Nurse?

[edit]

Editors have been adding allegations from two websites about Levy's previous job status, (whether he was a nurse or an assistant at a hospital). These sites are not evidently reliable, and there is nothing from sources which are acceptable under WP:BLP to substantiate them. Nor are two websites 'multiple' sources as was claimed. I have therefore removed this text per WP:BLP. One editor in associatin with this entered under the short decription template accusations which could be construed as libellous. I have also removed these. --Smerus (talk) 21:12, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just to remind everyone of the intro to WP:BLP -

We must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be supported by an inline citation to a reliable, published source. Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.Users who persistently or egregiously violate this policy may be blocked from editing.

[ec] Nursing Times "not evidently reliable"? ""Not acceptable under BLP"? Tosh. Undo your unwarranted deletion. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:25, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Andy, I have re-corrected your edit to the article to reflect the facts (albeit the whole affair referred to is perhaps trivial and maybe even WP:UNDUE). You also did not take into account my genuine objection to the use of the word 'multiple', which implies more than two. Please, especially in view of our relationship over the years, try to be courteous - I may disagree with you, but I don't call your contributions 'tosh' nor do I state them to be 'unwarranted'. Let me gently remind you of WP:AGF. With all best regards, --Smerus (talk) 13:11, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
