Should he not be called "Farmer and politician" as he was a farmer before during and after his political career? Rustygecko ( talk) 21:41, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
The FreeBMD page for registration of his birth is this one, showing third quarter 1956. Companies House also have him born in May 1956. Some other sources which give a date of 26 May include: Who's Who, europarl.europa.eu, and parallelparliament.co.uk. 26 May 1956 is also given at List of United Kingdom MPs by seniority (2017–2019) -- Martinevans123 ( talk) 14:07, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

You need to add ‘tractors’ to his interests. 80.229.153.159 ( talk) 12:03, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
Neil Parish has now been appointed to an office of profit under the crown, and as such is no longer an MP, effective today. The sidebar has already been edited to reflect this, but the lead paragraph is still worded as if he's currently an MP ("who has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Tiverton and Honiton since 2010"). Please edit the lead paragraph to reflect that he is, as of 4 May 2022, no longer an MP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thecarterclan1 ( talk • contribs) 16:57, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
Who's Who
here lists his 'Recreations' as "swimming, walking". This may be something that Parish has reported to Who's Who, but that's a perfectly reliable secondary source. Likewise the
Somerset County Gazette
here says "His leisure interests include music and swimming." Again, not a quote from Parish himself or from a website he controls, but a perfectly notable
WP:RS. Not only have these details now been removed, four times by anon IPs, over the past two days, but the last revert came with a lovely personal attack in the edit summary: "what Neil Parish says about himself is not of interest. We deal in verifiable facts. I have observed at many, many articles that you do not have any real idea of what that means.
" They may be very mundane details, perhaps somewhat boring, but I'm really not sure why are they are not wholly suitable for inclusion in this article. Perhaps (one of) the anonymous IPs could explain further.

Is see that the latest IP has now been blocked. But the common tone, running through the edit summaries, is one of condescension. Martinevans123 ( talk) 12:02, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
I would suggest we get more views on this from other editors, so that a consensus might be established"? What's your view? Thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 12:08, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
It's certainly an odd thing for the IP(s) to get so worked up about. And the edit summaries are complete personal attacks and, as such, out of line. The content is neither promotional nor unencyclopedic. Many/(most?) political entries here have a small Personal life section, in which details of the subject's wider interests/activities are included without it being an issue. Looking at this, for example, I learn the PM drinks Mexican coke, has a labrador, does Peloton and that his interests include football, cricket and horse racing. I don't think one line on Mr Neil Parish's interests is out of place. KJP1 ( talk) 14:35, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
