Journalists "featured"

edit

Journalists report the news. They are not the news. To say that Soper "has been featured regularly on radio and television" implies he is the news.203.80.61.102 (talk) 03:26, 8 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Children- BLP?

edit

Is all the trivia about Soper's children really warranted? They are not public figures and I don't think the world needs to know about every time one of them (for example) fell down a bank. Daveosaurus (talk) 07:30, 28 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

I agree. I had initially wrote in one sentence summing up that one son was stabbed, and another was convicted of assault. I think it's notable enough to mention it in passing, but to have more information about his children than his marriages in his personal life seems disproportionate. I'd be keen to trim it back to what I had initially wrote it as. Nauseous Man (talk) 17:43, 28 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
I feel like if you're going to mention it at all it should at least have more detail than it did. As it is, it's only one short sentence per incident, really not that much. It's only disproportionate now because the rest of the article isn't as expanded as it probably could be. --Pokelova (talk) 21:22, 28 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Pokelova: This is true. I'll have a hunt later for some more interviews where he is the subject. Thanks also for catching the vandalism earlier - strange that they were using three different accounts. Nauseous Man (talk) 22:30, 28 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
