Hello Orgyen108! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Proposed Tibtan naming conventions
A while back, I posted a new proposal for Tibetan naming conventions, i.e. conventions that can be used to determine the most appropriate titles for articles related to the Tibetan region. This came out of discussions about article titles on Talk:Qamdo and Talk:Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture. I hope that discussions on the proposal's talk page will lead to consensus in favour of making these conventions official, but so far only a few editors have left comments. If you would be interested in taking a look at the proposed naming conventions and giving your opinion, I would definitely appreciate it.

Addtion of controversy statement to Introduction
Dear Orgyen108,

Firstly thank you for your contributions to this Bio and the reformatting. It has improved the look of the article quite considerably, and also now has better sourced material then previously.

Now to the issue you raise. Firstly, the guidelines that are relevant to this issue state that sources be from a verifiable, reliable, published and non-tabloid third party. They are NOT from "poorly sourced references" as you claim in your talk to me:

Challenged or likely to be challenged Main page: WP:SOURCES

Wikipedia's sourcing policy, Verifiability, says that all quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation; material not meeting this standard may be removed. This policy extends that principle, adding that contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced should be removed immediately and without discussion. This applies whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable, and whether it is in a biography or in some other article. Material should not be added to an article when the only sourcing is tabloid journalism. When material is both verifiable and notable, it will have appeared in more reliable sources. [bolded type is my emphasis]

It is clear then that these sources (four of them now) are from verifiable, reliable and published sources. There is stipulation that the sourcing not be from tabloid journalism. It is also clear that "The Guardian" and "The Sunday Times" are not tabloid sources. Cogent Benger is also a reputable documentary producer. So, the added line on controversy in the Introduction is neither "unsourced" or "poorly sourced" or from "tabloid journalism."

Secondly, criticism (as well as praise) should be included in a Bio if it can be reliably sourced. So the guidelines state clearly that not only can criticism be added but "should" be added:

"Balance Further information: Wikipedia:COATRACK

Criticism and praise should be included if they can be sourced to reliable secondary sources, so long as the material is presented responsibly, conservatively, and in a disinterested tone. Do not give disproportionate space to particular viewpoints; the views of tiny minorities should not be included at all. Care must be taken with article structure to ensure the overall presentation and section headings are broadly neutral. Beware of claims that rely on guilt by association, and biased or malicious content." [bolded type is my emphasis]

Further to the above point, it is quite clear that the way in which the statement in question is made ("Significant controversy, due to claims of student abuse have been prominent for much of his career.") is "presented responsibly, conservatively, and in a disinterested tone." It is making the point in a detached and non-sensationalized way. Also, 1 line out of 8 in the introduction, is not giving "disproportionate space to particular viewpoints," particularly considering that there is a section on "Controversy" within the body of the article. Furthermore and importantly, the criticism is also of public interest, as you would not doubt agree that the praise is, which I am not objecting to.

So in conclusion Orgyen108, The inclusion of this brief statement in the introduction addresses all criteria more than sufficiently, as required by guidelines.

Finally while gathering the above information to support this, I did notice the below guideline:

"Avoid self-published sources Shortcut: WP:BLPSPS

Never use self-published sources—including but not limited to books, zines, websites, blogs, and tweets—as sources of material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject (see below). "Self-published blogs" in this context refers to personal and group blogs. Some news organizations host online columns that they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professionals and the blog is subject to the newspaper's full editorial control. Posts left by readers are never acceptable as sources.[4] See below for our policy on self-published images."

Perhaps you would like to give this some consideration, in light of the the amount of sources and content the above relates to in the article.
