Worth including 5G conspiracies he was promoting weeks before his death?
editBefore he presumably died, he was an advocate of the 5G / Coronavirus conspiracies, is it worth noting this in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TwinTurbo (talk • contribs) 23:18, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
- Almost certainly not, partly because the conspiracy is completely unsubstantiated, partly because it has nothing to do with him as a person or as a musical artist, but mostly because there aren't any reliable sources for it. Richard3120 (talk) 23:29, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
- I thought it wouldn't be worth adding, but the stuff that was said by Black the Ripper was tweeted by other musicians including Ambush. TwinTurbo (talk) 23:47, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
- Lots of things get tweeted/retweeted or posted, including what people had for breakfast. Unless any major news source reported it, it's just gossip between friends on social media. Richard3120 (talk) 23:56, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
- Well, here's some articles on it.[1][2][3][4] TwinTurbo (talk) 00:17, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- And once again, that's a website that fails to be any kind of reliable source... a BuzzFeed-style clickbait page where anybody can contribute, no proof to any of the claims, and the author is clearly anonymous and using an alias. Richard3120 (talk) 00:29, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
