This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Birth certificate

Ma won't have his original birth certificate, the original is always held by the registration authorities, the person registering the birth is given a copy. He may have his parents' original copy, but that's not the original. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.234.162 (talk) 21:56, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious

It would be extraordinary to be baptized twice as a Catholic. Kaihsu (talk) 11:12, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaihsu You may want to take a look at the sources; it seems to be the case. GuardianH 17:13, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I did: Both sources were based on hearsay. Kaihsu (talk) 18:48, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaihsu What are you talking about specifically? There is almost nothing in the second source that suggests it is hearsay. GuardianH 22:24, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The statements are unlikely to be both true, so they need to be toned down WP:VOICE e.g. “He was reportedly baptized as a Catholic at a young age.[refs]” We probably cannot resolve this further without other (more) reliable sources. Kaihsu (talk) 10:12, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
