This needs to be included in the summary
He is currently charged with 16 counts of witness intimidation, each of which carries a sentence of up to 20 years, along with charges of unlawful picketing to influence a witness and conspiracy to influence a witness.
This is verified by several different sources, including boston 25 news, which Wikipedia does indentify as a reliable third-party source. https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/mass-blogger-known-turtleboy-shares-message-jail-days-after-judge-revoked-his-bail/GIQNUFLVYFGGVM76ANYNIKYADM/ TequilaMockingBird91 (talk) 21:19, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- A current news item isn’t necessarily suitable for a biography. If the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ witness protection legislation is ruled unconstitutional due to the charges against Aidan, that would be suitable for a biography. Gortaleen (talk) 10:09, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- Whether it’s suitable for a biography is gratuitous. All that’s regarded for a qualified Wikipedia edit is that the edit has to be backed up by a reliable third-party source. TequilaMockingBird91 (talk) 15:41, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- “All that’s required” is too low a threshold for determining what goes into a biography. Current news items that are not of historical significance do not belong in a biography. Gortaleen (talk) 08:44, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
