limited media attention than it actually did. It's in the nature of Knowledge (XXG) that our editors often look intensively at a particular subject, and find information from obscure sources that an ordinary reader would find only after spending hours on Google or after traveling to a major research library to consult a printed source. That's precisely what makes Knowledge (XXG) valuable to many readers. I can't see this situation as one for excluding the information. If a notable person, clearly meriting a bio (such as a statewide elected official), has been arrested on cocaine charges, and the arrest can be properly documented, that's legitimate encyclopedic content. Yes, including it in our article may well cause the notable person to be even more upset than s/he was when the only coverage was less widely available. So what? Our primary obligation is to our readers, not to people who might prefer the suppression of significant, verified information about themselves.

in advance if I misrepresent anyone's viewpoint. But, as demonstrated by the arbitration case, Doc glasgow and JzG (both admins) have been active on one side of these disputes, and Violetriga and myself (again, both admins) on the other. Clearly, it would be pointless having a "two-admin rule" if the deleting admin could just fire off an email to someone who consistently shares their own stance on BLP, and then say "we've had adequate discussion". I was thinking that one of the many hundreds of admins who were not involved in the bdj case, and who have not been active in the development of the BLP policy, would be a better choice as the "second admin". I won't revert your edits for now, but we'll see how things develop.

take, which media are considered to be reliable, and so forth. The statement, "...much of the media coverage surrounding her as an individual focuses on the underage drinking incident" overlooks the tendency of some forms of media to sensationalize, especially about public figures (or their daughters). Should Knowledge (XXG) reflect that media tendency or not? Seems to me that this is a pivotal issue in the current debates over BLP. I don't think the essay provides an adequate resolution for this. #1 is also ambiguously stated. "Widely known" is a fuzzy criterion, with no objective measure. The text following attempts to clarify, but could be improved.
1622:- can you please give it a sanity check?" The reply would either be "that deletion lookd fine", or "not sure about that, can we discuss further by e-mail?" If both admins agree, then they should both be prepared to defend the deletion against anyone questioning it. If the second admin raises a concern, then the original admin may learn something. Basically a small step before a full-blown DRV, and an increase in communication (which can only be good). What we want to avoid, is inexperienced admins deleting stuff and then posting the action at WP:ANI or WP:AN to get it reviewed, as that might start a unnecessary forest fire. 2566:
prevented for potential victims by having that article - and my ethical system makes it clear which it is ethical to care more about. On the positive side, a barely notable person doing good (in whatever ethical system you want to assume; perhaps charitable works, religion, political advocacy, etc...) there is harm by making those good works less prominent when the article is removed. So far as I can tell, the community has not seriously considered this two-edged nature of "do no harm", but in some situations I have seen, "do no harm" was a better reason for having content than for removing it.
979:
I think some reminder that sources must be reliable, independent, and verifiable is needed, if "we won't always know what sources NBC or CBS uses" is a serious response to the suggestion that even "widely known" information must be sourced. I also included a time period in order to eliminate the kind of recentist "event of the week" kind of coverage that is so popular these days as "entertainment" in news broadcasts. I don't think an event that is covered for a week and then forgotten should necessarily qualify. Just explaining those changes here, since they're now gone. -

