Talk:Leo Housakos

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Allegations

I have done a bit of investigating, and it appears that the allegations made against Housakos appear in reliable sources. Per WP:PUBLICFIGURE such allegations should be included if they are noteworthy, relevant, and well-documented, even if the subject denies them (although such a denial should be included in the section). I think the ones described in this article meet that criteria. Keeping this in mind, I will attempt to edit the article in a fair way guided by this policy. If you disagree with any edits I make, please bring them up here. ―NK1406 ^{talk•contribs} 16:37, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request for comment

Should any allegations of wrongdoing that are later shown to be false be completely removed from the article or should they be kept with an explanation that they were shown to be false? ―NK1406 ^{talk•contribs} 02:44, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Include but with provisions: In my opinion, if the allegations received significant coverage in reliable sources, the information should be included, but it should be written in a neutral manner. Additionally, the fact that the allegations were proven false must be included. The way the information is currently written doesn't abide by BLP rules and the citations are currently on the page as external links, which isn't appropriate.

Include with provisions Notable rejected allegations should be included, but it should be clear they were rejected. Please do not use ALL CAPS in headers. Hipocrite (talk) 15:53, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Include with provisions Presumably, those allegations should be included if have sufficient coverage by (reliable) media/news; in the meanwhile, it ought to be definitely mentioned in regards to its being false, i.e. "with an explanation that they were shown to be false".

Include with provisions per points mentioned above. However, it should clearly state that they have been falsified. Idealigic (talk) 20:17, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
