Talk:Trayce Thompson

"African-American"

edit

The article says nowhere at all that Thompson is "black" or "African-American". Per WP:EGRS and WP:CATV, we need a reliable secondary source supporting PROSE in the article which supports the categories, or we cannot retain the categories as added by @Natemup:.

He's clearly described as the American son of a Afro-Bahamian American immigrant. natemup (talk) 05:28, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Where? Elizium23 (talk) 08:48, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
The third sentence of the article. natemup (talk) 13:48, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Says nothing about the ethnicity of his parents. That information is easily imported to this article. Do not mistake the presence of a fact in one article as incontrovertible proof for all articles that link to it by association. Please observe the simpler policy of WP:V.

Since it is so easily imported, import it. This talk thread is pointless and more about obstruction than improvement, as is apparently your wont. natemup (talk) 14:14, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Per WP:ONUS, that's your job; if you want material in an article, it's your job to prove it is verifiable. Elizium23 (talk) 14:17, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
And if there's an issue with a claim (though calling the Thompson children African-American is hardly controversial), you as a capable editor have options and the onus as well. WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM natemup (talk) 14:34, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Declined. The request made at Third Opinion has been removed (i.e. declined). Like all other moderated content dispute resolution venues at Wikipedia, Third Opinion requires thorough talk page discussion before seeking assistance. Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 08:04, 2 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
