Talk:Chris Atkins (filmmaker)

BLP issues
A recent edit which I have just reverted, removed almost the entire biography as "promotional". A similar removal, by the same editor, occurred on 1 October 2016.

There is more to Atkinson than his crime and conviction. Not only does WP:BLP require us to give balanced view, but failing to do so is a disservice to our readers. I'm going to ask at WP:BLPN for someone else to review the article, with a review to restoring the best content from the various versions of the article.

 * Hi Andy, I've left the following response at WP:BLPN: This is the first time we've met. Thank you for returning to the article and for adding the police mugshot of the subject. Please, steady on with the response to my involvement. I appreciate that you started this article and you may have made more edits to it than anyone, and I'm not a threat to your good work. While I would of course welcome others, there's no need to immediately pass it over to a third editor to 'revue and rescue' before we even discuss the matter ourselves. To clarify, I came to this article in response to the banner request by User:Sam Blacketer  for an update. His banner had gone ignored for months, prior to my input. Yes, in updating I cut content that in my assessment is undue. For the record, I've made one edit (now reverted) to the related UKIP: The First 100 Days; it was to echo that same update and create a link to this article, which had not been done before. In case of any misunderstanding, my personal politics is actually against UKIP and Brexit. I'm happy to re-read the guidelines on BLP. Like you, I have concerns about edits to this article. I made one revert to the article. You made one revert to the article. We can work this out together. So let's get off to a good start.-Applefall (talk) 06:21, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Noting for the record that Andy hasn't replied at BLPN for a few days . Nor has he replied here. So I took my talk page discussion to his talk page, and he deleted it, still with no reply: . I'm hereby returning to the article. -Applefall (talk) 02:09, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
