Remove signature please?
Could somebody please remove the copy of the signature that was just added to this page? I don't think there's any good reason for it to be there, and it implicated privacy and security issues.

Thanks. 73.36.169.223 (talk) 18:42, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

 * The signature comes from a published, reliable source written by Baude to announce support for P. Casey Pitts available on the Senate Judiciary Committee website [1 ]. It could provide value to the article, especially given that Baude provided the signature himself in a place where it would be viewable publicly (judiciary.senate.gov).

 * I think including a signature on a document submitted to a government body is at best on the borderline of someone "publishing" their signature. But  I also think the more important factor is whether the person is a public figure who either regularly publishes their signature as part of their job or is so prominent that they could not reasonably expect their signature not to be reproduced on the page everybody is going to see when Googling them.
 * If Baude were the judicial nominee in question, and certainly if he were a judge, I would be comfortable concluding his signature could be included&mdash;signing stuff is a part of the job for judges, and for public officials generally. For law professors, not so much. —Emufarmers(T/C) 07:14, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
