512:. Notice at the top of this section, one person believed consensus was already achieved on 19 August. Just to make sure, the discussion was continued until 28 August. Eight other people weighed in giving reasons -- not votes, reasons -- supporting the removal. One gave a reason against, but that reason was responded to by two other people. Another eight days went by, and no counter-argument was given. That's as close as we get to consensus around here. Now other people are joining in, which is great, perhaps a new and better consensus will form. Consensus can change. But that's not the same thing as saying no consensus was established here, it was. -- 707:::That is contentious editing. There was clearly a consensus on this page. Plenty of serious, intelligent people think it is not stupid. Without calling myself one of those people, I think it's a fine and appropriate edit. If you don't and they do, you have to respect process or you'll just cause an edit war. I think the revert and the dismissive proclamation are a bit of an insult to the people who took the time to do things right by earnestly discussing the matter. If you have been in poor health, I am sorry to hear and my best wishes for recuperation. Nevertheless, Wikipdedia has no pause button and things happened in your absence. 554:
been diffuse and messy but it has gone on for a few weeks, and the rationale has been that "obscure" is not a meaningful way to distinguish reliable from unreliable newspapers, particularly in the case of people of specialized interest, where a specialized paper may be the most germane source. For example, someone active in a small town (who we'll assume passes the notability requirement) may be covered best by the local small town newspaper. I had suggested we replace "obscure" with "highly partisan" but nobody picked up on that idea.
189:: "A proposal is any suggested guideline, policy or process for which the status of consensus is not yet clear, as long as discussion is ongoing. Amendments to a proposal should be discussed on its talk page (not on a new page) but it generally is acceptable to edit a proposal to improve it. Proposals should be advertised to solicit feedback and to reach a consensus. A proposal's status is not determined by counting votes. Polling is not a substitute for discussion, nor is a poll's numerical outcome tantamount to consensus." 1017:(a disambiguation page that is not pertinent in this instance), with a link to the Wikidictionary definition for "obscure", which is not at all enlightening pertaining to usage in "obscure newspapers" either. Despite all the assumptions being made (in comments above and below) about what "obscure newspapers" means (denotes) in this project page for BLP, there is no clear definition linked that everyday Knowledge editors (not administrators) can consult for guidance as to what this phrase actually means. -- 1133: 31: 177:
forked out if large in scope. One should not generally edit policy without seeking consensus first.": several editors (commenting earlier in several editing summaries and on this talk page) have stated that these changes do not have "consensus". Three people are not a "consensus"; consensus is built and takes place extended periods of time. The policy had consensus until it was changed in recent months and consensus has not yet occurred, as far as I can tell. --
372:. I agree with the discussion. As a second/side issue we should expand the prohibition on partisan websites to also include other partisan sources, e.g. newspapers, but we have to clarify what partisan means in this context. Not Fox News or NPR...but you wouldn't link to "people's communist voice daily" (hypothetical paper) for further information about a mogul like Warren Buffet, or a minor radical right newspaper for a link on Noam Chomsky. 108:
than three people). Nevertheless, Wikidemo went ahead and, over these objections, deleted the sentence, just as he and others had already deleted the phrase, all without consensus. This appears unwise to me. Pushing such changes in a policy page without actually having achieved a consensus for such changes is likely to lead nowhere, as the changes will be reversed in the future by those who have not yet realized that they were made; compare
842:, then editors cannot use them as sources of information about living persons in Knowledge space. In many cases, by definition, "partisan" (biased) websites are neither reliable nor verifiable sources of information about living persons (by definition, they are "biased" ("partisan"; partial to their causes or missions) and thus citing them without indicating clearly (defining) what that bias is violates 947:, we can hardly cite it in that article!); and some of the most reliable books on many scientific subjects are often not notable, in the sense that relatively few people have written about them. We can't demand that all our sources be notable in themselves. Fringe newspapers, in the sense that they cover extreme partisan views, do need to be excluded as sources, but because they are covered by 499:- We have already had a situation recently where an editor also ran his own obscure print publication, and was publishing stories to be used as sources in wikipedia to attack third parties. I think it is worth haggling over marginal cases, if it allows us to keep out obvious cases. I also don't agree with deciding core policies by straw poll. - 151:
clearly proposed, people can discuss it. It should not be put into the project page without prior extended discussion among a wide variety of editors (not just three who support it in the face of even greater numbers of opposition already expressed to it in multiple editing summaries and comments in the talk page, both here and in
984:"Non-notable sources" doesnt' capture it well enough. Non-reliable sources is the important point. If only obscure newspapers report something, we don't have a reliable source. It's all about verifiability. We don't consider rubbish in some tabloid or local paper to be verifiable just because it's been printed. -- 679:
fine. But if I may, anyone who cares about how policy is made ought to ask how healthy it is when people ignore a discussion until consensus seems to be reached, then jump in to revert only after the change appears on the project page. Perhaps policy isn't best determined by vote, but nor is it decided by edict.
628:. If one means "unreliable" and/or "unverifiable" sources, then one needs to use the proper terms. If the newspaper deemed pejoratively to be "obscure" is actually an unreliable and/or unverifiable source, then it does not belong in Knowledge space, particularly not as sources of material about living persons. -- 257:(1.4) (or scroll way up): "Add: External links should never be used to circumvent goals of the Biographies of Living People policy.

The proposed sentence, with its ellipses (... and ...), is not clear: what is the sentence or sentences that are being proposed? Who really knows?

As I have stated earlier, in my reading of 854:. But if editors are defining various "points of view" on a living person who is also a "well-known public figure", then it seems to me that editors can cite "partisan websites" (those which are not "self-published") as sources, 102: 466:
