Blacklist a whole website
I think blacklisting the whole Newsmax TV website is an unwarranted approach. Now, I can't list the source for The Benny Report. --2601:C4:C300:1BD0:D51B:167E:1D8C:CF5 (talk) 22:16, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
Beneful
Right, I'm going to actually do something about this. Beneful is the name of a brand of dog food. Period. I can find no evidence that it has ever been used as a person's given name, let alone this guy's. A source has been cited that uses it, but it's not a specialist source, so could easily be a case of citogenesis, just copying Wikipedia, of which there are a disappointingly large number of cases.
In future, this claim that it's his name will not be accepted without a reliable source that shows evidence of in-depth research into Mr. Johnson's background (not just Googling), for instance interviews researching his family, career, where he grew up etc, and/or that has actually accessed a copy of his birth certificate or contemporary birth announcement.
To whoever's putting this in, I'm sorry, you may think it's funny or you may have been misled by circular reporting, but you are damaging Wikipedia's reputation for accuracy and the time has come to stop. Blythwood (talk) 20:19, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
