Broken Link

While reverting several of my edits to Zizians you posted a broken link in the edit summary. Where did you mean to link to? Loki (talk) 21:39, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Apologies, I just undid my reverts because of that. I can reply to you on the article Talk page, but it was this:

Talk:Zizians#c-Patternbuffered-20250304110000-PARAKANYAA-20250304064500

I think it's pointless to keep rewriting the article until we come to some consensus on WP:BLPCRIME. (I do think your edits were in good faith.) Patternbuffered (talk) 21:43, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Ah, okay. I'll respond there but here's a quick summary of what I plan to say:

The people in question are unambiguously not public figures, even Ziz herself (who is the only one where this is IMO even a question). Having your name in the paper is not by itself enough to make you a public figure or WP:BLPCRIME would never apply. While it's possible to be an involuntary public figure, that's more for cases like John Wayne Gacy who are genuinely known to the public as a result of what they did. These people aren't anywhere near that. Loki (talk) 21:50, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Fair enough! I'll respond there, thanks. Patternbuffered (talk) 21:54, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
