The charge is as follows: "It is an article about a real person that does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject."

Yes, this article is of a real person. However, the article indicates the importance and significance of the subject. Moreover, I have strengthened the importance and significance of the subject using references to a lawsuit complaint, video of Congressional testimony, video of a television interview, and a news article.

[edit] Biographies of living persons

It is extremely important for us to remember that "Controversial material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous. A couple editors have repeatedly removed the words "alleged" and generally treated Jones' civil complaint as if it were a legal finding. Treating her allegations as facts is potentially libelous. Further removals of "alleged", or additions of text which states definitively that a rape occurred, will be reverted and you could potentially be blocked from editing. This is a rule which we need to take seriously. Please see Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons for more information. Rhobite (talk) 14:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
