Catmull's Emails Regarding the Wage Theft Court Case

Catmull wrote some incriminating emails regarding the wage theft case. These emails are part of the court record and their authenticity is unquestioned. Their content is deeply incriminating. Therefore, I question the need to wait. Please respond. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Curmudgeon99 (talk • contribs)

The need to wait is a BLP issue. Yes, he may have been involved, but that's not the sole issue here. Right now, the suit is in litigation. That means there has been no determination of any wrong-doing by anyone. What you call "incriminating" is first, a serious POV issue and second, your personal opinion. Right now, you simply have a complainant side making an allegation of wrong-doing. No neutral (ie court) has made that determination. So putting this in a BLP is WP:ANTICIPATION. Right now, including it would be more being a newspaper than inserting something encyclopedic. I'm not saying it should never go in the article. I'm saying it shouldn't go in now. When we see the results of the case, we can better assess if is belongs and in what form. Niteshift36 (talk) 17:12, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
The case was settled without any finding of wrong-doing. Since Catmull was not personally sued (Pixar was) and wasn't determined to have done anything wrong, there's no reason for this to be in his BLP. Niteshift36 (talk)14:42, June 19, 2016‎
