Talk:Impossible Is Nothing (video résumé)

message: Is there anybody who would want to work with a bank that doesn't treat privacy protection correctly? This guy's cease-and-desist letter against the weblog and other medias seem completely justified to me. If I apply for a job, I expect the company to keep my data confidential. I hope this unnamed co-worker got fired for being unreliable. Guest Account 08:40, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Privacy protection 

message: A previous editor had deleted considerable material about the meme, saying it wasn't pertinent to the subject.  We should be clear that this article is about the meme, not the individual.  Covering the person behind the meme raises some BLP issues, and also notability concerns.  He's famous only for his role in the meme, and that would make his own life history, biographical information, etc., less important and more news-ish than encyclopedic.  The point of this article is to describe a part of Internet culture that arose in 2006, got major press coverage, and continues to get coverage today.  It's notable as one of the milestones in how these things spread on the Internet, the role of blogs and newspapers, resumes, etc.
Based on that, I've deleted a couple references that seemed a little below the belt.  As per BLP policy I don't want to spread them by even describing them here but they covered derogatory name-calling and speculation about the person rather than commentary about the meme.  Even if a negative accusation is true, if it is contentious, derogatory, from a weak source, and about a living person we shouldn't be spreading it.  Same goes for name-calling.  We should present the facts and let people make of it what they will.Wikidemo 23:05, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good work Wikidemo. Although some of the things I removed were put back the article is better BLP-wise than before. Steve Dufour 21:03, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: BLP concerns

message: They were apparently taken from a satirical article in the magazine The New Yorker.
Entertaining they might be, but, IMHO, not to be deemed encyclopedic.
Remove?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.2.19.124 (talk) 15:37, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The New Yorker article is straight reporting, not satirical at all.  Do you have any basis to claim the facts reported there are imaginary? Wikidemo 00:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

text: How about removing the whole thing. What is this crap?! Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia! --kingboyk (talk) 00:04, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Other details" are apparently imaginary 

message: Everything about it is laughable; such a person can't exist.  If this person does exist then what he has achieved is to be a first class kook.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.2.29.21 (talk) 00:36, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  This must be a hoax 

message: Yet another person questioning notability...I'll add some links here.  If anyone wants they can work them into the article.

thread_title:  link dump 

message: BLP concerns are about inaccurate derogatory information, but even there, having
no character to impugne is a legitimate defense. So, offhand, from an encyclopedic
and legal standpoint, I don't think you can conclude that just because it isn't flattering it
it creates a liability or is not encyclopedic. Indeed, even if the story is a hoax,
reliable source coverage of the hoax makes the hoax notable ( a story on crop
circles for example could be reasonable even if known the circles themselves were
a hoax). You and us. LOL. Nerdseeksblonde (talk) 21:00, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  if notable and verififiable, it should stay.