published the victim's name, or the victim him/herself talked freely about it to the media. Again, in the case of the politician, the test would be applied. I can think of few politicians who don't face enormous media scrutiny, so I imagine a suspected fraud would be well-publicized, and it would thus pass the inclusion test. I find that having specific criteria to clarify the concept of harm much more helpful than asking people to make or accept subjective judgments. -
726:"historically significant and notable information" then you will be deleting the articles on individual pokemon and all those historically significant bands, pull the other one. This whole wannabe policy is a POV warriors delight. It is based around the idea that you remove information, not a good way to build an encyclopedia. Why does "historically significant and notable information" only apply to stuff that should be in the encyclopedia, the shit always remains. 4054:. The main issue is whether to include a US Congressional campaign finance issue in a BLP for which we have only very limited sourcing on the rest of the subject's bio (we have four reliable secondary sources on the campaign finance issue, and only six on all the rest of the subject's life, three of which come from the same outlet.) The campaign finance issue was not in the original entry, but came up in the search for more sources at 2442:, a continuous discussion involving the inclusion of photographs which show naked women whom have voiced their opposition to having the images removed should not have even been eligible for the lengthly discussion and long delay it took to get them removed, since it is a clearly extension of "Do no harm." To make this unambiguous, and to qualify them for speedy deletion I feel as though this policy should be made official. 33: 909:
But, as the ArbCom has tacitly endorsed such actions as appropriate, I felt it was best to have a guideline to clarify exactly when this is allowable. And I strongly agree that the reason for the deletion of the material should be discussed somewhere - that's why I advocated the "two-admin rule", so that it isn't just one admin's arbitrary decision. I will rewrite parts of the essay to strengthen this.
407:
How about, instead of "the Jenna Bush test" it could be renamed to "the Inclusion Test" and trust that its position in the article would make the meaning obvious. Another name might be better, just it also seems obvious that anyone who has a personal grudge against the Bushes might be delighted to see Jenna's name mentioned, again, more prominently than necessary in the context of her "teenager goof."

anything, but what should matter is anything that can be pointed to that would show some lack of security if a year of birth were more widely known. I wouldn't remove a year of birth without strong evidence or a very cogent argument or, preferably, both. If you get either, it would be worth sharing with other editors, perhaps here, because then a change in policy should be considered.
2817:
etc., made a request to remove what the initials stand for, apparently because they simply disliked their given name. Now, I'm sure this article subject was just innocently making a request of the type that is commonly made to magazines—that they prefer their name written in such a form—but in the context of an encyclopedia this is not a request that should I think be granted.

discussion, attempt to improve the content, and then, after the discussion, judge whether you can justify restoring the content. This works the other way around as well. If someone restores content that you have removed, point out to them that you said in the edit summary that you feel the material does harm, explain why, revert them, and initiate discussion. Make clear that you

to their career--if people can keep it hidden, we of course dont start OR to unearth the data, and we do not report exact day unless it is very widely known since it can be used to actually breech privacy of records, and of course not the year for children, also unless very widely known. Adults with non-sensitive careers and obvious sources is a little absurd.
3025:"5) Quote me a good book, not a news report, about someone's life, and I'll accept it as a quotable source without blinking." Thats not WP policy on sources and of course removes one of the main advantages of having an online encyclopedia its ability to be up to the minute. 3and4 but notable (in your opinion only) people have the time to do that? 3012:
spend the rest of his live checking WP? Odds that someone else will are neglegible, buried in the over 200,000 "cat:living peaple" articles. 5) Quote me a good book, not a news report, about someone's life, and I'll accept it as a quotable source without blinking. 6) Yes it is your fault, did *you* bothered to check? And it's my fault to. -
2989:, about his life?! More likely than not someone will sooner or later "improve" the article by adding other details. That would be an invasion of privacy. Not to mention that false statements persisted, in at least a well know case, for months in a relatively high profile biography. How long will a false claim last on something like this? - 226:"1. Is the information already widely known? If so, and if it has appeared in numerous mainstream news sources, then it is probably suitable to be included in the article. If the information has only appeared in a few tabloid sources, local newspapers, or websites of dubious quality, then it is not appropriate to include it. 2258:" People tend to take the exact wording fo policy quite literally when using it in AFD debates, so I don't want this article to start an accidental precedent for the length of significant coverage. Perhaps it should just say something along the lines of "appeared in significant coverage by multiple reliable publications"? 794:, in which the only sourced information we can put is "John Doe was accused of involvement in the Big Bad 2008 Embezzlement Scandal." That's not a biography, and we would be violating NPOV's requirement of due weight by presenting that one incident as the sum total of that person's life. On the other hand, when a person 3375:
concealment of where he went to college, would we honor that? What if he claimed it required the concealment of one of the positions in his career? The basic rule of Knowledge (XXG) is common sense. It is just such claims as this that make me concerned about any special provisions for living people beyond V and NPOV.
232:"3. Is the information essential to the subject's notability? Although Ms. Bush is notable as the daughter of a serving head of state, much of the media coverage surrounding her as an individual focuses on the underage drinking incident. As such, the information can be seen as essential to the article. 4007:
In response to criticism over the actions taken, Wales stated that no Knowledge (XXG) policies were broken, and that relevant processes were followed. Peter Sussman of the Society of Professional Journalists' ethics committee likened the description of Wales involvement to that of a newspaper editor,

