[edit] Molestaion allegations against michael Jackson

Molestaion allegations against michael Jackson (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This entire article is one huge BLP violation. And none of the sources is reliable. Corvus cornix 22:10, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete I agree, and would go as far as suggesting speedy deletion might be in order, given the unsourced allegations about several living people. The GQ articles would presumably be considered to be a reliable source, but they are listed as external links and the article contains allegations that are not supported by these articles (including anything after 1994, when they were published.) On a less serious note, I find the mispelling in the title, and the fact that it has not been corrected for 2 and half years, a very discouraging sign for the accuracy of the article --Slp1 23:25, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Please note that the supposed GQ article is not hosted on a GQ website, but on another site altogether, with no evidence that anything in the article really has anything to do with GQ at all. Corvus cornix 23:53, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as a BLP minefield. If it's kept, fix the spelling of the title. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 04:46, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
• Wait for reliable sources. Side note, the mispelling in the title is relatively recent (it was redirected Nov 1 2007 from "1993 child molestation allegations against Michael Jackson", which was the long standing title (see Michael Jackson controversies for verification of this). Irony ensues; this article didn't have any attention until it was redirected to the misspelled title. Still, I would say delete without sources for the BLP issues. Surely good sources can be found??

Thanks for clarifying the name change thing, I looked carefully, but not in the right place it seems. One learns something new everyday! Slp1 23:57, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, unsourced POV rubbish. Neil ☎ 10:49, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Dismal quality of sourcing for such serious allegations against not just one but multiple living persons. Badly written polemic (that's a fancy word for soapboxing, something that Wikipedia isn't for) into the bargain. Hmm, that's really just repeating what Neil said: badly sourced POV rubbish.

• comment If this article is deleted, the point is moot, but if it is kept, will someone please fix the title to be spelled correctly? I'll do it myself if I notice it first. Keeper | 76 20:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Strong Delete Does the info in Michael Jackson and People v. Jackson articles are enough for this stuff? That's a very bad article--JForget 00:41, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Utter garbage, no reliable sources, a magnet for vandals and editors keen on speculation and vulgarity. Unsalvagable. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 20:07, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Delete Smear article against the young man who made the allegations against Jackson. Ineptly handled closure of November 17 debate has turned "Molestaion allegations" into a redirect to this. Mandsford (talk) 22:23, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
