Talk:Patrick Power (lawyer)

message: Whilst the conviction of this individual is notable, there is no need for us to report the sensational details at length. We are not a tabloid newspaper. Further this is a biography of a living person not a fact sheet on a sensational court-case. 
I also find it, frankly, worrying that the author of this article has personally taken a picture of the guy's house and  supplied it for this article. This is intrusive and not relevant to the article. I have removed it. 
If you disagree, let's discuss it. But was we err on the cautious sire with biographies do not replace this information unless there is a consensus to do so.--Docg 11:47, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Information removed 

message: Recently a large portion of this article was deleted on the groudns that it gave undue weight to Power's child pornography arrest and conviction compared to the rest of the biography. There is some merit in this as the child porn section was longer than the rest of the article. However the answer is not to delete sourced and relevant material but to expand the remainder. There must be a wealth of information on power's legal career - interesting cases, involvement in legal policy, conribution to the DPP's office and so on. This should also be incldued after appropriate sourcing.
I have restored most of the deleted information excluding some that appeared to be speculation or a bit pejorative (eg. we shouldn't say 59 people "saw fit" to give references, just that 59 people gave references). I'm happy to discuss this further if there are alternative views. Euryalus (talk) 03:37, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Your changes are much better than the original version which I cut. I still think the negative stuff takes up too much weight for a BLP, but at least it's moving in the right direction.. --Jkp212 (talk) 14:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I agree with you - if either of us get a chance we should hunt around for details of Power's legal career prior to the arrest to flesh out the article. I'm also a bit puzzled about the jail term - the original sentence was 8 months before parole, he was released immediately on bail but after the appeal was dismissed he served seven months only. What happened to the other month? Euryalus (talk) 23:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
