Talk:Steven Page

message: Other than the fact they are both from Toronto and are professional recording artists, I question the relationship of Snow (musician) (a.k.a. Darren O'Brien) to Steven Page. Can anyone provide a reliable reference?--SidP 20:28, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Let's see now... the exact relation appears to be that they are second cousins, according to here, here, here and here. Tabercil 23:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: sidp was asking for a reliable reference.  those seem like promo sites, and random faqs. an interview with either musician would be credible. The undertow 00:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Divorced? 

message: Although the arrest checks out (as of right now) against a published source, remember to pay close attention to the WP:BLP guidelines about sourcing comments about living people. Also note that the picture accompanying the source article  looks like a crop of the picture on the article - it stands to reason that reporters are reading this article! —C.Fred (talk) 21:54, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: While I don't mind reversions based on BLP policy, I suggest you be more specific when you revert edits. Simply linking to a very long, very wordy policy does not tell the user what the reason their edit contradicts the policy, and therefore offers no help to avoiding the same mistake in the future, or perhaps presenting an alternate opinion about the policy.

thread_title:  Photo 

message: Based on the length and detail of the section on his arrest you would think this guy is a drug kingpin who happens to sing on the side. It's longer than the Barenaked Ladies section! Do we really need to know that 0.314 ounces of cocaine was discovered? I think a few sentences summarizing that he was charged, who he was with and what the consequences were would be plenty.

thread_title:  Drug removal 

message: There has been a great deal of edit-warring on deleting the drug arrest section of the article. I have restored it because I do not believe it is reasonable with this many reverts to delete the section and lose the well-sourced information until a proper discussion and debate can be had about his merits.
There is a comment in this talk page above about the drug section being too long and longer than the BNL section. This no longer seem to be the case.
I am a big fan of Page and BNL. I assure you I have no interest in adding embarrassing facts to the article. That said, I am also a rational editor, and I can not concur with the editors who have said that the minor drug arrest is not notable. This drug arrest caused an entire tour to be cancelled (the band was going to play a tour of kids venues), and the event has been cited as one of a half dozen incidents that happened to the band in 2008 that culminated in his departure from the band. Page has even acknowledged that it likely hastened his departure. Even 10 years later, it is a big part of what people know about him.
I will suggest that this is hardly a case of a minor drug arrest that had no impact on Page or his career. It clearly was somewhat defining - especially at the time. I think a three paragraph section is entirely appropriate.
Finally, I note that the people who have blanked the section without leaving so much as a mention of the arrest have done so despite other links in the article that internally link the the drug arrest section, thereby orphaning them. 72.139.83.22 (talk) 21:50, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Drug arrest section 

message: The article mentions reports of a lawsuit in 2015 by Page alleging he was not paid his share of royalties from The Big Bang Theory. That was four years ago; the article ought to mention whether the legal action is still pending. All I could find was a CBC article from March 2018 that did not specifically say whether the legal action had been resolved. Mathew5000 (talk) 04:47, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
