Missing Items in Controversy Section?

Hi, is there a particular reason that despite for example a wikipedia page descriptively titled as a 2008 election controversy (https://en.wikipedia.org/Bill_Ayers_2008_presidential_election_controversy) is not listed in the "Controversies" section? It seems logical to include if it merits its own wiki page, I would think. 38.70.255.205 (talk) 08:47, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
