Concerns over article content edit

Dear editors, recent publications of the article cited the exact address of the crime scene. There is no basis whatsoever after reviewing reports cited in original article. Please be considerate.

@Trkk1234 Hi, I noted that you had previously asked for advice on how to deal with the exact address and your concerns. Perhaps you can try asking over at WP:BLPN and the volunteers might have a better idea on how to guide and assist you. I strongly suggest that if you do not wish to publicise the exact address, refrain from mentioning the exact address again, do see Streisand effect. Also there is a direct mention of the exact address in Singapore's Malay newspaper which I would not link. Please do mention this detail as well as it would affect decisions and what things to be done. Thanks. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 01:55, 18 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I took your advise and visited the BLPN page. Reading its policy, it can help. I had posted and hope to get a sympathetic Wiki Administrator (BLP) that can take action to have the exact address removed and not to be published again. Trkk1234 (talk) 14:17, 18 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

I saw that post and agree that the house number cannot be included without strong sources. There was no citation in either the lead or the infobox. However, if the address is actually mentioned in multiple mainline news articles, then that information is already public and it will be hard to exclude it from the article.

I don't find any house number in the article. Which section contains the number? -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 16:24, 18 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
I just removed it due to lack of citation. Skyerise (talk) 16:25, 18 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
I see what happened. Carry on and keep it out. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 16:26, 18 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Skyerise@Valjean : I had only managed to find one newspaper article in a Singapore newspaper archive, NewspaperSG. Just like to check is there a need to revdel previous revisions. Thanks. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 15:05, 19 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
