Content failed verification

On June 12, 2020, I removed content per WP:FAILEDVERIFICATION, which advises: "Take special care with contentious material about living people. If unsourced or poorly sourced it should be removed immediately and not just tagged or moved to the talk page." The content in question stated that a man openly carrying a rifle at the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in Seattle was misidentified as a member of PSJBGC and was digitally inserted into numerous web articles and TV images by Fox News. The problem is not the reference to Fox News, which is well sourced. Rather, there is no indication of who misidentified the man as a member of PSJBGC. We should not include this if we cannot verify that the man was misidentified, and by whom. Otherwise it has no connection to PSJBGC. NedFausa (talk) 05:07, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you can not name a specific living person covered by the policy, then the policy does not apply. An unnamed Fox staff member (presumably) does not get BLP consideration that outweighs a significant journalistic integrity scandal centered on this org. ☆ Bri (talk) 15:33, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bri: Please, how have you determined that this significant journalistic integrity scandal is centered on the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club? That's what I'm trying to pin down here. I've seen no WP:RS make that claim. NedFausa (talk) 15:41, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a BLP question so using blp policy to remove it is inappropriate. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:03, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you can explain who is being protected by the BLP policy? The club as a whole? The individual in the photoshopped picture? The individual doing the photoshopping? ☆ Bri (talk) 16:12, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bri: As I indicated above, I removed the content per WP:FAILEDVERIFICATION. That is not a BLP policy. It's part of Wikipedia:Verifiability. But please answer my question. How have you determined that this significant journalistic integrity scandal is centered on the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club? NedFausa (talk) 16:15, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
