Why is there no Controversy section on her signing bombs?

There is no way to justify there being no Controversy section on her page when (Redacted). AeonQuark (talk) 17:43, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

How about WP:CONTROVERSYSECTION? If you want to propose an edit, suggest WP:NPOV text (ie., not a WP:BLP violation like what you wrote above) using WP:RS. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:59, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

In "Interactions with Trump" section, before "In March 2024....", please insert:

In January 2024, she warned, "If Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee, we will get a President Kamala Harris." Citation: Michael Katz (January 29, 2024), Nikki Haley to Newsmax: Much Time Left to Gain on Trump, Newsmax.

I guess Haley knew before most of us who the Dems would nominate. Thanks. 2602:243:2008:8BB0:F494:276C:D59A:C992 (talk) 06:24, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Not done for now: Sorry, but that is not a reliable source; please see WP:NEWSMAX. If you can provide a better source that covers this information, feel free to re-activate this request. Left guide (talk) 07:58, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Deletion of irrelevant, unprovable aside.

edit

I have deleted the following sentence from this entry, as it implies or insinuates a motive for Nikki Haley's resignation as UN Ambassador that is wholly unprovable. Quote:

"Her resignation was announced one day after Trump appeared at a political rally in Mississippi and mocked Christine Blasey Ford, who had accused Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault."

To this sentence is appended a reference citing The Guardian (UK). However, the Guardian article itself quite specifically states: "there is no evidence Trump’s derision of Ford was the immediate trigger for [Haley's] decision."

Correlation is not causation. There is zero evidence (here or elsewhere) that Haley's resignation was related in any way to the Christine Blasey Ford flap. That is merely speculation.

Indeed, to the degree that motive is a valid topic in a Wikipedia article, there are other theories out there that are equally or more believable: e.g., that Haley chose to resign owing to insurmountable conflicts with John Bolton, whom Trump had recently appointed as his National Security Advisor; or, that Haley decided to resign after two years for personal and/or financial reasons, i.e., to make some money in the private sector or to gear up to challenge Trump in the 2024 presidential primaries.

However, these notions, too, are simply speculation, and as such they have no business in a biographical article that seeks to adhere to the facts as known.