we got it right the first time. Frankly, a relatively incomprehensible request, which well explains why I think the general defefence paid to the wishes of the subject is inappropriate. This is more usual in the case of performing artists of various sorts, where at least it has some actual connection
3543:
From my point of view, I don't think it is relevant whether you or I can think of a reason why the college a subject went to might be sensitive. Normally of course, college is not sensitive information, so a circumstance in which it is "sensitive" is going to be uncommon. So please do not dismiss my

IMDB is accepted for noncontroversial biographical facts (remembering that he birth of some people there may be controversial) and it gives the FULL date of his birth. We have no basis in policy for removing year of birth at the request of the subject--the BLP policy is quite specific that we in fact

Further thoughts: If you want to, you can remove unsourced material or material not sourced to a reliable source. I see no source for his birth year (although there's usually a reliable source for that to be found somewhere). I also see quite a few footnotes refering to IMDb.com, which I think may be
3187:
If the birthday is already available in reliable sources then releasing it here would not be a privacy issue. If it is not in a reliable source then we need to remove it because it is a) original research, and b) a potential invasion of privacy. So it all depends on the quality of the source that has

This essay is a good one, though I personally would prefer to keep it an essay. The only thing I dislike concerns the first point of the inclusion test. Right now, it is confusing and contradictory, and will need to be rephrased whether my argument below is agreed upon or not. Before I put forward my

for incompleteness. Bear in mind though that if all you need to say about a CEO is a few sentences about when he was born, and what company he is in charge of, then you could just as well say that at the article about the company, and use a redirect instead. As the information expands (eg. CEO of one

For certain "must have" categories, such as CEOs of very large companies, former US Congressmen, etc., the initial article may be a stub using information taken from the company's web site. Such woefully incomplete and potentially unbalanced articles should not be deleted as long as the person holds
1938:
I think adding "temporary"/"provisional" etc. to the edit/deletion summary is often useful, even when the deleting editor/admin believes the material/article cannot be restored in any shape or form. This is still a wiki and bold-revert-discuss-consensus still applies. The main difference with non-BLP
1836:
Administrators' noticeboard? No thanks. Every troll who ever bore malice to Knowledge (XXG) watches it. Requiring an entry there for sensitive deletions would be very, very stupid. In most cases a review by a few admins should be enough. We trust administrators to perform speedies, surely we can
1210:
Ms Bush's underaged drinking incident is of small significance but I think it should be included because we wouldn't want to airbrush significant incidents out of a person's biography. The Argentina visit, where the twins were asked to leave the country by their own embassy, is of greater importance

I made these changes in an effort to clarify, but they've been reverted. The edit comment makes no sense to me. Reliable news media always give their sources for notable or potentially controversial statements. The more reliable the media, the more likely that information they provide is sourced.
4023:
Knowledge (XXG) would currently like to pretend somebody doesn't exist, their existence can't be mentioned in related articles, and an article page may not be made regarding the person/event/situation. Oversight will also scrub their reference in related articles. In the interest of fair disclosure

