BLP on talkpages

Please remember wikipedias policy in regard to living people WP:BLP applies just as much on talkpages as it does in articles. Please take care not to be attacking and opinionated on the talkpage, please present discussions neutrally in compliance with[REDACTED] WP:NPOV policy. - Off2riorob (talk) 21:00, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Where have you archived previous content???

Why was so much discussion (some negative, but certainly compliant with all Wiki policies) deleted from this page? Its almost as if some people are editing entries about themselves and removing content they find embarassing.(talk) 00:34, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

New secret police probe into Labour MP's £500,000

Should this Telegraph article dated 30/09/2012 be added? Article : <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/labour/9577876/Secret-police-probe-into-Labour-MPs-500000.html>: caption reads " A police investigation into a high-profile Labour MP discovered that he apparently held hundreds of thousands of pounds in a series of bank accounts, The Daily Telegraph can disclose." 80.42.237.65 (talk) 22:06, 30 September 2012 (UTC)Plebophilus B Wildebeest80.42.237.65 (talk) 22:06, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Joseph Anton: A Memoir AKA Salman Rushdie

Anything to do with wp:blp needs to come from a reliable source or better still from wp:Suggested sources. Rushdie's comments can't be corroborated, aren't republished in a reliable source and Vaz was denied the right to reply he would get if it were published in a reliable source. I don't think we should include it here but feel free to discuss or put it on the Joseph Anton: A Memoir article -not one of whose references mention Vaz -with a full citation and fair summary -avoiding wp:undue. For the record, whilst there is an implication in the removed text that Vaz was being hypocritical, there is nothing inconsistent in condemning both the fatwa and the book. JRPG (talk) 09:18, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Should have added that the way it was written falls foul of original research by synthesis. JRPG (talk) 11:36, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Female Genital Mutilation

Added short section on Vaz chairing an investigation into FGM as per the Evening Standard newspaper.86.163.52.147 (talk) 19:38, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

MCFI

Are we expected to know what MCFI stands for? 86.185.218.76 (talk) 21:22, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

BLP- Breaking story

Let's be careful about this. The BBC are reporting the breaking story on Broadcasting House (radio programme) but all the online sources are from tabloids for now. Tigerboy1966 08:38, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

BBC website now reporting on the reports, plus an unnamed party spokeman. Tigerboy1966 08:59, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

Now in the Telegraph, including his resignation as chair of the Home Affairs Committee. RolandR (talk) 10:04, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

The Sky News article has "standing aside". They are the best source on this issue at present, because their source, Naz Shah, has spoken to Keith Vaz. Direct quotes from Vaz are reprints of comments he has given to tabloids. Philip Cross (talk) 10:23, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

The Independent quotes Vaz as saying he intends to stand down on Tuesday (although the headline implies that he's already stood down.) Let's wait until then to discover the outcome of that meeting ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 11:24, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

Edit semi-protected request 4 September 2016

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Keith Vaz. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Add "Category:LGBT_politicians_from_England" for Keith Vaz. A man who is reported to have used male prostitutes (and so what if the original reported originated from the Sunday Mirror?! The Sunday Mirror is no more of a "tabloid" these days than the Independent, but the Indy is somehow alright because most Editors somehow "just happen" to agree with what the latter writes, politically!) ... anyway, self-explanatory, really! I mean, he is reported to have used "poppers" (prominent in the British gay scene) as well! Of course he is either homosexual or bisexual! -- 87.102.116.36 (talk) 15:26, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

Two reported instances of Keith Vaz having sex with men is insufficient to add him to the LGBT category. Sorry, but your opinion that the Sunday Mirror is equivalent to The Independent in reliability is not Misplaced Pages policy. See Identifying reliable sources and Biographies of Living Persons for more information. Philip Cross (talk) 15:37, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

Or just systematic, brazen internal Wikiepdia bias formed by some 20-to-35-year-old with a degree or two, and who either support Jeremy Corbyn, Owen Smith or Tim Farron, masquerading behind the rules! ... Cue Johann Hari! They don't even print at all, these days! Just because they have longer articles with more paragraphs, doesn't mean that they are not really just a Centre-Left tabloid, in terms of content! They are, certainly these days! Oh, well, never mind, and anyway, off-topic! -- 87.102.116.36 (talk) 16:02, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
