GiantSnowman, I'm failing to see how this is due for inclusion. Two people with common surnames are not related; this is really incredibly trivial. there's a media source specifically about this. - not really, there's an article about one praising the other which just says "He is no relation to Louie Barry, but" and then no further reference in any other part of the article. Also, the policy you cite (WP:BRD) specifically says "BRD is never a reason for reverting. Unless the reversion is supported by policies, guidelines or common sense, the reversion is not part of BRD cycle", yet you've reverted my edit here citing BRD. Is this not a breach of that, and is the WP:ONUS not meant to be on the editor trying to argue for inclusion? I know you're an administrator on this project, so I'm sure you're acutely familiar with this, so please do explain. Thanks. — ser!(chat to me - see my edits) 10:55, 24 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Two footballers from the same area (the older very prominent and famous), so there has been speculation about them being related or not, and there are multiple media reports dealing with the issue - 1, 2, 3 etc. GiantSnowman 11:01, 24 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Right, well thanks for that clarification at least. I'm still not completely sold on it being due for inclusion, but the fact it's been covered in other sources makes it slightly more understandable. Could you provide some sort of clarification for the latter part of my question? It'd be good to know if BRD is a valid or wrong reason to revert for future reference. Thanks. ser!(chat to me - see my edits) 11:07, 24 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Alright, I figure I'd have gotten an answer by now if you wished to answer, so I'll continue to labour under the knowledge you breached this guideline. I note you've already been put on indefinite review for having not left explanations in edit summaries, so in future please consider explaining why you're reverting in the edit summary rather than just saying "last good version", which pretty much implies it's vandalism when it's not. Many thanks. ser!(chat to me - see my edits) 00:54, 10 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