Subject A has an area of notability. A is also a law officer or government agent working undercover. A's notability is not associated with their undercover work. Person X whom they are investigating went to the same college or university. If X makes the connection "Wait a minute, I went to Old Ivy
3533:
Moreover, even with my limited experience, I know that SOME Knowledge (XXG) editors and administrators do not approach such requests with the concerns and wellbeing of the subject foremost in their mind. They approach with the POV that Knowledge (XXG) can and will publish information unless there is
3493:
The things that are obviously relevant we remove immediately without discussion: dates of birth, names of children, address, phone number, email, exact location of workplace, and the like. We remove even birthyear and age of children on request, because of obvious risk factors. (Though of course for

Sure, but knowing the year of birth for an adult-- especially when it is available from the most obvious source on the internet, even more obvious for this person than Knowledge (XXG), detracts nothing from safety.

According to the article Smeaton himself said, less than two weeks after the events: «Would you stop it with all this hero worship?». Harm comes from turning a short burst of public exposure by the media into a permenent one in here. Although the main point against it is that WP is not the news, and
2871:
We should not write news. News should go to Wikinews, not WP. Sure many prefer to write them here, for greater visibility, but if those went and wrote good news articles there both would improve. Wikinews would inherit some of the rather good news reports, and news writers we have at WP; and WP will
2816:
There should be limits to this practice. Specifically, there must be safeguards against the arbitrary removal of information on the personal whim of the article subject. I recall an instance where a writer, who is known under their real name but commonly uses initials in the style of "T. S. Eliot"
2543:
I'm not sure the reverse isn't true. Quite often, the short paragraph in the larger article will draw more eyeballs, whereas the permastub will sit forgotten. If and when the amount of source material increases over time (as, for a CEO, it generally will), it can always be split back out once it can
2296:
Section 5.1, Removal of sourced material if the person is non-notable is unnecessary--the place to deal with that is AfD. The result otherwise is simply the practice of removing what content there is from a borderline article, and then deleting it., This is something to be discourage--nay, rejected,
2129:
Fair enough - please edit the "suggested procedure" section to reflect what you think is most consistent with the ArbCom decision and reasonable practice. The problem is that, if the material has been deleted and has to stay deleted, non-admins simply can't view it - I can't see any way around that.
1995:
The presumption of privacy has been established by ArbCom as a principle. I don't particularly like it, but there's not much that can be done to change it. The aim of this guideline is to quantify exactly when it should apply, and what should be done, so that the whole thing dosen't get out of hand.
1672:
It may be in the spirit of "do no harm" to remove information about a criminal conviction from the biography of a rapist, but such an action indirectly causes harm to the victims. It may be in the spirit of the principle to remove information about a suspected fraud perpetrated by a person (assuming

The reason I wrote "uninvolved" admin was to ensure that two administrators who think alike on BLP (and hold views which are outside the general consensus) don't simply co-operate and decide what should be done, without consulting anyone else. I'm going to have to give examples here, and I apologise
1464:
I strongly support making some variant of "first do no harm" part of our rules. I've seen a few cases of BLP articles where criticism by political opponents is blown up into grossly exaggerated negative statements by opponents of the articles' subjects, with the precise aim of damaging the subjects'

I think this is a very important point to consider. The test actually violates point three of the test in my mind. I think the test is sound, however the test should be based on a fictional situation. Even if the fictional situation used mimics a factual situation to some degree, or a combination of
229:"2. Is the information definitive and factual? Knowledge (XXG) is not in the business of speculation, or publishing dubious allegations, unless such allegations are notable in themselves. In particular, possibly false allegations that would harm an individual's life significantly should be avoided. 3600:
The article subject has on past occasions enlisted his students to be surrogate editors for him on this point. Seeing as it has come down to an edit war in an area that seems to be somewhat ill-defined, and for which not large numbers of other editors have expressed firm opinions, I'll keep out of
3342:
Thank you. I can understand that if subject Abc tells us a "fact" about themselves, including it without checking might bias the article to their POV. But in this case, it's not a matter of including possibly biased information. The request is to leave out birth year. This does not introduce bias.
3218:
elsewhere (and likely that's a matter of judgment, but so be it), then removing it here does no good to the subject and hurts the article. It seems to me that it needs to be demonstrated that a year of birth alone would be of any value in identity theft. Legal counsel can -- and usually will -- say
3122:
Information from tabloids and dubious websites is unreliable, and should be excluded on those grounds. Knowledge (XXG) is here to provide information, and one of the good things about Knowledge (XXG) is that it provides little known information - provided that it is reliable and relevant. There are

