NOTUS article is not a reliable source
[edit]In the NOTUS article cited regarding accusations of sexual harassment, it references only an unnamed, anonymous source claiming familiarity with the individual involved. Such a serious allegation cannot be substantiated through a source of this nature, as it risks defaming a living person without reliable corroboration. Furthermore, the article highlights that several accounts with zero followers began spreading these rumors, suggesting the possibility of a smear campaign orchestrated by political opponents, especially given the individual's political sensitivities.
Nathan Law himself later addressed these claims in two credible media outlets, Radio Free Asia[1] and The Chaser[2], categorizing them as part of a concerted effort to damage his reputation.
Considering these factors and in line with Wikipedia’s policy on biographies of living persons WP:BLP, I will remove this content to mitigate the potential harm to this individual. Additionally, questionable sources and potentially libellous statements should not be added to a biography of a living person and should not be reintroduced without more reliable sources.

- Agree I also don’t think this article and news agency should be considered as a reliable source. Especially since Nathan have responded in other platform, such as rfa, and highlighted the risk of CCP propaganda and disinformation campaign. We at Wikipedia should ensure the accuracy to the most of our ability. Therefore, I agree that we should not include this. Nanarooney (talk) 21:34, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
Agree I do not think this news agency should be considered as a good resource and it is not listed from https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources. Plus Nathan already states in rfa news channel that it is a misinformation and we need to ensure the information spreaded in wiki must be as accurates as it can. Otherwise. it is a propaganda from the China and we are spreading false information. [3]Notepadplusplusplus (talk)
