Unsourced info

[edit]

If you look in the edit history, you'll see that the subject of this article wants a piece of information left out of the article. I've reviewed the article and the refs. That info does not appear in any of them. Since this is a biography of a living person and since this info has proved contentious, it should not be re-inserted into the article without an iron-clad source.
Even if a source is found, it should not be re-inserted without a consensus to do so being first achieved on this talk page. David in DC (talk) 21:13, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have sourced it. I understand the issue, but for someone who takes part in a sport, classified as having that disability, this is not an untrue statement. Not sure why we need a consensus? FruitMonkey (talk) 22:59, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Because blp requires consensus before re-inserting contentious material. Please revert your insertion. David in DC (talk) 00:47, 16 September 2016 (UTC) David in DC (talk) 00:47, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Because it is not contentious. Its actually required in the paralympics to have their disabilities heavily documented because it is integral to how they weight scoring etc. Were this an actor, politician etc and it was unrelated to their notability, that argument would be correct. Here not only is it integral to the basis for their notability, it can easily be reliably sourced from primary and secondary (from 2012) sources. The subject might not want that information documented, and I sympathise (anyone who has heard me get wound up about accessibility issues on WP cant accuse me of not thinking of the disabled first) but this is where there is no BLP case to answer. I imagine the reason it was unsourced specifically, is that it can be sourced from the event they compete in. Only in death does duty end (talk) 09:28, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