2875:
We should not keep news archives. Just pasting several news articles side by side does not make it a encyclopedia article. An encyclopedia article should provide analysis of the subject not simply list reported facts. Sometimes this will fit the "no original research" policy, so we don't need a new

You've got it. In writing the encyclopedia we should not take it upon ourselves to consider whether omitting information for entirely encyclopedic reasons could possibly reduce the exposure of that name. Our purpose is to produce an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. Our standards are different, and

A problem with this proposed guideline is that different editors have different opinions to what is considered harmful, especially when it comes to sourced materials. If preemptive removals are allowed, there can be many disputes coming up due to disagreements. I think that discussion should always

It doesn't contradict the policy. And it's needed because the "do no harm" provision in BLP is so broad and so subjective. The ArbCom has decreed that administrators can delete articles out-of-process, and keep them deleted, if they perceive any BLP concerns. This guideline is intended to make that
2049:
Yes, but just because admins are admonished to delete the articles in violation doesn't mean that the discussion should take place on the admin's noticeboard. Suggesting that deletion discussions per the BLP are solely the purview of admins is incorrect. Once a deletion to prevent possibly libelous

That's really what the section on "Suggested procedure" is about - it basically says that if someone removes info from a BLP article, or an admin deletes such an article citing BLP concerns, they should discuss it, but (unlike in non-BLP cases) it is not appropriate to immediately revert them. Feel

I agree with FloNight here (though I don't on the whole issue). For example, let's say some political intern is caught up in a political embezzlement scandal, but that's all we really know about them. If the scandal is notable and they're a key part of the incident, we should certainly mention them

I think this is an excellent essay and could be very useful, but if I were Jenna Bush I wouldn't want this test named after me. To do so could publicize further her teenager goof, should this become a widely used essay or test, or should it receive mainstream news coverage. Would it be possible to

It's not yet a guideline, so you can edit it if you feel it needs changes. In response to your other comments, in general all three criteria should apply. The only possible exception to the second criterion is where someone is notable primarily for allegations that have been made against them, e.g.

Regarding the second, I suggest that if lack of either of the other two does not serve as sufficient cause to omit or delete something potentially harmful, then it should be separated from the other two and made a criterion in itself. Everything in the encyclopedia should ideally be "definitive and

In the light of recent controversy, I think there's some value to having a framework of guidelines on biography-writing which have the widespread support of the community. Please modify the proposal as needed, or discuss here. 3975:
Knowledge (XXG) has an enforced and undocumented policy/non-disclosed guideline based on a Do No Harm concept despite it's documented rejection here. Information is suppressed to the point where nobody can see it was removed or contested. Suppression can and does take place on article pages about

Not that I necessarily think we need this statement at all, but at any rate the wording should be "relevant to the article",--otherwise it will typically exclude everything except the particular incidents that accounts for most of the notability--and articles are challenged because they include

The real point is, if someone requests that we not publish their alma mater (or their birth year, or if they wear a hearing aid, etc.) because of safety concerns, we as Knowledge (XXG) editors do not have the background information to judge whether there is a "real" issue or whether the request is
3438:
Here and in a similar discussion last month, it seems that I'm out of step with everyone else. Editors seem to opt for a position of: "analyse and discount the subject's concerns. we can publish what we want". Whether you and other editors would accept that characterization I don't know. That is

Sometimes, a person becomes notable solely because inadvertent on their part, and without their consent, information they considered private was released into the public and widely enough reported to become notable. I would like to see discussion and policy about how Knowledge (XXG) should handle
2820:
It should be pointed out that the given name was printed in reliable sources and that the article subject had even been interviewed in a magazine about it, explaining that they simply disliked the name. Such a situation could not involve "harm" in any meaningful way, and I don't see why we should

