Arrest episode[edit]

@Quisqualis: I fail to see how the additions by User:Natanail Llywelyn are not relevant to her life and career.--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:37, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jasper Deng, I, too, found the arrest episode to be delicious, juicy gosssip. Apparently, you failed to read WP:BLP:

"Biographies of living persons ("BLPs") must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives..."

"Many Wikipedia articles contain material on people who are not well known, even if they are notable enough for their own article. In such cases, exercise restraint and include only material relevant to the person's notability, focusing on high-quality secondary sources."

"Wikipedia is not news, or an indiscriminate collection of information", and definitely not a gossip sheet. --Quisqualis (talk) 02:07, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Quisqualis: BLP is a big concern, but in this case, the source cited is not a tabloid and amply meets the standard for BLP. There's a difference between this and (e.g.) [1]. BLP is not a reason to suppress validly-sourced information, nor does it require that we only cover Haney's gymnastics career. Athletes are people outside of their sports as well.--Jasper Deng (talk) 05:26, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Quisqualis: Haney was a notable student-athlete on the University's gymnastics team at the time of her arrest. Her arrest was documented by reliable sources. I believe my edit falls in line with BLP --Natanail Llywelyn (talk) 00:54, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
