"Famous Skeets" List

[edit]

Referring here to this and multiple similar edits - this has been added/removed a few times, can anyone cough up a source on it or even explain who these people are? As is it is unsourced and none of these people appear to be noteworthy. I have removed it for now, please find a source or give more context before re-adding it.

The information keeps getting inserted into the article. So far the only source the user adding it has produced is a vague reference to "Newfoundland Herald, Issue 98 (December 2014)." Problem is, the only publication by that title that I can find is this one, and you'll note that it doesn't have an issue 98. It published issues 47 through 51 in December 2014. Same user now claims in their edit summary that "it's a book" - but I find no evidence of a book by that name ever having been published, and no information as to title, author, publisher etc. was given.
Add to that the fact that none of the people listed actually appear to be famous, and I believe we're looking at a Hoax/BLP issue here. I'm therefore going to remove the information once more - please see WP:RS and WP:REFB to find out what kind of information you'd need to provide if you expect this information to be included in the article. That said, even if a reliable source is found, I don't think a simple list of names bears including in the article.Fyddlestix (talk) 15:12, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm from & live in Newfoundland, I don't know who any of these people are. I think this is an attempt at defacing the article. If there are any "famous" skeets they are people known for being constantly in trouble with the law. I also don't think those people need their names in the article.
