Line 275:
I notice repeat deletions of the entire section on the Indigenous Peoples' March incident. The section is reliably sourced and seems due weight to be included in the article given the widespread coverage of the incident. I think it would help if the editor deleting this entire section could instead be specific about concerns. If you believe there is information in section which is not supported by the references cited, that needs to be discussed and addressed. Per [[WP:BLP]], content about living persons must be reliably sourced. Currently, it appears this information is reliably sourced, unless the references cited are being misrepresented somehow. Instead of just repeated deletions, please discuss and be specific about concerns so they can be addressed. [[User:DynaGirl|DynaGirl]] ([[User talk:DynaGirl|talk]]) 22:25, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
== Should only positive information from the [[WP:RS]] be added? ==
Not sure how to add the following to the article:
Phillips was overwhelmed by the loss of his family, his troubled upbringing and the lack of ties to his own culture and turned to crime and drinking. For the next 14 years, he used the skills he learned in the Marines to work as a thug-for-hire.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Josh Funk |title=A split feather |url=http://www.dailynebraskan.com/a-split-feather/article_eb7ce78a-33b3-569b-9ccb-cee26e0570a4.html |accessdate=22 January 2019 |work=[[The Daily Nebraskan]] |date=11 January 1999 |quote=Phillips was overwhelmed by the loss of his family, his troubled upbringing and the lack of ties to his own culture and turned to crime and drinking.For the next 14 years, he used the skills he learned in the Marines to work as a thug-for-hire.}}</ref>
This would nicely fill out the two-decade-plus gaping hole in between the subject's military service and activist career. It seems Wikipedia does not forbid adding [[WP:RS]] info which is less than hagiographic about biographical subjects. If you go to John Hemingway article, for example, it says he "embarked on "alcoholic sprees" (per one source) and if you go to Woody Allen's -who's alive-, it says he "had an eight-year affair with Allen that began in 1976 when she was 16 years old and thus underage" (per one source). A don't even go into the Roman Polanski page -he´s also alive-, yet the lead paragraph says in Wikipedia's voice "Polanski was arrested and charged with drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl," before it drolly notes the guy won several Oscars afterwards. How should we add the "thug for hire" info? [[User:XavierItzm|XavierItzm]] ([[User talk:XavierItzm|talk]]) 22:45, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
