This - Market Magazine, issue 134, pages 21-22 is a WP:RS for her real name. Any objections for inclusion?Icewhiz (talk) 15:51, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you mean the picture caption on page 21. It's kinda thin for BLP sourcing. I wouldn't object, but others might. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:10, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is on the caption, but I meant page 22 - On compte aussi en tête de liste des organisatrices une plus mystérieuse Bob Bland (de son vrai nom XXXX XXXX XXXXX), ancienne «ministre des jeunes » dans le culte anglican américain de l’église historique de Pohick (Lorton, Virginie)14 et qui serait à l’origine du mouvement. À y regarder de près, cette ceinture noire de taekwondo, reconvertie dans la mode, aurait plutôt des motivations commerciales. (quote - with real name replaced with XXXX). There is also some other information there (activities in Pohick Church, taekwondo).Icewhiz (talk) 16:16, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that's better. I'd say do it, and if it's reverted go to WP:BLPN to get consensus. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:52, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In a recent edit, Bri moved Bland's removal from the Women's March due to antisemitism allegations out of the lead. I believe it should be in the lead due to notability. The original accusations have earned her extensive RS coverage, as has the subsequent removal. I recognize there are some WP:RECENCY concerns regarding the removal, but the antisemitism accusations have been the driving factor in her coverage for quite some time.

We usually don't talk about notability for inclusion in BLPs but rather WP:PROPORTION. IMO, the burden is on the editor who feels that this incident is the most important thing to note about the individual. I agree it is important, but not the most important thing. ☆ Bri (talk) 15:10, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd argue that her role in the Women's March is the most important thing, and her expulsion from the Women's March is necessary to explaining that role. Without its inclusion, the lead gives the impression that she remains a Women's March leader. GeauxDevils (talk) 18:51, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The compromise revision is fine by me. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:48, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
