Robert Kenyon is a candidate (and one of two likely to succeed based on polling and analysis) in the 2026 Makerfield by-election. The by-election is a major event as it has implications on whom the next UK prime minister/s might be. Therefore, having good coverage of the candidate is in the interest of the public and Wikipedia readers. For now, I'd like to please ask specifically for feedback on how to improve the article to B-class standard. Thank you!

- Hi @13tez, I think the article on the by-election is in good shape in the near aftermath. It is well-sourced, claims are properly cited and there don't seem to be any thumbs on any scales in terms of NPOV that I can see. I don't know that it will be complete until the Labour leadership fight ends, but pretty solid state now.
- On Kenyon specifically: I think given his loss (and his relatively private stature in the heretofore), the three grafs about his candidacy (and the subsequent mentions) sum it up pretty well. I think he meets the basic standard for notability should someone decide to branch off an article about him, but it could be a WP:BLP1E situation depending on his future path. It'd also be a bit of a BLP minefield, but manageable.
- To improve the article, I would tidy some things up. There are some single-sentence paragraphs that could be absorbed, there are a lot of single-word quotes that might be better as paraphrases, and some of the subsections are a bit short (i.e. if the only thing to say about the Lib Dem candidate in "Campaign" is that they campaigned on cost of living, the environment, etc. then it could prob be consolidated with other candidates—if not, it could also be built out a little bit).Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 23:38, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
Removal of comments from Molyneux
Hi @DeFacto,
Regarding your removal of "though another councillor said this claim was hypocritical, citing numerous allegations of tax avoidance within Reform UK", please could you tell me if you think it's supported by the following text from the reference used?
But Coun Paul Molyneux, member for Worsley Mesnes, responded: “Reform is a party built and bankrolled by tax dodgers, so this is a bit rich.
"Nigel Farage accepted a £5m donation from a crypto-investor based in Thailand, without paying a penny of tax, yet Reform want to lecture everyone else about public money and ordinary taxpayers.
"This kind of hypocrisy won’t wash in Wigan.
"Wiganers care about decent jobs, safer streets, affordable homes, reliable public transport and an NHS that works — not Reform trying to stir up outrage for another headline.
"Reform’s whole strategy is to point the finger at everyone else because they’ve got no real answers for working people.
"But Wiganers won’t be taken for fools.”
Please note BRD is an optional essay when not enforced, but I don't want to edit war regardless. Thanks! 13tez (talk) 22:05, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
The Blood Waltz
Kenyon wrote a novel called "The Blood Waltz", though I can't find any independent, reliable sources to substantiate it. The back cover visible on Amazon makes it clear it's the same person, but it's not an ideal source. Can anyone find a better one?
