I removed this section as stated in the edit summary because of WP:NOTNEWS. This is an insignificant story that wikipedia should not cover for the same reason we don't give three long paragraphs to every single lawsuit that has ever been filed against every single media outlet. The sources on it are also insufficient, with the lone AP article being the only real reliable secondary source. New York Post is a right wing tabloid and not considered reliable, and Deadspin's own articles are WP:PRIMARY 46.97.170.18 (talk) 12:20, 16 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
- I've readded this section in full. The New York Post, while certainly conservative in its editorial stance, is not WP:DEPRECATED, and opinion articles cited have been marked as such within the citations. Overlasting Peace (talk) 22:26, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
- As an addendum: this article and the resulting legal action are presently and immediately relevant to Deadspin's present and potential future operations, and merit mention in this Wikipedia article. Overlasting Peace (talk) 22:28, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
- It is not, and does not. If by some miracle this will result in anything other than an out of court settlement, which is how sensationalized defamation suits against media outlets typically end, then we could consider mentioning it, depending on how Deadspin is affected in the aftermath, but until then, this is just another day in frivolous lawsuit land. 46.97.170.18 (talk) 10:35, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
- As noted in the body, a judge as deemed this lawsuit not frivolous.
- Also, the above editor is correct regarding the relevance of the litigation. Not only in its own right, but also when given the context of Gawker's previous legallyz established journalism malpractice.
- The section as currently written, seems to adequately cover the relevant facts of the lawsuit and false claims by the Deadspin and the author. Your objections seem to be based on your personal views ( WP:JDLI ) rather than the reliable source coverage (including AP, Slate, ESPN, and others.HoundofBaskersville (talk) 16:02, 21 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
- If this is going to turn out anything like Gawker (which I highly doubt - the only thing I see in common is that the political alignment of the people calling for its downfall), then I will concede that the story is indeed relevant and the section in it's current form is warranted. An ongoing lawsuit is hardly important by itself, despite what certain people want to believe. 46.97.170.18 (talk) 11:13, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
