Concerns about "Early Life" section and violation of BLP Policy

Latest comment: 1 year ago3 comments3 people in discussion

Hi. New-ish to wikipedia here. I believe the early life section of this article may violate the BLP Policy in regards to "Using the subject as a self-published source". Namely, this section seems to be based almost entirely on his tweets — contradicting "5. the article is not based primarily on such sources". Would like to hear others' thoughts.

Sadly I agree. Though I'll say it's hard to have any sources on someone who is anonymous. 174.160.69.136 (talk) 06:27, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

The whole article should be deleted or reworked extensively. It's all tweets and half-truths. Even the name 'Derek Guy' is a pseudonym, so the page shouldn't be suggesting that it's the name of a real person. StrangeBanana (talk) 17:30, 20 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Why not use an actual photo of him instead of the 1950’s guy from which he takes inspiration? Where else on Wiki would this be acceptable? 2600:100B:B1E0:DC64:C946:2B34:2128:608B (talk) 16:38, 24 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
