Floyd

why is George Floyd in the scope of this project? Michael H (talk) 12:12, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

During the 1990s and early 2000s, he performed as a rapper under the stage name Big Floyd. This aspect of his life isn't directly connected to Floyd's notability; however, after his death, several pieces were published that discussed Floyd's music, and there's a brief but well-sourced paragraph about his rap career in the "Adult life" section of his article.

Edit war happening, thoughts needed

On the page Billy Woods, the faceless rapper, there is a photograph of him performing at a concert. I believe this picture should be shown on Wikipedia as per Wikipedia:UNCENSORED. Other editors, both IP and registered users, have removed this image as Billy Woods tries to remain faceless. These edits aren’t often, so the 3 revert policy isn’t afficiated.

If you have ideas, I would like help. Roasted (talk) 23:42, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

This is a topic I've been mulling over as well; I've been struggling to decide my own stance on it. On the one hand, the WP:UNCENSORED argument is a strong one in favor of including the photo; on the other hand, this is a WP:BLP article, and the subject's likeness is a piece of potentially identifying information that he's on record as not wanting publicized. If anyone has experience in how those concerns have historically been weighed against each other, I'd be happy to learn more. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 22:41, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Since this discussion doesn't seem to have generated much attention, I've brought up the topic at WP:BLPN#Billy Woods to solicit input from a wider pool of users. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 20:48, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
