@Zaereth: and @Wallyfromdilbert: Hello. Based on the new additions of land grabbing and sexual assault claims, they amount to verifiable, independent work that is neutral. Esther Passaris a notable person in her own right gave actual interviews to public media about actual allegations against Mwangi. On the land grabbing issue again i feel it is clearly referenced from actual court records. I feel this addition is appropriate and relevant because James mwangi is a public figure whose conduct in the public domain is of interest to anyone. I don't see what qualifies to describe this as inappropriate. I am not targeting Mwangi neither do i have anything against him. But i don't see why its practical to write about him, omit some public available info and use some others when they all pass WP:GNG.
Thanks for starting this discussion here! There is also a discussion going on at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#James Mwangi that you may also want to comment on. The primary concern seems to be the quality of the sources being cited, especially for the sexual assault accusations. While I think the article subject is almost certainly a public figure, these types of allegations need to have high quality independent sourcing, and many of these sources seem to be news blogs or more tabloid-style sources without a strong reputation for fact-checking or editorial oversight as discussed in the policy on reliable sources (see WP:RS). High quality sources for this type of information make sure that it's not only verified information but also noteworthy enough to be included. Given that the content has been removed by a few editors now and may violate WP:BLP policies, it is probably best to try to determine whether their is consensus first before restoring the material to the page. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 03:44, 2 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
