Is there a better way to refer to this person than as conspiracy theorist in the title of the article? I didn't check but are there a lot of Mark Steele articles? -- Rocksanddirt ( talk) 16:29, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
But it is strange to refer to his occupation as a conspiracy theorist. This title serves more like a subjective opinion than as a description of an occupation. Lightest ( talk) 18:39, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
In the 1990s, Steele, then 33, was convicted of shooting a teenage girl, leaving her on life support. See https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/wxeb45/my-dad-got-hoaxed-by-the-anti-5g-conspiracy-movement Is it against WP:BLP rules to mention this? BobFromBrockley ( talk) 10:51, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
[1] This recent edit removed some information about the consequences of the shooting outside the Redskins pub. While I am aware that the Daily Mail has recently been flagged as an unreliable source, does this mean we have to remove it for all claims for all time? This citation was published 15 years ago at a time when the Sunday Mail may have had a somewhat different reputation to today. -- Salimfadhley ( talk) 00:44, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Editors may wish to contribute to Draft:Sacha_Stone. You may be aware, that Stone, a leading influencer in the "conspirituality" movement was the person who produced "5G Apocalypse: Extinction Event" - the hour long video which first promoted Mark Steele's conspiracy theories. -- Salimfadhley ( talk) 09:44, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
