WP:BLP requires the deletion of unsourced derogatory information about a living person. But the deletions here do not appear to be of derogatory information. Tagging the information for citation seems thoroughly justified. Deleting it outright seems, to me at least, less so. Do others have an opinion about this?

BLP requires reliable sourcing for all content. Unsourced content, especially when derogatory, should be removed. The information I removed seemed to be 1) less likely to appear in reliable coverage and 2) unencyclopedic in that it presented excessive detail on rather insignificant information, given the subject's notability. See also WP:FART. If you'd like to replace some of it and mark it as needing cites, I won't dispute. But the majority of the article was simply unsourced, which is unacceptable.

Thanks. I sorta understood your opinion. That's kinda why I asked if others had an opinion. David in DC (talk) 05:31, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
