Portions of this article do not represent a neutral viewpoint.

Some of the content of the article does not cross the threshold of notability. In fact it reads more like a website bio or (dare I say it) a small-town obit. Let's trim it. -- Rob C (Alarob) 21:00, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heck, it looks like a verbitim copy of his bio from his law firm's web site. See http://www.beasleyallen.com/attorney/jere-beasley/ 69.180.197.28 (talk) 02:08, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Governor??

Removed Governor of Alabama succession box. Beasley was never Alabama Governor, just Lieutenant Governor filling in as Acting Governor (there's a difference). GoodDay 19:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits

Several recent edits were undone by another user claiming they did not add to the page. I have reverted back to the previous version. The edits are to fix several issues with the page including that the biography appeared more as a resume rather than a biography of a living person and needed neutrality. Also, the user incorrectly linked items in the article, namely Jefferson County, Alabama to Jefferson County, Texas as well as the spelling of Beasley's middle name.

It was using primary sources and unreliable sources for a WP:BLP. Adding links were done wrong and it was very promotional sounding. Please read the above link about editing a biography of a living person before editing again. The page has a lot of issues already and this addition did not help matters.

I have read through it already and I am working to address the errors on this page. Instead of just undoing the work, could you make suggestions? The links were added per wiki guidelines and the sources fit under wiki's sourcing guidelines. Unfortunately, we will need to agree to disagree on "promotional sounding."
