Allegations and BLP policy
Please ensure any information regarding the current allegations regarding Gurbaksh Chahal are compliant with BLP policy. At this point the any news being reported makes it clear that these are allegations only - if official charges are laid and reported in reliable sources then the information can be presented in the neutral fashion and given the weight that it deserves based on discussion and consensus. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 18:36, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
He's been officially charged with 47 felonies. He allegedly "hit and kicked his girlfriend 117 times over a half-hour period." He's out on $1 million in bail. He's a prominent figure and the prosecution has been covered by the S.F. Chronicle, Examiner and tech outlets. I don't see why this information isn't being included. This profile is already full of puffery. These are public facts about a public person. Unfortunately, the article is now locked down. 98.207.172.163 (talk) 21:47, 10 August 2013 (UTC) JustAInterestedCitizen
- The key word is "allegedly".--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 21:49, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
No the key thing is that he's been officially charged. He's appeared in court. It's been reported in reliable sources. Both SF Gate and SF Examiner have reported pieces. As you yourself wrote "if official charges are laid and reported in reliable sources then the information can be presented". Including the information would completely comply with BLP, while keeping it out would not. 98.207.172.163 (talk) 04:05, 11 August 2013 (UTC)JustAInterestedCitizen
- In order to get additional feedback it may be helpful for you to express your opinion at this open thread. There are more eyes on that noticeboard than on this page.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 20:10, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
There is no reason to leave this out. As stated by 98.207.172.163 he's been officially charged, appeared in court, and pleaded not guilty to the charges as reported by reputable sources (SF Gate and SF Examiner). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.104.128.234 (talk) 22:54, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Anonymous users keep deleting the allegations I added (sourced properly, and written as allegations in compliance with policy). I recommend semi-protecting the page / section where they are located. Maxcherney (talk) 00:48, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Someone needs to add the fact that he plead guilty to these domestic violence charges and someone also needs to ban the PR agent that keeps removing this information 50.136.214.96 (talk) 01:42, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Please change "(born July 17, 1982) is an American internet entrepreneur" to "(born July 17, 1982) is a convicted domestic batterer and American internet entrepreneur" because it better reflects the principal reasons for which the subject is known.

Please change | occupation = Chairman & CEO of RadiumOne to | occupation = Founder of RadiumOne 61.16.236.179 (talk) 08:59, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
- Not done: While I'm sure it's true he is the founder, "Founder" is not an occupation; "Chairman" and "CEO" are. —KuyaBriBriTalk 23:15, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
