Criticism

I have removed content that violated WP:BLP. It states that criticism should only be present only "if it is relevant to the subject's notability". If you feel differently, please respond here first. Brinkley32 (talk) 15:34, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Brinkley32,

Don Leeburn is one of the most influential members (IMHO the most influential) of the Georgia Board of Regents. The Board oversees the University of Georgia as well as having final authority over the University of Georgia Athletic Association. The Chairman of the UGA Athletic Association is UGA president Michael Adams, and Adams directly reports to the Board of Regents. As chairman of the Athletic Association, Adams oversees the Athletics Board and the UGA Athletics Director (AD) Damon Evans. As AD, Evans directly oversees Yoculan (i.e he does the annual reviews with her and passes his recommendations on to the Atheltic Board and Adams for final approval).

Since Coach Yoculan is an employee of the University and Leeburn is a Regent, I would say that couple's personal relationship is absolutely relevant to the subject's notability. In fact, I'm of the opinion that this part of her life may be as relevant to her notability as her coaching career because more people care about the inner workings of the Athletics department than about the gymnastics team (which I think is unfortunate).

So I believe the sentence about their relationship does pass the notability test for WP:BLP and that same policy's coatrack test. Also, the sentence is cited by a reliable source per WP:BLP; therefore, I think you should restore that sentence.

With that said, WP:BLP is very clear that anything in the article that discusses this relationship: (1) must be cited with reliable sources; (2) should not be original research; (3) must not express one's point of view about the morality of this relationship; and (4) must not be given "a disproportionate amount of space to particular viewpoints, to avoid the effect of representing a minority view as if it were the majority one" (per Wikipedia:Coatrack).

Finally, with respect to your decision to delete this sentence, the WP:BLP section on criticism and praise cited by you does not state that such information should be "removed imediately" - this immediate removal policy only applies for the WP:GRAPEVINE section of BLP as far as I can tell. I think the WP:BLPDEL section of BLP policy is more applicable in this case - "Biographical material about a living individual that is not compliant with this policy should be improved and rectified; if this is not possible, then it should be removed."

I can see you point about the importance of the relationship. If you feel it is important enough to be in the article, then it should probably have an explaination included in the article about why it is important. The way it is stated seems to be pointed in the direction of him being married. According to your reply, the notability has to do with the relationship in regards to his standing in the UGA community and her standing as part of the UGA athletic staff. I do not see how it goes to her notability that he is married. I can see how it could be relevant that for their having a relationship, but his marriage is about of his personal life and not her's. I guess it would be up for discussion how relavant his marriage is if it was article about him particularly. That has nothing to do with Yoculan and Leeburn's relationship with the university, and I do not feel that it is relevant. If you want to redo the sentence to explain the importance of their ties to the school, then okay. I do not believe the fact that he is married is relevant to an artilce about Yoculan. Let me know what you think. Thanks for your input. Brinkley32 (talk) 19:39, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
