Laundry list of "penalties" removed

I have removed the following from the lead, infobox and summary table:

Punishments include death, life in prison, floggings[1][2][3] fines, deportation, chemical castration,[4][5][3] forced psychological treatments,[6] honor killings,[4] vigilante executions,[7] beatings,[8][9][10] forced anal examinations,[11] forced hormone injections,[12][13] and torture.[8][14][10]

Some, or all, may need to go back into the article, most likely in the body, if proper sourcing is found. But most are not penalties, so if included again, will need to be detailed in their correct context. Putting here in meantime, for the record. AukusRuckus (talk) 13:22, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Above post is in no way agreement or encouragement for the very poorly sourced, or entirely unsourced, material to be placed back into the article. We don't leave "weak sources" for highly doubtful statements as "placeholders" within the article, as stated in the reinserting edit summary. AukusRuckus (talk) 07:06, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
What part of the policy says that. Show me. Littlepersonlavalamp (talk) 22:26, 24 October 2022 (UTC) [Blocked sockpuppet of Jacobkennedy, most recently editing as Lmharding 01:49, 25 October 2022 (UTC) ]
