Looking at this closer, this article has some serious distortions. The section heading on this topic suggest that he identifies with a movement he doesn't identify with. Also, someone has attributed the following quote to him — "I think Curtis Yarvin’s monarchy ideas are bonkers, but you know what? He’s absolutely on to something real with his concept of the Cathedral" but it is not Vance who has said that. There's a bit of cleaning up to do in this piece. Am suddenly very aware of the direction we're given in WP:BLPSTYLE "Do not label people with contentious labels, loaded language, or terms that lack precision, unless a person is commonly described that way in reliable sources." Before this subject is given any labels, we must ensure they have not been derived simply from the company the person kept at some point in the past; moreover, before the subject is given a label, I believe we would all need to be convinced that he has been "commonly described" as such, not once off in an opinion piece, by a critic, many years ago.MatthewDalhousie (talk) 02:38, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the sections in the article quote extensively from Vance himself (e.g., this one). Although the quotations are mostly taken from secondary sources, the quotes themselves are primary sources. The Talk page for WP:PRIMARY is currently discussing the policy statement that an editor should "not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them" (emphasis added). We seem to be in that territory here. WP:BLPPRIMARY also says to be cautious in using primary sources. Is the article text sometimes relying too much on quotes from Vance? Or is that appropriate, given that the article is about his political positions and secondary sources think direct quotations are a good way to capture some of them?

The statement is made that is made that J.D. Vance is against Same-sex marriage. However, when following the citation I cannot find he where he said he was against same-sex marriage, but rather a statement that said there were bigger problems than a bill to codify marriage protections. Actual statement saying he is against same-sex marriage is not present. New citation or edit to the claim is needed. 204.93.117.253 (talk) 15:37, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rationale: what someone thinks of the issue overall guides all of the rest of their actions. An overarching comment like "I don't care what happens to Ukraine" is perhaps even more meaningful than "prefers a negotiated peace" or any one stance on a wide topic.
Thus I think this should be added to this line: "Vance has said he "doesn't really care what happens to Ukraine", also stating "I think that there are a lot of democracies in the world”<ref here>. He opposes continued American military aid to Ukraine during the ongoing Russian invasion, and says he prefers a negotiated peace.[24][25][26]

Remove third paragraph in Economic Policy -> Labor Unions, which reiterates the same information as in the second paragraph quote (from Liz Shuler). Spoonberry (talk) 03:56, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there! I wrote "alleged", and I added half a sentence with your source, but I don't know if adding that sentence constitutes WP:Original Research. In that case, that half sentence will be deleted again. Anyway, DoneLova Falk (talk) 08:02, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: appropriately cited, see WP:SECONDARY. Or check out the Political positions of JD Vance#LGBT issues and gender roles section Cannolis (talk) 01:35, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
Done I removed the last sentence (that reiterated the same information) and moved the next to last sentence up. Lova Falk (talk) 09:24, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
