BLP concerns[edit]

Will whoever is adding these references to John Tosh's sexuality and the court case about him please add a proper reference, if such a thing exists. A verifiable reference to a newspaper article would be acceptable. I have searched the BBC News archive and the Google News UK archive, as well as doing the usual internet seach engine checks, and have found no reference to this prosecution or anything like it. I am not saying it did not happen but the sources have to be cited.

Also to the editor who added the notability guideline. Do you think the new paragraph about Tosh's importance to history and historiography (with references) is enough to warrant the removal of the tag? Graham Lippiatt (talk) 16:31, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the unsubstantiated allegations, and will monitor and revert any future insertions of such matter, which should be treated as vandalism. We can, if necessary, report these attacks to Roehampton, who will be able to identify and discipline the students involved. I have also removed the notability tag, as I believe that the article establishes the subject's notability sufficiently. DuncanHill (talk) 01:01, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
