I deleted a section under "Other" which referred to a possible romantic link with a celebrity in order to comply with the policy regarding biographies of living persons. The cited source (snopes.com) listed the status of the rumor as "undetermined". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wperdue ( talk • contribs) 06:04, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Biographies of living persons must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid paper; it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. The possibility of harm to living subjects is one of the important factors to be considered when exercising editorial judgment.
Yes, the "rumor" was sourced. That does not, however, mean the source meets the standards put forth under the policies laid out in WP:BLP
The source even states that the status of the rumor was "undetermined". Therefore, it is not a verifiable fact. There is a source that the rumor exists, not that it was true or untrue. Wperdue ( talk) 22:06, 13 February 2009 (UTC)wperdue
The result of the move request was: moved. If anything comes of the RfC(s) then the title can be changed in future, but at the moment the consensus is to follow the standard practice for ice hockey players. Jenks24 ( talk) 14:28, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Mike Peluso (ice hockey b. 1965) – Move back over the existing redirect. The guideline for diambiguating hockey players used to recommend using a middle name rather than year of birth. This was recently changed and middle names are only considered a good option if that middle name is reasonably well known and used reasonably frequently in sources. I think this is a case where close to 0% of hockey fans know that Peluso's middle name was David and Google finds only one occurrence of "Mike David Peluso" once you remove the Wikipedia mirrors and derivatives.
