Deletion request

this page was originally created as a biography of a living person. However for the last 6 months has been a target for wholesale vandalism (since rolled back) and direct criticism of the subject in a way which is relevant to an institution but not the person.

most recent edits which are salacious and untrue include a fictitious £70,000 pay rise and a highly misleading claim about an £400,000 expense claim which was in fact attributable to a far larger group of senior manages (14 or more) over 2 years.

As these edits are being made by named editors simply locking the page is no longer felt to be sufficient and so speedy deletion of this page is in line with the criteria for pages which are being used primarily for attack purposes as the page is being used to disparage its subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonkw100 (talk • contribs) 13:30, 23 March 2018 (UTC) e[reply]

’’’Oppose’’’ disagreements over content do not warrant the deletion of a page that has been in existence for a decade about a clearly notable figure.

If you want to remove content at least explain why in the edit summaryHeliotom (talk) 14:00, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have given multiple reasons for rollbacks in previous edit summaries, however this page is now suffering serial malicious edits including by yourself and so is being used to harass which according to the wikipedia rules for biographies of living persons means it is approproaite to ask for deletion.

I am not being malicious. I have no interest in propagating false information. I’ve previously cleaned a significant amount of content That unfairly criticized Snowden. But you are removing well sourced information, and not adding any counter sources for your edits. Your edits amount to original research without sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heliotom (talk • contribs) 16:30, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have re-written the section to reference the information without repeating mistaken information simply because it is in a quote or the headline of an outdated newspaper article. hopefully this will be more acceptable. Jonkw100 (talk) 15:45, 27 March 2018 (UTC)Jonkw100[reply]

You cannot simply remove the telegraph source and add an unattributed explanation for the increased figure Heliotom (talk) 16:01, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you read the telegraph article you are protesting the removal of you will see the University clarify that the pay rise was 1.1% which is clearly not £70,000. Can i politely suggest you read the sources you are referencing past the headline.The explanation given is backed up by the Universities financial statements, I will add a reference to theseJonkw100 (talk) 19:48, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

1. Please review WP:BRD. Your bold changes were reverted, it's incumbent on you to discuss them before re-reverting.

2. You cannot simply removes sources that do not fit your narrative. The Telegraph article is a reliable source and the fact that Snowden's salary received specific from Johnson criticism is explicit and reflected across several sources. This is not POV/neutrality issue.

3. I've not readded the 70,000 figure, as it's clear that this is the discrepancy in earnings between a 10 month and 12 month salary as you point out from the financial statements.Heliotom (talk) 05:20, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
