What do we do with this whitewashed article?

It has come to our attention that this article completely whitewashes Huey Long.

After some digging around, we have it on good authority Huey Long was a "kingpin" of the south, a communist only in name, perhaps to endear himself to Southern minorities, who ruled with a quasi-fascist iron fist.

This article was entirely written by two patsoc users who have since been banned from prolewiki. It seems clear to me patsocs uphold Huey Long and try to whitewash his legacy.

Therefore, in my opinion, this article is not fit to appear on the wiki in this current state. Huey Long does not deserve so kind a treatment and we are essentially peddling lies.

The only possible resolution I see is a complete rewrital of this article, from scratch, and very soon. Otherwise, if nobody is available to rewrite this article, we should delete it until we want to take another shot at it.

There, reworked the article with a reference, should make it less revisionist

Not sure, honestly, but I disagree with deleting it altogether. I think some parts can be salvaged
