Cédric Wermuth

... that Cédric Wermuth (pictured) was sentenced for taking part in a squat, before he and Mattea Meyer jointly assumed the Co-Presidency of the Social Democratic Party of Switzerland? Source: [1], [2] and [3]
ALT0b... ... that the co-president of the Swiss Social Democrats, Cédric Wermuth (pictured), was once fined for squatting?

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing:
Neutral: - Sentences like Environmental issues are important to Wermuth and he tries to reflect his beliefs in his actions., Wermuth is known for arguing passionately but still making the effort to reach across the aisle., and He values working with many difference personalities and ideologies. raise concern for me. For He acknowledges that jobs traditionally..., see MOS:WTW; "acknowledges" is not neutral as it presumes the truth of the statement. For He wanted to be a househusband after the birth of their first daughter in 2015 so Anja could return to work., was he actually a househusband or was that just something he expressed a desire to be? If he was, say that directly; if not, remove the sentence as undue as it's just him trying to bolster his feminist credentials.
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
Other problems: - "Sentenced" isn't particularly clear; I would change to "fined" (or if the sentencing aspect is really important, "sentenced to a fine"). For conciseness, I don't think we need to mention the co-president; I would suggest rephrasing to ALT0b: ... that the co-president of the Swiss Social Democrats, Cédric Wermuth, was once fined for squatting?

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Overall, this is mostly good, but it needs edits to address neutrality concerns, and let me know if ALT0b is okay. I reviewed File:Cédric Wermuth.jpg as the image; feel free to add that as an image if you'd like (it's nice technical quality, albeit not a draw by itself). Sources accepted AGF since they're non-English. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 17:46, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, as a quick note, I don't believe the proposed hook would violate the rule about unduly negative hooks for BLPs, since the squat was an intentional political act and is part of his political image, not some black mark in his record. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 18:43, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I also didn't mean it as a black mark DYK, but more of a DYK to show that squatting is not seen as a black mark but as a sign of the correct way to protest by the majority of major Swiss political party. I am still working on the neutrality issues Sdkb pointed out.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 23:00, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I've addressed most if not all the neutrality issues raised and added more content on party functions elections and high-school. Alt0b is alright for me.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 00:23, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seems good enough.

for alt0b. Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 00:47, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
