There appears to have been some serious whitewashing with this article that needs to be addressed, as it now reads purely as a list of promotional items. We do need to be mindful of BLP concerns, but for example the source used to discuss his resignation, Netanyahu spokesman resigns in aftermath of sexual misconduct allegations was described in the article as leaving "to pursue opportunities in the private sector." The article is also heavily weighted to be mostly positive quotes and descriptions of his achievements.--Yaksar(let's chat) 17:16, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, the bigger BLP issues may come in the opposite direction here, as this genuinely reads like it was written by his PR team to recast the subject in the wake of controversy, but is completely inconsistent with coverage in reliable sources.--Yaksar(let's chat) 17:20, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I may leave this for someone more skilled at this editing than I am. While I've tried to address some of the most egregious whitewashing and make the page more consistent with reliable sources, it does still largely read like a resume of positive achievements, with the controversy section basically structured to read as a defense of the subject rather than a neutral reporting of sources.--Yaksar(let's chat) 17:55, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your concerns are legitimate, especially your comment regarding the summary of the source used to discuss his resignation. I had removed the neutrality banner from the top of the article because I thought the article was balanced, due to your edits as well as the fact that the Controversy section is quite lengthy. It could be, due to BLP concerns, that the Controversy section has undue weight. The Stephens quote sounds like it belongs in a tabloid; it is an ad hominem attack. Separately, I would summarize anonymous accusations rather than present them exactly as they appear in the source. It's possible that balance could be added to the Human Rights Section if I can find well-sourced criticism of Keyes' human rights work. Felizaday (talk) 18:54, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Stephens quote is a former employer providing an explanation for a noteworthy piece of the story, which is cited by multiple reliable sources. We don't need to say it's right, and we should give it in the proper context, but we don't need to hide the reason given for why he was banned from the WSJ office because it sounds too mean.--Yaksar(let's chat) 22:47, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
