Education[edit]

I could find no credible evidence that Steenhuizen has ever claimed to have a post-secondary qualification, or that he has ever held any position that requires any such qualification. I have removed the obvious straw-man claim of such a qualification based on a clearly unreliable "biography" page. Wikipedia reports facts, we do not participate in manufacturing controversies.

IP additions on lack of tertiary education[edit]

I see another IP editor has added that Steenhuisen has been criticised for not having any post-matric qualifications. I don't know to exactly approach this topic. Should it be mentioned that he has come under scrutiny for not having tertiary qualifications? Would it not be a violation WP:NPOV? I mean on Zuma's article there is no mention that he has been criticised for not receiving any formal schooling. Also, multiple British politicians have been criticised by internet trolls for attending Eton College and nowhere in their articles have it been mentioned that they have come under scrutiny for attending Eton. Your thoughts on this, Dodger67, since you are an admin and have far more experience on situations like these. Best, Lefcentreright Discuss 14:51, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
