Talk:Michael Gove

message: Should we add something about the subject of this article being criticised for owning and displaying a book by a holocaust denier?

replies: text: I don't think so, it doesn't seem noteworthy enough and hasn't received enough coverage to make it into this article. Bellowhead678 (talk) 17:46, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  What's the threshold for "enough coverage" in this case? It seems to have been in quite a few British National Newspapers and magazines. 80.47.148.59 (talk) 19:38, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Since we've not identified a threshold for "enough coverage" and noteworthyness I'll readd it on the basis that similar parts of the page such as the cocaine controversy  had a similar level of coverage and were similarly noteworthy. If anyone disagrees I'm happy to discuss why the threshold for number and quality of sources for this should be higher than for similar parts of the same page 80.47.148.59 (talk) 17:35, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

text: I say we should. It's been covered by reliable sources and it's definitely important. Holocaust denial is a serious matter, and shouldn't simply be brushed under the carpet. 46.97.170.78 (talk) 20:44, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

text: There's been coverage in the Telegraph, New European, Independent, Spectator, Evening Standard, so I think we have enough reliable sources. Andysmith248 (talk) 20:06, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  The current version feels lackluster. The section should be called bookcase controversy, and the sort of criticism he received should be presented with greater detail. 46.97.170.78 (talk) 08:39, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

message: Gove's record is covered in the podcast  The Trojan Horse Affair, particularly Episodes 4 and 5. May be useful material for the article there? Rankersbo (talk) 13:25, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

message: It seems to be common practice to add secondary school or college for this parameter. But if you look at :Template:Infobox person it actually says: "?? Martinevans123 (talk) 19:14, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

message: I think you will find that Michael Gove went to Robert Gordon School and not Robert Gordon College. 92.10.224.227 (talk) 11:36, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you quote a source? This BBC news page quotes Gove as saying, "When I look back at the 15-year-old I was, lurking at the back of your French class at Robert Gordon's College in Aberdeen, I cringe." Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 12:19, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
