message: I attempted to add a section to this stub article called "Political Views" with the following text:
	 	
"Du Brul is notable for incorporating right-wing themes into his novels. For example, in The Lightning Stones, climate change is revealed not to be the consequence of human-generated carbon emissions, but rather the result of a European billionaire exploiting an occult mineral to warm the planet so that his own clean energy companies can profit."
Another user, however, immediately deleted the entire section. I feel the addition of this section and information is appropriate. Many artists and authors have similar sections on their pages when their political views are notable. Furthermore, Du Brul's seem particularly worth mentioning as they've found their way into his novels. Multiple readers, as illustrated by the reader reviews posted at that Goodreads link, were surprised at the anti-climate-science content -- as well as harsh descriptions of the president and White House officials during the Obama administration -- within what was marketed as an adventure novel.
I could certainly imagine revising or rewording this proposed section, or incorporating more citations. I want to ensure that any mention of Du Brul's politics is itself politically neutral in accordance with Wikipedia standards. But it doesn't seem like an outright deletion was merited.SquidPebblePoliceman (talk) 00:51, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
