Controversy, lawsuit (2019)

It seems the article’s subject is raising funds, alongside another complainant, for a lawsuit in the UK for being “Targeted, harassed and falsely labelled a fascist”. Obviously the fact that it has resulted in a libel lawsuit would suggest that this is a risky topic for a BLP, but a brief Google search agrees with my own experience: I had only heard of Power in relation to the anti-anti-fascism row, and came here looking for context, and indeed it seems that most of the recent articles about / appearances by the subject are connected to this controversy / related “cancelation”, though aside from the subject’s personal blog, not much recognizable as a reliable source.

So my question is, would a lawsuit both help to establish notability, as well as provide BLP-safe sources for this topic? --OrderOfNineNagles (talk) 23:01, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

This article is extremely skimpy on independent third-party RSes, and it's been tagged over this lack for quite a while. What are the three best independent third-party RSes demonstrating Power's notability under WP:CREATIVE, WP:GNG or any other Wikipedia guideline? - David Gerard (talk) 18:57, 12 November 2023 (UTC

Might be a good redirect to her book What Do Men Want? which at least got four RS press reviews so would pass prima facie notability, unlike its author as such - David Gerard (talk) 20:54, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As nobody in a month has come forth with sourcing actually about Power separate from the book, I'm redirecting the article there for now. If RSes show up about Power and not the book, we can always break it out again - David Gerard (talk) 19:46, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If there were any book to redirect this to, it would be one regarding One dimensional woman (her most oft-cited work), but alas such an article does not yet exist. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 22:23, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And if we're so desperate for sources on these sorts of works, I'd recommend:
Et cetera.
Redirecting to What Do Men Want? seems inadequate. Article surely needs to be expanded, and I think there's adequate sourcing to do that. But BLARing the article seems inadequate when so much sourcing exists. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 22:54, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've temporarily restored the BLAR in light of the WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE concerns, though I do maintain that a reasonable draft for this individual can be written. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 22:57, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I mean if you wanna write it, please do! - David Gerard (talk) 23:34, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If I can break in here, I think redirecting is unsound on the notability criteria; this is someone with a significant public profile as a philosopher over many years, and one of the central characters in Marx Reloaded in 2011. Rachel0898 (talk) 03:54, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I note that someone, for some odd reason, has removed all the references to her appearance in that film. I'm going to revert this, there was no logical reason for doing that. But you'll see her appearance confirmed on IMDB https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1884351/ Rachel0898 (talk) 03:59, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

She is a confirmed nazi now

Probably worth adding that to her bio 92.28.82.16 (talk) 00:01, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is libelous comment being published by an unreliable source with an animus against the subject who is deliberately & maliciously taking an ironic comment out of context in order to alter its meeting. 103.170.73.37 (talk) 10:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
fuck off nazi 50.229.151.138 (talk) 19:47, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are many comments here actually. 75.185.211.58 (talk) 20:05, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How is it libelous when the person saying it just won the libel lawsuit? 2600:100E:B080:A97C:798C:70D:27D6:EF46 (talk) 20:36, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sources are strong. Judiciary and insolvency record. Feltmatress (talk) 10:04, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree that a judicial record is an adequate source to substantiate her political views as far right and her involvement in a neo nazi milieu. Drcchutch (talk) 20:19, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
She is also no longer editor with compact magazine Feltmatress (talk) 22:48, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Have restored references to the official court judgement and bankruptcy register. Have used the cite:court template which I am not familiar with, so would be grateful if someone who knows better could check that the parameters (case number, court name, etc) are entered correctly. Chaikney (talk) 11:14, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:BLPPRIMARY "Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person." You need secondary sources to include this. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 12:37, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The text you removed was of the form "the court ruled", not "the named person is". Deliberately worded as a statement of fact and judicial record and not an assertion about the person.
Also it is a court ruling, not a transcript (which I take to mean "written record of evidence laid in court", not "judge's finding of fact"). If you feel that the wording can be tightened, grand, do so. But completely slicing it out is not justified. Restoring. Please do be precise about the issue you have with the text. Chaikney (talk) 12:58, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Those are "court records" and "other public documents". This article is a BLP. You need secondary sources to support any statement which has been or can be challenged. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 13:08, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have now raised the matter at BLP/N. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 13:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently secondary sources that I do not have time to edit into the article or format properly:
Chaikney (talk) 13:38, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The first appear to be some sort of PR-firm (via an aggregator), the second possibly some legal firm, involved I don't know, that one (5rb) may be good for "The case and the counterclaim was dismissed in November 2023." Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:16, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Her bankruptcy order was reported/published in yesterday's London Gazette, listing Turner as petitioner: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4655863 — LittleDwangs (talk) 16:14, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like WP:BLPPRIMARY to me, but I could be wrong. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:37, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
