The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute. When updating the article, be bold, but not reckless. Feel free to try to improve the article, but don't take it personally if your changes are reversed; instead, come here to the talk page to discuss them. Content must be written from a neutral point of view. Include citations when adding content and consider tagging or removing unsourced information.

This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Yair Rosenberg (10 January 2018). "How Some Wikipedia Editors Tried—and Failed—To Erase The UK Labour Party's Anti-Semitism Problem". Tablet. Archived from the original on 22 March 2018. Retrieved 22 March 2018. Indeed, tellingly, the word "anti-Semitism" does not appear on Jeremy Corbyn's own extensive Wikipedia page, despite the fact that it has been a defining issue of his leadership tenure.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

Spy allegations.

Hello. Could we maybe add something about the spy allegations? The pressure is mounting up on him and he is not releasing the Stasi file, so it's surprising that it is not here yet. There has to be a way to write it non-biased. The casual reader will go to Wikipedia to get the information on the spy allegations. However, it is not there, so it will be useful to the casual reader. Thanks.

Look at the above section. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:42, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This was discussed above at Talk:Jeremy Corbyn#Meeting with Czech spy, also look at this [1]. -- Tobby72 (talk) 11:18, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How does this article not put more WP:WEIGHT on his anti-Semitic statements and actions?

I saw this article today: https://www.timesofisrael.com/before-elected-labour-leader-corbyn-was-part-of-an-anti-semitic-facebook-group/

I thought it was pretty interesting and came here to put it in the article. To my shock, I didn’t see a clear section? How is this possiable? This is one of the more notable points about him. honestly, I was pretty shocked not to see it in the lede. Casprings (talk) 23:43, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Probably because of WP:NOTNEWS? G-13114 (talk) 23:53, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He has a long history of this stuff that has been reported by WP:RSes. Moreover, WP:NOTNEWS clearly allows one to include something like the article discussed. There should be more WP:WEIGHT in the article.Casprings (talk) 00:11, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also look at Antisemitism in the Labour Party, where more detail could be appropriate. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 11:54, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that, but I think it needs more WP:WEIGHT in this article. I would suggest we develop a section with a paragragh or so. The history is well known, it is reported by WP:RS, and it is WP:N.Casprings (talk) 12:25, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Are you on about his history of statements and actions construed as anti-Semitic or just the Facebook group? The Facebook group would probably only warrant a sentence or two in this article. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 12:28, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

History. Of course the facebook thing would be one ir two sentence. That said, this is another thing in a long history, which isn't part of the article.Casprings (talk) 12:51, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the misleading headline, the source you provided does not accuse Corbyn of any anti-Semitic statements or actions. TFD (talk) 13:21, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Joining an anti-Semitic facebook group is an action. Thats what he did, per muliple WP:RSes.Casprings (talk) 14:10, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Emir of Wikipedia: I would not take anything the (Personal attack removed) Rosenberg writes seriously or lend any credence to him, given his apologetics for a shameful exhibition in what-aboutery by Jake Tapper. CaradhrasAiguo (talk) 16:07, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well does he not raise a good point as indicated by this section. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 16:10, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is just the typical whitewashing of anti-Semites by leftist and Muslim-controlled Wikipedia. Funny how Wikipedia has an entire article devoted to smearing President Trump with fake racism claims cited to far-left media, yet censors all relevant information about the Arab terrorist-loving commie Corbyn. Just goes to show you who really controls Wikipedia. "Free encyclopedia anyone can edit" is a lie.
