Talk:Charles Walker (Georgia politician)

Comments

I declined a speedy deletion request on this article. I added two of the many throughly reliable newspaper sources. This is not a BLP violation, but the report on a notable political figure. The criminal matter is both relevant and sourced. DGG (talk) 04:36, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

It's swell you did the research to add the cites. Thank you. But my nomination was not improper, as you suggested on my talk page. Here's a direct quote from the WP:BLP page:

"Administrators encountering biographies that are unsourced and negative in tone, where there is no neutral version to revert to, should delete the article without discussion (see Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion criterion G10 for more details)."

I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons.

BTW, I've fixed your footnote. Thanks again for speedily curing the clear BLP violation.David in DC (talk) 05:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
