Puppy mill dispute

IPs (including one from US Congress) seem to be adding and removing a section about a puppy mill owned by the article's subject's mother. I'm guessing both the adding and removing editors have conflicts of interest. I'd never heard of this politician before, so I don't know how relevant this information is. Should there be a controversies section for it? wizzwizz4 (talk) 16:04, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The only controversy seems to be editors who don't want this matter of public record on the page. The text is objective and free of biased language. - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 16:06, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have just declined protection at WP:RFPP. Please be aware that this is a WP:BLP where there would need to be a very good reason to coat-rack problems related to the politician's mother. Editors adding BLP-violating material will be blocked unless an WP:RFC or a discussion at WP:BLPN shows consensus to include this material. Johnuniq (talk) 08:34, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
