edit request

Michael Fassbender trained at the Drama Centre London, not Central school of speech and drama.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Baseball Watcher 22:59, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

I must be crazy, but I THINK Michael Fassbender was my Editing Teacher, at Boston Film And Video.

Michael Collins

Very doubtful he is 'descended' from Michael Collins as he had no children any history book is aware of. Author probably means 'related' to Michael Collins and 'descended' from one of his siblings.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.149.97.85 (talk) Agree! It is an established fact that Michael Collins had no offspring. The connection must be through Adam and Eve.

As in the case of most Wikipedia entries on celebrities, this entire entry reads like it was written by his publicist or a fan club. Witness the very liberal use of terms such as "critical acclaim". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.60.195 (talk) 20:44, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Persistent vandalism of the personal life section

There have been repeated attempts to remove information from the Personal life section pertaining to Michael Fassbender dating Nicole Beharie. The fact that Beharie is African-American and Fassbender caucasian is almost certainly playing a role in this. If the vandalism persists, then an admin should be contacted to place the page under protection. Malik047 (talk) 20:23, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Also, there has been vandalism on the Personal life section by a Fassbender fan pertaining to his relationship with former girlfriend Leasi Andrews. He was involved in a domestic abuse scandal that is documented in the links. His fans are attempting to delete the information and cited sources though no accusations against Fassbender currently exist. Bookmarkcollector (talk) 23:48, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Article fully protected

To stop the ongoing edit war, I have protected the article for a week. Please use the time to discuss whether the sources provided for the disputed section are adequate according to Wikipedia's rules for biographies of living persons. Favonian (talk) 16:15, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

As an uninvolved party, I think that per WP:BLPCRIME, it is not appropriate to include this accusation without a conviction. There would need to be much stronger coverage to warrant inclusion. Erik (talk | contribs) 16:35, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Correct. Any such claims made in the biographies of living persons need to be cited by a reliable source or be removed immediately, as outlined in WP:BLPCRIME. At this point, it is a given that these attempts at slander are originating from far-right or white supremacist circles as a consequence of Fassbender his choice in partners. This page will need to be watched. Malik047 (talk) 10:04, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Please remember to assume good faith. Just because someone disagrees with you, it doesn't make them a neo-Nazi. I came here to see if this story had been included; on examining the sources ([1],[2],[3]), I'd say they are reliable, but the material isn't significant enough to belong in this article at this time. We should try to avoid turning 'Personal life' sections into a gossip column, and only include negative allegations when they are highly notable. Robofish (talk) 17:37, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Please refrain from using red herrings in arguments; no difference of opinion is involved. When users began adding content to the personal life section regarding Fassbender dating Beharie, this sourced information was repeatedly being removed without any rationale provided in each edit, behavior consistent with vandalism. Shortly afterwards, continued attempts at slander were made in this same section, violating the guidelines outlined in WP:BLPCRIME. In both cases, the root cause of this disruptive behavior was making public the interracial character of Fassbender's relationships. Racism is a very real thing, and it nonetheless has no place here on Wikipedia. Malik047 (talk) 13:45, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

It should be noted that the recent discussion at BLPN showed a strong consensus against including this item in the article. Favonian (talk) 17:45, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
