WP:BLP and WP:BLPIMAGE

edit

Per WP:BLP, Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion, so I have done this twice for the mugshot image sourced to a blog that may be related to a "defamation campaign" referenced in sources in the Further reading section of the article.

In addition, per WP:BLPIMAGE, Images of living persons should not be used out of context to present a person in a false or disparaging light. This is particularly important for police booking photographs (mugshots), or situations where the subject did not expect to be photographed. Because a police booking photograph can imply that the person depicted was charged with or convicted of a specific crime, a top-quality reliable source with a widely acknowledged reputation for fact-checking and accuracy that links the photograph to the specific incident or crime in question must be cited. It appears to be disparaging of this subject to include what may be an old mugshot from a blog in this article, with limited context that also raises WP:BLPCRIME issues. If further context is developed and a reliable image can be obtained, inclusion of the image may still be WP:UNDUE in this brief article because of the overall focus on her later career.
