Sexual abuse cases in Brooklyn's Orthodox Jewish community

This doesn't seem an appropriate hook to me, we can not state an "alleged" case as a hook, especially not giving details of what are apparently merely allegations at this point. There are also possible BLP violations in the article, since it gives the names of several accused parties that apparently have not been convicted. This is potentially problematic and I think it would be a very good idea to have the people at the BLP notice boartd look it over before it is featured in DYK. I have brought up the article at WP:BLPN. I recommend the article be withdrawn from DYK. ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 15:36, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Agree with Maunus - there are enough possible BLP problems with that article featuring unproven allegations anyway, without featuring them in DYK hooks. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:24, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Hell no! Are you out of your tiny mind? Or just trolling? Please read WP:BLP policy. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:11, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
