 | The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute. When updating the article, be bold, but not reckless. Feel free to try to improve the article, but don't take it personally if your changes are reversed; instead, come here to the talk page to discuss them. Content must be written from a neutral point of view. Include citations when adding content and consider tagging or removing unsourced information. |
@ ThingsCanOnlyGetWetter expanded this disambiguation article into a summary article, but this was reverted.
I think the expansion was a good idea. Summarising the contents of articles on a subject is a standard method of organization on Wikipedia, per WP:SUMMARY. Having a briefer article that provides an overview of all the allegations, with links to the three main pages about them, would be helpful to readers.
Also: before the revert, @ Nqr9 began rewriting the page and adding new material. I didn't examine those changes so I don't have any opinion about them, but if we move back to a summary page, we'll need to be careful that the summary page is kept in sync with the main pages, per WP:SYNC.

- Thank you for the kind words about my expanded version. I don't want to start an edit war so I won't revert, but I'm glad you prefer my expanded version. -- ThingsCanOnlyGetWetter ( talk) 12:32, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- I don’t think adding some citation needed tags and rephrasing a couple of statements in an attempt to make them more-neutral is “rewriting the page”.

- For summary articles, any change needs to be made on the main pages too, to keep things synchronized. See WP:SYNC for the full explanation.
- Of course, this is all moot while we don't have a summary article. My position is that a summary article is a good idea. Popcornfud ( talk) 10:03, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
