Reliable sources

Editors to this biography of living persons should take care to use reliable sources when adding information, especially when it could be considered derogatory. A good start in identifying a reliable source is to see if it has a Wikipedia article. This isn't a guarantee, though. But it helps to rule out low-readership blogs and such. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:31, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy section

There now appear to be conflicting stories from reliable sources about this person's detention. In light of that, the WP:PUBLICFIGURE policy needs to be scrupulously followed. There needs to be multiple reliable sources confirming the negative information, as stated in that policy, not just one. Moreover, the neutral point of view policy probably also requires that the conflicting stories also be mentioned. In that light, I've removed the section until policy can be followed. Perhaps the best plan would be to just give the matter a few days to see what other sources develop. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 22:07, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TransporterMan, I will be removing the controversy section per WP:PUBLICFIGURE. They're a couple of conflicting stories, my second reason is that Opelogbon and the second blocked editor on this page Waleewedemi are both new and edits to the controversy section were both edited the same day as it was added possibly with the intent to defame the subject making it impossible to know if WP:NPOV is followed or if there's actually a WP:COI with both editor not just Waleewedemi, nevertheless the subject was questioned by EFCC and again another point is that the target of the investigation is the subject's father. My conclusion is that any edits made on this page especially to the controversy section should be discussed on the talk page before being added. I will remove its contents but will leave the section open. Lapablo (talk) 12:07, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TransporterMan, The controversy section was restored after WP:PUBLICFIGURE was satisfied. The reports cited are from multiple credible newspapers and the content- which were quoted verbatim -were established to be true. There is no official statement from the anti-graft agency to back the claim of Lapablo. The revision by Lapablo is the same embarked upon by Waleewedemi - a staff of the subject - which he was blocked from. Wikipedia stands on credibility and not an avenue for image laundering. Any further edit on the section should be backed by a source citing the anti-graft agency. Having established multiple neutral and credible sources and counter narrative cited in fulfilment of WP:PUBLICFIGURE to balance the report, WP:NPOV has been established. However, Lapablo intervention should be looked into to determine if WP:COI has been fulfilled. Opelogbon (talk) 15:45, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bri, can you please check the edits of Opelogbon, that are overlooking the sources. He doesn't seem to be detained as per the news sources. Shashanksinghvi334 (talk) 17:04, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TransporterMan, Lapablo can you please check the suspicious edits of Opelogbon who is overlooking all sources and your comments here. Shashanksinghvi334 (talk) 17:17, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
