The section about Kenney's support for a bonus pension system is blatantly one-sided and critical. It reads like a (poorly written) polemic against him.— Precedingunsigned comment added by108.170.102.226 (talk)18:46, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Will there be a section about his recent response to the shooting of a Philadelphia police officer, specifically, his comment that the shooting had nothing to do with Islam, even though the suspected shooter himself has reportedly said otherwise?69.42.17.116 (talk)03:29, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Kenney's photo for his page is from 2009 and therefore outdated. Does he have an official portrait like other politicians, especially U.S. Representatives?Lasalleexplorer (talk)16:09, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think the statue removals is important, as it has a significance related to theremoval of Confederate monuments and memorials in the United States. Even thoughFrank Rizzo is in no way related to the Confederacy, this issue has been prevalent for a long time in Philadelphia.
Please discuss.
If you want to add or improve content, that is fine as long as it is relevant to the article subject and noteworthy enough for inclusion. It also needs to be cited to reliable sources. You should sign your comments using ~~~~ as well.–wallyfromdilbert (talk)07:17, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see how removal of the Frank Rizzo statue, the mural, and Columbus statue are not noteworthy. Nevertheless, I actually think the I-676 protests are moreso, but have been consistently removed (these protests were covered by the New York Times, among other reliable sources, and citations shared above). At present, there is only mention of one statue and no mention of protest response in the article. --Lasalleexplorer (talk)13:04, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If contentious information is being added into aWP:BLP, it should include reliable sourcing with it when it is added to the article. The statues had no sourcing, and when I looked online, it appeared that the decision to remove the mural and Columbus statue were not Kenney's decision. I'm not sure why the IP who started this conversation removed the source I found for the Rizzo statue removal. The I-676 protests are noteworthy in general, but I'm not seeing how they are relevant to Kenney's biography based on what was previously inserted into the article. The NYT source is a video report about the I-676 incident, and only mentions Kenney for a one sentence written policy statement. –wallyfromdilbert (talk)15:49, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Your points make sense. Why don't we leverage some of the writeup in theFrank Rizzo memorial section? Has many sources and quotes from Kenney regarding the statue and its removal, and is a little more "filled out" compared to the lone sentence we have now.Lasalleexplorer (talk)16:31, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Lasalleexplorer, I think that would be good. Something about Kenney's prior attitude towards the statue would give some helpful context, but I don't think using quotes is as useful as a neutral summary of the issue. I'm not sure if the picture is necessary either. What do you think? –wallyfromdilbert (talk)05:24, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
