Speedy deletion of an attack page

A page you created has been deleted because it was a biography of a living person that was entirely negative in tone and unsourced, according to section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Do not create articles about living people that are entirely negative in tone and unsourced. Wikipedia has a policy of verifiability and any negative information we use must be reliably sourced, and our articles must be balanced. Negative, unreferenced biographies of living people are not tolerated by Wikipedia and users who create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy may be blocked from editing. – bradv 05:40, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

This default notice probably isn't the best, but you should be aware that the New York Post is not considered reliable for U.S. politics. As no reliable sources appear to be covering this, and there is currently no official confirmation from the FBI or government officials, this article is too soon. – bradv 05:43, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, this is all evolving very rapidly. I have restored the draft, as it's now been confirmed by mainstream sources. – bradv 05:49, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I am drafting an article as the story developed. This is going to take time to develop but I wanted to get the ball rolling for the wiki community as this story develops Sttammany (talk) 08:45, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

That's not a problem, we just want to make sure things are accurate before they we publicize them, especially concerning biographies of living persons. Some news organizations have a reputation for prioritizing speed or sensationalism over accuracy, and they are generally less trustworthy. See WP:RSP for guidance on which sources to use. – bradv 15:07, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
