Wilson McCutchan[edit]

The info that Wilson McCutchan is the roommate of Ben Ondrus has been added to this article by the following IP addresses:

First, since no source is ever given, this violates Wikipedia's policy of verifiability. Second, even if the information is true, adding trivial elements about a non-notable individual marginally involved in the relatively unknown subject's personal life does not rise to the level of encyclopedic.

Now let us consider whether the information is indeed true.

The above listed IP addresses have also inserted the name Wilson McCutchan into over 35 other articles.
