Jayron32 & @ Bali ultimate, etc.): The John McCain lobbyist controversy, February 2008|NYTimes-JMcCain-lobbyist affair or the Obama-Ayers controversy, for example, ''could'' well have been covered, in the first case, on some McCain-series article plus on wherever is the "NYTimes controversies" page and, in the second case, on some Obama-series page plus on Professor Ayers's BLP, but it just made more sense to treat the events of either controversy in one main place each -- that's the Wikiway. (a) ''Per , if reliable 2ndary sources cover a controversy, it merits coverage in Wikipedia, and if this would be more conveniently accomplished through having a distinct article on the topic, do so. (b) ''Per / and especially per NPOV's #A simple formulation (which reads, '''Assert facts, including facts about opinions—but do not assert the opinions themselves''', ''bolding in the original'') if notable commentators believe whatever issue -- ''eg'' the supposed "McCain lobbyist affair" or the supposed "Ayers issue" -- a hissy fit, the encylopedia might make note of or grant encyclopedic coverage to that opinion, nevertheless we cannot unilaterally endorse such an opinion
