Strong keep. Hilton is to Cameron as Campbell was to Blair. He is the power behind the throne (according to Peter Hitchens, "Dolly" Draper). We need to track down reliable information about this person and his activities. pmcray 16:34, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Don’t agree the page urgently needs comment on Hilton’s reaction to Ann Coulter comments on his show and his enthusiastic non critical support for trump. Hilton is not accurately described on the page Lawrenson77 (talk) 20:00, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
It is unclear to me that the section we have about him having dinner with Boris Johnson is in any way useful, particularly now that Hilton is leaving Number 10 to move to California with his wife. The newspaper story is speculation about him taking some kind of position in the Mayor's office (which he obviously isn't going to do now) and speculating further about him running for Mayor himself many years from now. Given the full context of his career, this seems overblown unless there are substantial sources - one newspaper speculation strikes me as not enough.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 16:00, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
He has become an important weekend host on the Fox News Channel. This is missing in the article. Lou Sander (talk) 02:53, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
This article doesn't completely reflect his career in British Politics. He was around for a long time. Also it would be more useful to be clear that he was chief advisor to Cameron from 2010 to 2012 per the New Stateseman article. As the article just presently states how long Cameron was Prime Minister. I might try and add this myself but I wanted to start a talk section about fleshing out his career from a Saatchi ad man to present. Barry Mason (talk) 10:16, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
WP:V Verifiability, and WP:BLPRS / BLPSOURCES - Contentious statements based on inaccurate sources / unsourced
For transparency I disclose a connection to the article subject when pointing out the below.
I nominate the section titled “2020 election fraud claims” for correction or removal as it contains a contentious claim that is unsourced and inaccurate. Although the section purports to cite two articles in the Independent Newspaper, the relevant sections of those articles are actually worded substantially differently to the Wikipedia entry, and do not support it.
In particular the headline of the section and the first sentence are not supported by what is written in the articles.
The Independent articles report more closely the actual words the biography subject used in his broadcasts on the topic, however this section does not. This can be independently verified from the original clips of the broadcast in question: YouTube.com/watch?v=o9829am7inE
The biography subject has also made it clear that contrary to the claims in this section, he did not and does not endorse any claim the 2020 election was “stolen” , and that this has been tested in court and rejected. Dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-12029731/Kamala-Harris-Ron-DeSantis-blames-senile-mans-finger-Americas—nuclear-button.html
” of course, the 2020 presidential election was not stolen. As I argued at the time there were certainly serious issues with the election for example the tech companies censoring evidence of the Biden family’s shady overseas business dealings. And in key battleground states democrats introduced last minute changes to voting procedures that were arguably not in line with constitutional rules and designed for partisan advantage. But the time to challenge all that was before the election not afterwards. Claims of large scale fraud were tested in the courts and rejected, which is why I for one never gave them the time of day”
I suggest that the relevant rules are wp:blprs/blpsources “contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced should be removed immediately and without discussion” and wp:v “all content must be verifiable” & “the cited source must clearly support the material as presented in the article”.

Hello editors. My name is SK and I am here as part of my work with Steve Hilton. Because of this conflict of interest, I am seeking updates here in place of direct editing.
I ask if editors can consider correcting information currently in the False 2020 election fraud claims section. As written, the section says "Hilton promoted Trump's false claims of large-scale fraud on his Fox News show", yet that's not supported by the cited sources. Instead, in reference No. 11, The Independent writes: "In the immediate aftermath of the 2020 election, he backed calls for an investigation into claims of election fraud". Reference No. 46 quotes heavily from Hilton's broadcast. While the source says Hilton "demands a 'fair investigation' into unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud", it does not say Hilton promoted Trump's claims of large-scale fraud, as this Wikipedia article declares.
There is nuance here, but given Wikipedia's rules on Biographies of living persons, this article should more closely resemble the source material. The source material never says Hilton amplified Trump's claims. Instead, he said that "any evidence of fraud or irregularity should be brought forward and the court should adjudicate." Hilton also said "But when it’s this close. This important with this many late changes to the rules, of course, we should investigate them thoroughly. Not just for the sake of the win but for the sake of faith in our system."
It would be fine for these points to be specifically mentioned on Wikipedia, as Hilton made them and they have been reported on by The Independent. But they should be written in a way that reflects what is in the reliable source, per Verifiability.
I suggest the following:

On his Fox News broadcast, Hilton demanded an investigation into false claims of election fraud following the 2020 presidential election, clips of which were tweeted by Trump.Your version ignores the fact that the election claims were false. And I don't know why you tagged those refs as "paid subscription", when they are not. Isaidnoway (talk) 11:49, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi editors, I had another request, this time for an addition to the article related to a ballot measure Hilton has proposed. I propose adding the following sentence to the Career section:

Please let me know what you think. SKflo (talk) 15:59, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
In 2023, Hilton founded Golden Together, a bipartisan think tank, with Lanhee Chen and Gloria Romero. The same year, he proposed a ballot initiative for 2024 designed to reduce the housing shortage in California, a measure which the San Francisco Chronicle called a "developer's giveaway" because it would place a "tight cap on fees" as well as restrict "who can file California Environmental Quality Act lawsuits aimed at their [developers] projects."
Please advise. Regards, Spintendo 17:49, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi editors, I thought I would revisit the elections request I had earlier and condense conversations into a new post so it's easier for new editors to discuss the topic.
In short, I proposed a change to the False 2020 election fraud claims section. The changes were twofold:

After further discussion, Isaidnoway said they would like additional feedback from other editors, which is why I'm making this post. I'd welcome anyone's thoughts on this proposed change. SKflo (talk) 21:48, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi editors, I had a small request to make of the introduction. Could we change the description of Steve to "British–American"? As noted in the article he became an American citizen in May 2021. The San Francisco Chronicle recently verified his U.S. citizenship as well. Please let me know what you think! SKflo (talk) 17:00, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
