2017 French presidential campaign

[edit]

User:Drmies removed referenced content about the 2017 French presidential campaign, on the basis of BLP criteria. That is fair enough, but the content clearly stated the rumour was denied. Since we are not saying it is true by any stretch of the imagination, shouldn't the content be included? There are many, many RS.Zigzig20s (talk) 17:13, 9 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Zigzig, I just think that this is way too trivial--just a rumor, quickly denied--to include in the BLP of an obviously accomplished person. BTW, I really appreciate you writing up articles that otherwise might not be written. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 17:16, 9 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. Actually Macron addressed it at a rally, and it's even included in Emmanuel Macron, les coulisses d’une victoire.Zigzig20s (talk) 18:39, 9 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Gay rumours about leading politicians are not unusual, but this has had some traction in quality sources, including The New Yorker and The Independent. I think it would be not unreasonable to mention it, along with the denial, of course. Edwardx (talk) 19:16, 9 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
OK, but if you reintroduce it, it takes up almost 20% of the article, and that's silly. Drmies (talk) 21:48, 9 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Yes, it would give it too much weight; even if it were a substantiated rumour. Furthermore, it's not really "traction" if quality sources report that Russian propaganda outlets and Jean-Marie Le Pen are spreading rumours. That's only traction in as far as the unreliability of Russian sources and the hatefulness of Le Pen is concerned; it says nothing about whether there is anything behind those rumours because there is no explicit evidence of anything at all, only hearsay from notoriously unreliable sources.  Preceding unsigned comment added by Piranha (talkcontribs) 00:52, 11 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
the topic seems to be still relevant, even after three years. No souce mentions the authors of the scoop, namely Christophe Soret, editor and director of the French LGBT bimonthly Garçon Magazine. Both of them have no WP article till now, a reason to briefly mention them here. Best regards and thanks for your useful contributions.Philosopher81sp (talk) 22:32, 7 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
