Footnote
If the footnote is no longer operative, then we cannot use it to cite support. We either get a new citation or it has to go.NoNameMaddox (talk) 06:12, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- Wrong. See WP:DEADLINK. DMacks (talk) 06:24, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- The article is citing a website that does not open. For all we know it NEVER opened. Particularly with the Kasabian article and strict BLP, if it cannot be backed up it needs to come down, stat.NoNameMaddox (talk) 06:35, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- See and follow the suggestions in WP:DEADLINK for finding a copy of the source or an alternate source. DMacks (talk) 06:36, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- See, I don't believe that the source ever existed. That's my position. So I pulled it down. If someone would like to put it up, cool, they can find a new citation.NoNameMaddox (talk) 06:40, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- You'll probably be blocked pretty soon for removing cited info. DMacks (talk) 06:43, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- and be back ten minutes later like always. But not before taking some of you with me!NoNameMaddox (talk) 06:57, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

BLP and the reference
I find it a little disengenuous for anyone to remove text from the article on the claim that there was no working link in the reference when indeed there was. Were that a valid reason, I would refer you to WP:DEADREF, which has detailed information on dealing with a dead link, none of which include removing it first. Removing it on grounds of WP:BLP was invalid. The subject of the article has been dead for 18 years and the person who called the show was not identified. What is wrong with removing the word "aimless" yourself, Squeakbox, if you object to it? It took more effort to write your edit summary than it would have to change one word. Meanwhile, there is no precedent for including a BLP tag on an article for a person dead nearly two decades. LaVidaLoca (talk) 20:15, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
