Domestic abuse allegations

[edit]

I have removed allegations of domestic abuse as being non-notable. Since this article is a BLP, I believe discussion should take place before this type of content is added. Tiderolls 04:26, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is a court allegation. The edit makes it clear that it was an allegation. There is not dispute that the cites are to real court documents. I am not aware of any statement made by Wilson or anyone that disputes the facts of the court document, but please feel free to add such content. Otherwise, please stop removing the content. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.87.176.66 (talk) 17:53, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's just a bit more complicated than that. Notability of the circumstances has a part to play in determining whether the content stays. Also, your response did not address the BLP concerns. Perhaps you could explain why you think the event(s) are notable and why they belong in the article. "It's a fact" is not a reason. Tiderolls 18:06, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is notable because he is a public official. He beats his wife. I don't see how that would not be relevant for his race for Congress, which he has now lost. Mark Foley's page notes his fondness for male pages. I guess that you have a political agenda of trying to hide highly relevant, but damaging, information from people who look up Democratic congressmen, but there is no justification in deleting the content. If you think that it could be noted in a more neutral way, please go ahead and do it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.163.144 (talk) 03:17, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the content added was an "allegation"? In any event, the formula you put forth (public official+bad thing=notablility) does not necessarily follow. I am flattered, though, that you attach a liberal bias to me. As I hail from one of the most red states in the union (crimson, one might opine), it indicates that I am editing neutrally. I am also removing the recently added "loss may be due, in part..." content as it is definitely an editor drawing a conclusion. Please read WP:Notability, WP:BLP and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and try to make your case using Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Tiderolls 23:18, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Leaving a notice on your talk page that I have replied in this discussion, I noted that several editors have left you messages regarding neutral point of view. When more than one person attempts to tell you something it may indicate that there are concerns that need to be addressed. Tiderolls 18:12, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
