It is ostensibly about controversial subreddits, but is basically all about him.- The Devil's Advocate tlk. What you have done is created an article that is basically a pseduo-biography and focuses solely on the negative aspects of the living subject. You didn't remove anything that wouldn't be completely suitable in a bio.If you think there are glaring omissions, they can of course be added back in. I would contend that most of the removed content was fluff, redundant or not particularly notable, the source article is quite long considering the subject matter. See WP:WINAC, this person's claim to notability comes directly from involvement in controversial subreddits.You actually removed plenty more than what you mention and generally all of it being material that puts him in a less negative light.- The Devil's Advocate tlk. It is a policy that demands an overall stricter interpretation of our other content policies. WP:BLP does not apply solely to unsourced or poorly-sourced contentious information.I don't see where this article is giving him an editorialized or unfair treatment, but if you see poorly-sourced contentious information about anyone on here or anywhere else it's your right to remove it. If bias is an issue, WP:COATRACK states that it is inappropriate to "even out the percentage of bias" by adding fluff, such as minute details of a subject's life. Material that was removed in the move was generally non-notable, such as mundane information regarding Brutsch's career history and details about how he found the website. This is following through with that suggestion. Many in the AfD argued for the notability of these controversial communities, and suggested a merge to an article about these communities, or the surrounding controversy.Breadblade ( talk) 20:21, (UTC) This is just a typical WP:POVFORK and BLP coatrack as most of it is just negative information about Brutsch taken from the original article, cleansed of most of the material that would put him in a more favorable light.- The Devil's Advocate tlk. Narrowing down the discussion of the controversy surrounding controversial subreddits to the discussion of just one person doesn't make much sense, when you consider that dozens of moderators and tens of thousands of users contributed to the maintenance and content of these communities, and Brutsch hasn't been active in their maintenance for at least six months. If anything it has less emphasis on Brutsch outside of the circumstances of his outing. The main argument I saw against merging is that this article will focus more on the negative aspects of Michael Brutsch. Two others recommended a possible merge, though one specified a merge to the main Gawker and Reddit articles and the other did not specify where. One user noted that he is notable for "the controversy about him being doxxed by Gawker, the offensive subreddits he created (especially "jailbait", which got media attention even before he was doxxed), etc - and once he did a voluntary in-depth interview with CNN." All these things are relevant to this article and have been included. The incident is notable, and that's what this article is about."Īnother said that "I would not be adverse to a separate conversation to rework the page to describe the event that led to the notoriety." This should be so obvious, as the article is about an incident, not a person. I think that the content in the Michael Brutsch article can easily be explained in the context of Controversial Reddit Communities.įrom the latest Michael Brutsch AFD discussion: "Keep and rename.

I propose that Michael Brutsch be merged into Controversial Reddit communities.
