WP:BOLD on Controversy

Exercising WP:BOLD to remove what is in my strong belief that the mentions on derogatory comments as they currently are in terms of reliable multiple third-party sources are not sufficient to warrant a display on the article. I am going here in Presumption in favor of privacy from Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons which states that "If an allegation or incident is noteworthy, relevant, and well documented, it belongs in the article—even if it is negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it. If you cannot find multiple reliable third-party sources documenting the allegation or incident, leave it out.", as well as "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced and not related to making content choices should be removed, deleted, or oversighted, as appropriate.".

There has been no original coverage of said allegations from generally reliable news sources as per Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources. The two sources provided are not exactly news sites or trustworthy and highly consistent, and are sources that deal with entertainment, not factual reporting or news. The original source is Harper's Bazaar, which is a fashion trade journal. This should not substitute the requirement for multiple reliable third-party sources to demonstrate that the contentious material was, as per WP:BLP, noteworthy, relevant and well documented. Removing in favor of caution. Runforlimit505 (talk) 06:01, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

• Furthermore, the last sentence in the removed section read the following: "The controversy led to Duma being dropped from child's fashion company she founded, The Tot, and the website Buro 24/7". The sources provided was an article from a fashion journal, that reads the following: "Duma apologised, and was dropped from the child's fashion company she founded, The Tot, and from the website she co-founded in the early 2010s, Buro 24/7". This wording does not suggest she was dropped specifically for her comments, nor are there any legitimate sources to back the statement (such as a statement from the company or other articles) that she was removed for her comments. The formulation was thus pure conjecture.
