BLP violation?

Article says, "She did 10 paid modeling jobs in the U.S. in the seven weeks before she received legal permission to work in the country.[6]" Only one source is given for this, & that from Main Stream Media. And since there is such antagonism between Trump & the MSM, IMHO a claim that Melania broke the law modeling requires strong proof, including sources which are sympathetic to the Trumps.

I agree that we need more than an AP investigation to include this info in a BLP. I've moved it to talk while we discuss it.

  • No, we do not need sources sympathetic to the Trumps. We need reliable sources. This was reported by some of the most reputable sources, such as The Washington Post. Also - guess what? "Mainstream media" usually counts as reliable sources. The question is - has this claim been denied by the Trumps or a reliable source? Surtsicna (talk) 16:20, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with Surtsicna. This is a non-controversial claim backed by numerous RS, with the AP being one of the most reliable. We could easily add many more sources, with their commentary about the hypocrisy about this, but the AP source is good enough, and the content should be restored. If not, then we can restore it in a beefed-up version, with more sources and with commentary showing why it's very relevant, and I can guarantee that version would be even more bullet proof, and also much more negative. This version states the facts in a very neutral fashion and is good. If the content is not reverted very quickly, a better and more negative version is going in, and I see no need for that. Let's do the right thing and drop the political protectionism and overblown BLP sensitivity excuse. -- BullRangifer (talk) PingMe 19:16, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oh pull-esse, let's drop the bullshit "I',m so sorry I forgot to ping you." As a matter of fact I do not go around deleting long-standing Trump-related stuff without fully expecting immediate feedback--as has happened here. I would have thought you would be aware of that, but apparently not. The thing is, I don't doubt the truth of the information, I just feel that it needs better sourcing. This is, after all, a BLP.

Outdated website information

It says: > In July 2016, her official website was redirected to trump.com. On Twitter, she stated that her site was outdated and did not "accurately reflect [her] current business and professional interests".[63]

In early 2017, the MelaniaTrump.com[2] URL (and that line should name the URL and/or link to it) was later made to auto-redirect to her official Facebook page, and that change was made some time between January 21, 2017 and May 10, 2017, as recorded by the Wayback Machine (see the links below). Is about anyone able to add that to the article?
