Incidents". This was not compliant with WP:TITLE for the following reasons:

Precision – It suggests the article is about all incidents of lead in drinking water anywhere, at any time, but it isn't: it's about incidents in 2015 in Hong Kong.
Naturalness – Unless you lived in Hong Kong in 2015, you would not refer to this topic without reference to the time or place.
Capitalisation – Per WP:LOWERCASE, titles should be in sentence case.

The new title isn't especially elegant, so it's fine if consensus decides a different name is better, but it should at least address the above concerns. Hairy Dude (talk) 20:14, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Erroneous redirect

For some reason Lead in Drinking Water Incidents, which I presume was meant to be a list at some point, is now redirecting here, which I believe might be unintended. Any idea how to fix this or if the old article/list it used to reference can be recovered (assuming it existed in the first place)? 66.81.165.113 (talk) 00:20, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As the page says if you look at it, it was the previous title of this article, left automatically as a redirect when I did the move discussed in the previous section. Hairy Dude (talk) 15:37, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Hairy Dude: The page was moved (mainly) per WP:OFFICIALNAME (as in the government's official website). Secondary sources including this and this also supported the move under WP:COMMONNAME. Perhaps the title could be less ambiguous with Hong Kong bracketed, but the current title seems to be complicated and uncommon without independent sources. ~~ J. Dann 17:18, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And I also believed there is no list or table existed before my re-direct of the page. They are likely included under another similar title. ~~ J. Dann 17:21, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
