The IKEA employee and LGBTQIA+ rights in Poland[edit]

This article included a section on an employee who was fired in Poland for posting Bible verses which were said to condemn LGBTQIA+ rights. I removed this section for a few reasons:

Framing it as a "criticism" risks violating NPOV, since much of the article focuses on things which are objectively abhorrent (such as illegal discrimination or financing dictatorships) rather than criticism by politicians
The whole discussion was hardly a controversy in Poland; if anything, it was manufactured by several politicians and organizations which wanted to create a controversy
IKEA is a company which has generally been quite supportive of Pride and queer rights. Not sure how the fact that they fired an employee who aggressively opposed those values merits "criticism"

Since this issue has the potential to become an interesting court case, it might merit its own article, but that's only if the case develops further. It's also incredibly tricky to address it in an NPOV way, so I found it wiser to remove the section instead. KluskaSlaska (talk) 20:51, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
