content moved from the article as unsourced

[edit]

I just removed a good amount of content from the article as not verified through cited reliable sources. Per policy on biographies of living persons, inadequately referenced material is to be removed immediately. The version of the article before I performed the removal is this. If you can, please find sources that verify any of the information before adding stuff back. Thank you. Dancter 14:19, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Um, no. If you actually read the policy, it says that you should do this is if the material is contentious. The content isn't negative, and it isn't even questionable. This article, like most of Wikipedia, lacks sources. The solution to that is to actually do the work and find sources, rather than spending ones time needlessly stubbing articles.

As I understood it, harmful information does not need to be negative. If you examined some of my edits, I did do some work trying to find sources, add added them in. WP:BLP stressed that the article needs to be right. A page I pulled up in a search contradicted the listed birthdate, and while I'm not sure about the accuracy of that page, it did alert me that the article's birthdate was not supported by a source, and for all I knew, could be wrong. Paragraphs two and three struck me as POV. As a reader with no prior knowledge and some search page findings, I questioned quite a bit of the article. I wasn't trying to perform a careless drive-by stubbing. But you've been around much longer than I have, and are trusted by the community, so I'll defer to you. I've been performing similar removals on other living persons articles, though not to the same extent, but perhaps I should back off from those, as well. Dancter 15:10, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The appropriate thing to do in that instance would have been to put a fact tag on the birthdate, and tidy up the second and third paragraphs, stripping away the POV, rather than blanking them. I can't see anything in there that is factually disputable once one removes the spin - just fairly mundane, easily referenced, career facts. Rebecca 00:57, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
