Jack Leak scenario

A: I think it's important to take a step back and try and gain a clearer picture here. Firstly, Wikipedia is not censored and does not conform to inadequete arguments. It's natural to think that if something negative is posted about somebody's work, it should be removed but this is not always the case. There have been several examples on Wikipedia where an person's personal objections have been denied because the truth it more important. As long as the information isn't bias, unduely offensive (e.g. swearing), libel or illegal then it can be kept. In this sense, I do not believe this constitutes a breach of WP:BLP. Assuming the external links comply with WP:LINKS then I see no reason why it the links should not remain. Are they fringe theories? This depends on the content themselves. Are they well referenced, for example, or are they simply several ideas thrown together? Do they constitute original research?
This article needs to be carefully looked after but not so much that it's taking weeks or months to reach an acceptable state. The article should be completely unbiased—if it has to be negative as there are no positive reviews then this must be implied throughout the article so that it doesn't come across as it did before work commenced.
