Content removal

Someone--I assume the same person--has repeatedly removed a paragraph from this page. From the content, I assume that the intent is to suppress negative information. I have left a talk page message for the most recent incarnation of this user, but he/she has not responded.

I dislike going to WP:AN/3, and I have no opinion pro or con on the paragraph itself; it might fail WP:BLP. However, I also dislike the idea that someone can unilaterally remove sourced info, and there's a clear 3RR violation.

Does anyone want to weigh in on this?

The removed section is all referenced to the single nytimes piece, http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/06/business/media/cartoonist-fired-from-farm-news.html%7C, which does not mention Grant by name, and thus does not support the claim. The content should stay out. However, I agree that the repeated removal constituted a 3rr violation.Dialectric (talk) 15:22, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the second opinion and for checking out the source. I'm inclining against pursuing this further. NewEnglandYankee (talk) 15:37, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

He has been ordered to testify

Please don't label my sources, which now also includes the respected New York Business Journal, as "fringe.".[1][2][3][4] 2601:447:4100:C120:1484:3EE5:F97D:A4E3 (talk) 16:25, 20 December 2019 (UTC) The sources I included in the lead section also specifically mention the word "controversy" or "controversial."2601:447:4100:C120:1484:3EE5:F97D:A4E3 (talk) 16:27, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Things like USRTK, etc. were blatant fringes sources and had no place here. Otherwise, please read WP:NOTNEWS IP. Someone having to testify in a court case isn't particularly encyclopedia worthy, especially in a pending case in terms of WP:CRYSTAL. If something particularly noteworthy happens related to the case and this BLP, we'll need sources that go beyond standard news like we have so far.
