"Malicious content"
[edit]87.224.74.105 I'm curious as to how the information you removed is 'malicious'. Boomer VialHolla! We gonna ball! 00:14, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
Wiki's policy towards living biographies is clear. Personal comments about whether the person is a gentleman or not, are prohibited. Also, do not state "claimed", if this is in doubt the content has no place in Wikipedia. any attemts to reinstate the malicious content a third time will result in user blocking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yon dee (talk • contribs) 08:16, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Boomer Vial and That'sbetter: A WordPress blog and a blogspot.com blog both don't strike me as reliable sources worthy of being included in a WP:BLP, since they're WP:USERGENERATED. I've removed the content from the article that relies on these two sources, as well as some content based on other sources that wouldn't make sense without the context of these two sources. I realize that the Chasing Aphrodite WordPress one is written by a fairly reputable journalist, but the fact remains that it is only him that is writing the blog with seemingly little editorial oversight. As this is a BLP, I would be much more comfortable if we could get a consensus here that these sources are reliable before restoring the information. Alternatively, I noticed that the blog entries themselves may cite reliable sources; if we could cite those sources, I would be happy as well. Mz7 (talk) 08:48, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- Mz7 Since it's only him writing, now I don't know how I feel about including it on the article. Boomer VialBe ready to fight the horde! • Contribs 08:51, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