Honestly, this seems like the first step in moving towards becoming Conservapedia. One of the great things about Knowledge (XXG) is that we can include information if it is sourced reliably, and this is an advantage we have over other forms of media. Knowledge (XXG) is not a tabloid, but Knowledge

Let's consider CWC's hypothetical example of an arrest reported only in a regional newspaper. Suppose that the person is notable but that, for whatever reason, the mainstream media have largely missed the story. Say, for example, that it was the Ravenel indictment, but that it received much more

Rayc, although in principle I agree, I was trying (in writing this essay) to establish a fair compromise that would be acceptable to the ArbCom and to both sides in this dispute. Ideally, we would not give administrators the power to delete things off-the-cuff with vague reasons such as "per BLP".

I agree that the test is a good one (if, as I noted in my query, the criteria are clarified), that Jenna Bush could be an ideal example. However, I think Ned misses the point Jmh makes about how it is titled. A less pointed name might be appropriate; the subject is, after all, about avoiding harm.

One rationale cited by Wales, in complying with the Times's request, was the fact that the media blackout of the story, among major western/English-language news services at least, was relatively effective: "We were really helped by the fact that it hadn't appeared in a place we would regard as a

I suppose many "potentially harmful" content comes from news sources. I guess all of you have eared / read conflicting reports in the news ('there were seven dead as a consequence of this incident', says one, 'five dead, one wounded', says another, etc....). That is, news reports are not reliable
2394:
I disagree. Discussion can take place before or after editing, and it is possible to link to before and after versions in the page history to illustrate any points that need to be made. If there is the possibility of harm, assume good faith on the part of the editor who removed it, engage them in
2092:
Like I said, I actually completely agree with you - controversial BLP deletions should, IMO, be discussed by the whole community at an AfD. However, the ArbCom (in the recent badlydrawnjeff arbitration case) declared completely the opposite. They endorsed out-of-process deletions of articles that

In principle I tend to agree with JamesMLane's comments above. However, it was clearly established by the ArbCom in the recent badlydrawnjeff arbitration case that the idea of "do no harm" will be actively enforced as a part of the BLP policy. As such, I felt that a clear guideline was needed for
921:
Coming back to Rayc's first point, if I may. I agree that the current essay doesn't clarify potential disagreements over sources. I see potential problems with #3 ("essential to her notability") and #1. A lot of the BLP debates on "talk pages" are over media coverage--how much coverage does it
238:
But, this isn't clear: If all three apply, then the information should be included; if none, then it should be removed. First, "included only in general terms" is in itself not a clear guideline, but what about a case in which -- forget about the second item in the list -- either the first or the

But this brings me to the final point: I don't think this kind of event is likely to occur often, and when it does I think we can rely on the deleting administrator to be sensible. It's more important to ensure that other administrators don't abuse their tools. We should probably focus on this

I sure wouldn't mind seeing the Pokecruft gone either (and indeed, a lot of it is being merged, an action which I applaud and wholeheartedly support), but I don't see that as an issue towards "avoiding harm" per se, though I do see it as an issue with having decent inclusion/exclusion standards.

One thing this page doesn't address is cases when "do no harm" is a two-edged sword. For con artists removal of an article can harm the potential future victims of the con artist (scammer, crook, etc...). Indeed, harm to the con artist from having an article is the direct consequence of harm

Yes, I know this proposal points to those policies and more (BLP,NPOV,...). But do we need a new policy saying to respect other policies? Or do we simply need to respect (or add to, or change) the exist ones? I go for respect established policies, there's no need for a new one.

I won't contest your removals - you're right that it's important for a guideline not to read like a binding policy - but I think we may need to work the two-admin thing into it somewhere, even if not as a "rule". I'll try to come up with some compromise wording.
