I have reinstated the commentary on Davis' use of corporal punishment. The allegations have appeared in a credible source and the previous editor has not shown any refutation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JasonKY (talk • contribs) 18:47, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Alleged "corporal punishment" of children without parental permission: see WP:BLPCRIME. Child abuse and assaults, no matter what they are termed, are criminal allegations. The content you support will not be included unless there is a conviction relevant to a point of notability (like a lost professional occupation or prospect). Cheers.

The subject arguably was never a public figure. He apparently did not lead a public life, or have or seek publicity even while playing professionally. Being notable here doesn't make him a public figure; performing in public doesn't necessarily either; and since 1999, he's apparently led a squarely private life.

One of the sources referenced says state lawmakers debate the fate of rules that have long permitted teachers to spank students as a disciplinary measure. In other words, the incident seems to have complied with the Florida regulations. Personally, I oppose school officials carrying out corporal punishment. But this content violates WP:UNDUE and WP:BLPCRIME. At this time, he is convicted of nothing. Cullen328 (talk) 03:30, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Cullen beat me to the punch (perhaps an untoward metaphor here). It simply seems far too early to be including this sort of negative information on a BLP. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Dumuzid (talk) 04:19, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
