The first paragraph doesn't emphasize that he's predominantly a classical singer and is written like an advertisement. Needs rewrite. John Holly 06:13, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

DSDWB2020 has expanded the Sexual assault allegations section of this article ( here, here and here and again reverted to their preferred content here), to included details such as the names of Daniels' accusers and an extensive defense of Daniels regarding these allegations. Since Wikipedia is not a place to litigate cases that are otherwise as yet unsettled by the courts, and since WP:BLP requires that we assume a right of privacy of people who are not the actual subjects of our articles, I believe that this amount of detail is inappropriate. Since these allegations have had a significant impact on Daniels' career, I believe that it is appropriate to mention them, but I believe that we should rely on what reliable sources have said on the matter and not attempt to litigate the matter here by introducing court documents (which are primary sources). I believe further that, since DSDWB2020 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has not contributed to any other area of Wikipedia, that he may have an undeclared conflict of interest regarding this case. I invite DSDWB2020, and any other parties, to comment regarding these edits. I will be posting a link to this discussion at the Biographies of Living Persons Noticeboard, since I believe that the inclusion of the accusers' names in this article violates our WP:BLP policies.

Good evening, fellow Wiki editors!
This article states:
"On January 29, 2019, Daniels and his husband were arrested in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and were extradited to Texas based on the allegations.[ref]"
HOWEVER, the actual source cited - a news article from January 2019 (link below) only states that they were arrested and that they were facing extradition to Texas, and that they were "... lodged at the Washtenaw County Jail pending extradition to Texas" (My emphasis -- HMT). In a published statement from March 2019 their lawyer states that they were never actually extradited to Texas; rather, they willingly traveled, at their own expense, to Texas, in order to answer charges in court there.
Now, I don't claim to know which version of the story is true - I don't know whether they were extradited or whether they went willingly in order to avoid being extradited. That is why I'm not gonna modify the article at this time, (except for inserting a tag and/or a flag). But someone should look into this, because traveling to appear in court at ones own expense, even if it is done in order to avoid extradition, is very different from actually being extradited.
Here are the two sources: the one already included as the reference, which says that they are facing extradition and that extradition is pending, and which the wiki article erroneously characterizes as saying that they have been extradited:
And, their statement through their lawyer saying that they went willingly to Texas and were not actually extradited.
