Addition of "soft" within "Euroscepticism"[edit]

I was curious on why "soft" is not added within the info-box along with "Euroscepticism" (Soft Euroscepticism). The majority of parties within the group are either Soft Eurosceptic or hold no Euro position. Also within the Euroscepticism page under Soft Euroscepticism. This group is described as Soft Eurosceptic as, "It reflects a support for the existence of, and membership of, a form of EU but with opposition to specific EU policies".

The source does not use the word “soft” in reference to the article subject. Cambial — foliar❧ 15:25, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Though within the Soft Eurosceptic section of the Euroscepticism page. It directly states that "the European United Left–Nordic Green Left, which is an alliance of the left-wing parties in the European Parliament, display soft Euroscepticism.". The whole section/paragraph is also sourced with 6 sources, and we could add some of those sources within this page as well. ZlatanSweden10 (talk) 18:26, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive weight to single author[edit]

The purpose of the info box is to represent well-documented key pieces of information. WP:NPOV requires that the views of tiny minorities (e.g. a single author) are not represented. Presenting the view of a single author as a key fact (also unmentioned in the article body) is absolutely not what we do here. Cambial — foliar❧ 09:59, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well one more source added to the article, I really don't find as a problem to it is labeled sometimes as far left political group. Also in some works labeled as a radical left^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] too for example there in that sources. Nubia86 (talk) 10:17, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
