• There is a lot of information here that was POV or unverified. This article needs major cleanup. I corrected basic errors, but had to erase a lot of information because it was POV. Also, this article does not conform to WP:BIO standards. -- Metromoxie 16:57, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

• Anything notable is covered at Ilario Pantano. Could we move some of the content pertaining to the trial there and delete the rest? Looks like it needs AfD.
  • I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to just redirect this page to Ilario Pantano.

Explanation for article cull

I reduced the article to a couple sentences due to it being source-free. From WP:CITE:

Any material that is challenged and for which no source is provided may be removed by any editor.

In the case of this article, deleting unsourced content (as opposed to merely using {{fact}} tags) is especially critical due to WP:BLP:

Editors should remove any controversial material about living persons that is either unsourced, relies upon sources that do not meet standards specified in Wikipedia:Reliable sources, or is a conjectural interpretation of a source.

Finally, a quote from our fearless leader:

"I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons." - Jimbo Wales

I am not disputing the truth of the sentences I removed. However, the need for citations--especially for negative statements--trumps all other considerations on BLPs. I hope this clears up any confusion concerning my actions. Simões (^talk/_contribs) 19:38, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay.
