Adding content in the controversies section

Hi Von oberstein and Raymond3023, I see there is some issue regarding a line in the controversy section. I looked at the source closely. It firstly claims that it were his men saying so and shows a video clip. It does not specify if he was on stage or not and also do not mention if this it went viral or not. I would like to point out that this ia a WP:BLP and thus we have to add information with care. The content seems to me as WP:OR and plus the source itself might not qualify WP:RS for this. I would urge the both of you to discuss this further here if you disagree with my analysis or have some other opinion. Please refrain from edit warring. Thanks.

Rayabhari[1] had also removed a lot of those BLP contradictions, and even archives show that mostly one person[2] who was later blocked for socking, "trolling and deception"[3] wanted to retain such a problematic version. I think that we need to rename a few sections and discuss or at least note here before removing anything more. Raymond3023 (talk) 06:27, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There is a BBC article which clearly states that Yogi was present on the stage when the statement against Muslim women was made. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-39403778.

Either way, it was a controversial event which Yogi had clear involvement in and should be mentioned as it was highly publicized in Indian media circles after his appointment as Chief Minister. I was also unaware that you could remove legitimate cited content if it was added by sockpuppets and trolls. Von oberstein (talk) 16:31, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Von oberstein If you read the BBC source you have provided it actually basis it on a ScoopWhoop article which is considered a WP:PUS since it is more of a tabloid. If this indeed was true then it would have been reported in other Indian media outlets which is currently not the case. So as I say your statement that it was an event which Yogi had clear involvement needs a WP:RS and validation per WP:BLP. I have copy-edited some of the content in the controversies section since it was based on a SWAC post which is not considered WP:RS. These edits were removed since it was not legitimate or correctly cited. But one can also revert edits from Socks per WP:DENY. I have left a note on your Talk page and reiterate it here, please discuss it on the article talk page or spend some time in understanding the content/sources before you revert edits or add new contentious content on any article. Also, you cannot make your inferences but merely add what is stated in the source per WP:OR Thanks. 18:56, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
You might consider Scoopwhoop a tabloid, but the fact checkers at BBC definitely aren't working for a tabloid when they decided the incident was good enough to publish. Not that they'd need to rely on the Scoopwhoop article when the entire incident was taken from a filmed documentary mentioned in https://thewire.in/117655/yogi-adityanath-uttar-pradesh-bjp/. Now, you might not see this documentary as evidence, but others did, and it is disingenuous to suggest that the incident has not been brought up by the media. https://thewire.in/117326/adityanath-uttar-pradesh-bjp-chief-minister-hindutva/ https://qz.com/936492/yogi-adityanath-as-uttar-pradesh-up-cm-bharatiya-janata-party-bjp-is-finally-confident-enough-to-reveal-its-most-venomous-religious-agenda-to-india/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/global-opinions/wp/2017/03/24/meet-the-militant-monk-spreading-islamophobia-in-india/?utm_term=.8ef949444b1f
