Divorce details removed as "poorly sourced material" by anonymous user even though they had a source from the New York Times

This is the edit that removes the section: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Scott_Hassan&oldid=1126363747

Before the edit the section is visible: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Scott_Hassan&oldid=1122858788 by anonymous user with IP 24.6.226.102 (California).

This is the New York Times source: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/20/technology/Scott-Hassan-Allison-Huynh-divorce.html

A second edit by the same IP 24.6.226.102 removed another usage of the same reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Scott_Hassan&diff=1126364005&oldid=1126363892

Without further explanation why it is poorly sourced, this edit feels very suspicious, there's a chance it might have been made by Scott or his supporters as the section contained information about him that might be seen as negative or sensitive.

User:24.6.226.102 Could you provide further justification why the New York article is "poorly sourced material"?

Asking for 3rd opinion at: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Third_opinion&oldid=1129717858#Active_disagreements I'm not waiting for the editor to reply because it was an anonymous edit, not sure exactly how anonymous user communication is possible at all.

Response to third opinion request:

The personal life section is well sourced given the NYT source, so obviously worth including. I have reverted it's removal myself. Cerebral726 (talk) 13:35, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Scott_Hassan&diff=prev&oldid=1229976978 makes the divorce look nicer to Hassan and removes citations. Done by account User:ReversingWrongs which only has that edit, so another possible Hassan puppet. Can we revert and add some kind of protection to the page? We can leave out the "Before the trial, Hassan admitted to having started a website in Huynh's name containing "embarrassing information from her past"." sentence as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#People_who_are_relatively_unknown I'm learning about this stuff now. Cc. User:Cerebral726 Revert reason: "Addition of Huynh and their divorce proceedings have little to do with the story of Mr. Hassan. These notes were placed by someone working to use personal issues against a private person. to". I opened a second third opinion request for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Third_opinion&oldid=1237951512 Cirosantilli2 OK I'll just remove the personal life section out entirely as subject "relatively unknown".

OK summary of the opera: I made a protection request https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection/Increase&oldid=1238499902 , admin El C confirmed that the bio and notably divorce should be left out altogether, and added a 3 month new protection. Thanks El C for clarifying things.Cirosantilli2 (talk) 07:36, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
