I'm considering adding NPOV. It's unlikely I will if only because, well, I don't really know how to actually do it, pardon my noobishness. But to future editors, at least take a look? Thanks.

Such sources are generally considered unreliable for topics outside student life, and even those can be a stretch.
How about stopping the edit warring and discussing potential sources first? The problem with this long-running dispute has always been the poor sources. I think it would be as waste of time to use an RfC or Noticeboard until better sources are found. --

How about giving a source for your claim about Spartan News? I also find it courious when a company specialised in removing content from the new gets everything that isn't unconditional praise removed from their article. //

Liftarn, I'm afraid we may have incompatible views on sourcing and balance.
I'm glad you didn't revert VQuakr, who has similar concerns as mine.
Where do we stand on this? --

I'm not confusing publication format with reliability. Techdirt is insufficiently reliable to support the proposed edit.

Ok, I have used that as a source for the previously blanked section. Now, how do we adress that the major part of the article sounds like an advertisment? //

I don't think an entire paragraph is
due here. Since there is only one cited source, the incident can probably be condensed to one or two sentences with fewer details on the contents of the birth certificates. — Newslingertalk 09:20, 29 June 2019 (UTC)reply
Please note that TorrentFreak is a rather poor source. RSP says, "Most editors consider TorrentFreak generally reliable on topics involving file sharing. Editors note references to the website in mainstream media. The source may or may not be reliable for other topics."
This is BLP info. Please do not add it again until there's clear consensus to do so, per
WP:BLPREQUESTRESTORE. --

Companies are not covered by BLP. //

All content, including all articles and talk pages, is within the scope of
WP:BLP.

Yes, but a company is not a living person. //
Liftarn (
talk) 08:03, 2 July 2019 (UTC)reply
That is obvious but irrelevant; the relevant living person here is Taio Cruz.
VQuakr (
talk) 15:50, 2 July 2019 (UTC)reply
If it's irrelevant why do some people insist on deleting the section on BLP grounds? It is true Taio Cruz is irrelevant apart from in relation the actions of Web Sheriff (a company) just as with Axl Rose and Bryan Adams. //
Liftarn (
talk) 07:42, 4 July 2019 (UTC)reply
Because its removal is required per policy, as noted above, per WP:BLP.

Web Sheriff, MusicBrainz and false birth certificate for Taio Cruz
MusicBrainz recounts Web Sheriff's provision of a fake birth certificate intended to support Taio Cruz's alleged birth name of "Jacob Taio Cruz" over what has subsequently been established in many mainstream sources to be his real name (see his article)-
