Talk:Taylor Lewan

Alleged Rape Threat
It's important that this documented event be recorded objectively. Earein (talk) 01:06, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I removed the excerpt asserting serious accusations of witness intimidation and threats of rape against Taylor Lewan. The sole source for this allegation is a self-published blog by Douglas M. Smith, an individual who apparently worked briefly for three years (2006-2009) as a pathologist in a University of Michigan laboratory.  There is no indication that this blog has received recognition for reliability as a news source, nor that it is subject to editorial oversight by anyone other than the person writing the blog.  Accordingly, it is not an appropriate source for accusations of criminal misconduct against living persons.  I find no reports in reliable news sources asserting these charges against Lewan.  Lewan is a living person, and our WP:BLP and Libel policy prohibits us from including such serious allegations of criminal misconduct unless sourced to reliable, verifiable sources.  The blog previously cited simply does not fit that bill. Cbl62 (talk) 18:40, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Actually, there is evidence within the leaked police reports.
